Redis

Mac (using homebrew):

brew install redis

Linux:

sudo apt-get install redis-server

First, we use yarn - workspaces with lerna

Introducing Yarn Workspaces

cd workspaces/api

COPY .env.example to .env

cp .env.example .env

Note: I highly recommend installing nodemon.

nodemon is a tool that helps develop node.js based applications by automatically restarting the node application when file changes in the directory are detected.
nodemon does not require any additional changes to your code or method of development. nodemon is a replacement wrapper for node, to use nodemon replace the word node on the command line when executing your script.
yarn global add nodemon.

API Start

yarn start
yarn start:local # with nodemon

Docker compose

docker-compose up -d --build
docker-compose -f docker-compose.dev.yml up --build # with nodemon

ESlint Start

yarn lint
yarn lint:write # with prefix --fix
