CC-City-Chauffeurs

This project was created with Better-T-Stack, a modern TypeScript stack that combines Next.js, Hono, and more.

Three applications — a website, an admin and the API behind both — sharing one typed contract. See docs/ARCHITECTURE.md for how they fit together.

apps/web	The public website	http://localhost:3001
apps/admin	The admin	http://localhost:3002
apps/server	The API	http://localhost:3000
packages/core	Types, validation and publishing rules, shared by all three
packages/db	Drizzle schema, migrations and the seed
packages/ui	Design tokens and the components the site and its previews share

Features

• TypeScript - For type safety and improved developer experience
• Next.js - Full-stack React framework
• TailwindCSS - Utility-first CSS for rapid UI development
• Shared UI package - shadcn/ui primitives live in packages/ui
• Hono - Lightweight, performant server framework
• Bun - Runtime environment
• Drizzle - TypeScript-first ORM
• PostgreSQL - Database engine
• Authentication - Better-Auth
• Turborepo - Optimized monorepo build system

Getting Started

First, install the dependencies:

pnpm install

Database Setup

This project uses PostgreSQL with Drizzle ORM.

1. Make sure you have a PostgreSQL database of your own — on your machine, in Docker, or a development branch on Neon. Never production: the seed below rewrites every content table and --samples deletes every real enquiry, booking and customer.

2. Update your apps/server/.env file with that database's connection details.

3. Fill in the Cloudflare R2 variables — every photograph is stored in and served from that bucket. apps/server/.env.example explains each one.

4. Apply the schema, then seed it from the website's own content:

pnpm run db:migrate
pnpm run db:seed -- --samples   # --samples adds example enquiries and bookings

Seeding is destructive for content and idempotent: it rewrites every content table from apps/web/src/content/*. It leaves enquiries, bookings and customers alone unless you ask it not to — and --samples does ask: it clears them before adding the examples.

It runs only against a database on your machine (or a local container). For any other host it stops and says so; to rewrite a remote development database on purpose, name its host: SEED_DATABASE_HOST=<host> pnpm run db:seed.

The seed writes bucket addresses for the site's own photography. To put the files themselves in the bucket (once, or again to fill a gap):

cd apps/server
bun run scripts/migrate-media-to-r2.ts            # says what it would do
bun run scripts/migrate-media-to-r2.ts --apply    # does it

Then, run the development server:

pnpm run dev

Open http://localhost:3001 in your browser to see the web application. The API is running at http://localhost:3000.

UI Customization

React web apps in this stack share shadcn/ui primitives through packages/ui.

• Change design tokens and global styles in packages/ui/src/styles/globals.css
• Update shared primitives in packages/ui/src/components/*
• Adjust shadcn aliases or style config in packages/ui/components.json and apps/web/components.json

Add more shared components

Run this from the project root to add more primitives to the shared UI package:

npx shadcn@latest add accordion dialog popover sheet table -c packages/ui

Import shared components like this:

import { Button } from "@CC-City-Chauffeurs/ui/components/button";

Add app-specific blocks

If you want to add app-specific blocks instead of shared primitives, run the shadcn CLI from apps/web.
