Development

Pre-requisite

AppFlowy Cloud must be running and accessible by AppFlowy Web. If you alredy have AppFlowy Cloud running, you can skip this step.

For local development, please follow the steps below:

1. Install Docker and Docker Compose
2. Clone the AppFlowy Cloud repository.
3. Copy deploy.env to .env, then run docker-compose up -d.
4. The AppFlowy Cloud API should be running on localhost:80, and allow CORS from localhost:3000 by default.
5. Setup at least one sign in method: SMTP for magic link, or using an OAuth provider. Refer to AppFlowy Cloud repository for more details.

Running AppFlowy Web Locally

1. Copy .development.env to .env. The default value assumes that AppFlowy Cloud is deployed on localhost. If not, please update the value of the API endpoints.
2. Make sure npm has been installed on your dev environment, then run the following:

# npm install pnpm@8.5.0
pnpm install

pnpm run dev

Open your browser to visit localhost:3000
