Installation

This guide will help you set up the TaskFlow Backend for local development.

Prerequisites

Ensure you have the following installed on your machine:

• Node.js (Latest LTS version recommended)
• pnpm (Package manager)
• MongoDB (Database) - Optional if using Docker
• Infisical (Secrets Management)

Cloning the Repository

git clone https://github.com/letrome/taskflow-backend.git
cd taskflow-backend

Installing Dependencies

Install the project dependencies using pnpm:

pnpm install

Setting up Environment Variables

We use Infisical to manage secrets securely.

1. Install the Infisical CLI:

   brew install infisical/get/infisical
   

2. Login to Infisical:

   infisical login
   

3. Initialize the Project: Select the existing project if prompted.

   infisical init
   

Running the Application

Start the development server with hot-reloading:

pnpm run dev

This command uses infisical run to inject environment variables and tsx watch to restart on file changes.
