## Description

MeetUP is a social calendar application designed to make coordinating schedules with friends seamless and intuitive. It was created because it can be a hassle coordinating meetings between multiple friends and across different friend groups. MeetUP aims to simplify the process of finding mutual availability without endless back-and-forth messaging.

## Development environment setup

### Without Docker

**Prerequisites:**

- **Node.js**: version 22+
- **corepack**: enable using `corepack enable`

**Installation & Running:**

1.  **Clone the repository:**
    - Using HTTPS:
      ```bash
      git clone https://git.dominikstahl.dev/DHBW-WE/MeetUp.git
      ```
    - Or using SSH:
      ```bash
      git clone ssh://git@git.dominikstahl.dev/DHBW-WE/MeetUp.git
      ```
    ```bash
    cd MeetUp
    ```
2.  **Install dependencies:**
    ```bash
    yarn install
    ```
3.  **Set up environment variables:**
    You will need to create an `AUTH_SECRET`. You can generate one using the following command:

    ```bash
    npx auth secret
    ```

    Add any additional needed environment variables into the generated `.env.local` file.
    Example variables can be found in the `.env.example` file. The following variables are required:

    ```env
    # Generated with npx auth secret
    AUTH_SECRET="your_generated_auth_secret"

    DATABASE_URL="file:./dev.db"
    ```

4.  **Apply database migrations (Prisma):**
    Set up/update the database with these commands:

    ```bash
    yarn prisma:generate
    ```

    ```bash
    yarn prisma:db:push
    ```

    Tip: You can open the Prisma database UI with `yarn prisma:studio`

5.  **Generate needed TypeScript files:**
    Generate the `swagger.json` file and the API client using:

    ```bash
    yarn swagger:generate
    yarn orval:generate
    ```

6.  **Run the development server:**

    ```bash
    yarn dev
    ```

    Open [http://localhost:3000](http://localhost:3000) in your browser to see the application.

### With Docker

**Prerequisites:**

- **Docker**
- **Docker Compose**

**Running:**

```bash
yarn dev_container
```
