Introduction

@nxpm/stack is a set of schematics that generates an opinionated full-stack application in a Nx Workspace based on the PANNG Stack (Prisma, Angular, Nest, Nx, GraphQL).

Creating a new project

Using @nxpm/cli

You can create a new workspace by installing the @nxpm/cli package globally.

Run the following command:

yarn global add @nxpm/cli

After the installation, you should have the nxpm-stack command available.

Run the following command to create a project called 'sandbox':

nxpm-stack init --name sandbox
cd sandbox

Manual installation

Alternatively, you can create a project manually:

Create a new Nx Workspace and make sure to use the empty preset.

yarn create nx-workspace sandbox --preset=empty --nx-cloud true --cli=angular
cd sandbox

Install the dependencies:

yarn add -D @nxpm/stack @nrwl/angular @nrwl/nest

Initialize a new project (where web is the name of the Angular frontend):

nx g @nxpm/stack:init web

Running the project

Before you can run the stack, there are some things you need to do.

Starting the Docker server

The stack is configured to connect to a Postgres server on localhost:5432 with a database called prisma, username prisma and password prisma.

There is a docker-compose.yml in the project root which provides this.

To start the server, run the following command:

docker-compose up

Seed the database

When starting with an empty database, you need to make sure the table structure gets created.

To do this, run the following command:

yarn setup

Start the API app

You can now start the API by running the following command:

yarn dev:api

You should be able to navigate to http://localhost:3000/graphql and see the GraphQL Playground.

Generate the SDK

Once the API is up and running, we want to make sure we can generate the SDK that is being used by the frontend.

Run the following command to generate the SDK:

yarn sdk:web

Start the Web app

With this all done, you can now start the Web by running the following command:

yarn dev:web

You should be able to navigate to http://localhost:4200 and see the Angular app.
