Alloy

This is a monorepo that contains all dicedb related tools and applications that make it fun and easy to use in the real world.

Why a Monorepo?

A monorepo is a single repository that contains multiple projects. This allows us to manage all the projects in a single repository, making it easier to share code and manage dependencies across projects.

Why Alloy?

This repository is an amalgamation of all the tools and applications that make DiceDB fun and easy to use in the real world. The name is a nod to this amalgamation, and inspired by the alloy.

What's inside?

This monorepo includes the following packages/apps:

Apps and Packages

Configurations

  • @dicedb/eslint-config: eslint configurations (includes eslint-config-next and eslint-config-prettier)
  • @dicedb/typescript-config: tsconfig.jsons used throughout the monorepo
  • @dicedb/tailwind-config: tailwind.config.jss used throughout the monorepo

Prerequisites

Ensure you have the following installed:

  • node.js (v18.17.0 or later)
  • pnpm (v9.10.0 or later)
nvm install 18.17.0
nvm use 18.17.0
npm install -g [email protected]

If you're unfamiliar with pnpm, it’s an alternative package manager that is faster and more efficient than npm. Learn more about pnpm here.

Installation

Clone the repository and install the dependencies:

git clone <repository-url>
cd alloy
pnpm install

Note

Please go through the README of each package/app to understand how to run and develop them. The READMEs are located in the respective package/app directories. The information below is a quick reference to get you started common for all packages/apps.

To build all apps and packages, run the following command:

cd alloy
pnpm build

Build a specific package/app

To build a specific package/app, run the following command:

cd alloy
pnpm build --filter @dicedb/playground-web

These commands will not only build the package requested but also build all the dependencies of the package requested.

We also have a pnpm build:playground alias that does the same thing as pnpm build --filter @dicedb/playground-web for convenience.

To develop all apps and packages, run the following command:

cd alloy
pnpm dev

Develop a specific package/app

pnpm dev --filter @dicedb/playground-web

These commands will not only start the development server for the package requested but also start the development server for all the dependencies of the package requested.

We also have a pnpm dev:playground alias that does the same thing as pnpm dev --filter @dicedb/playground-web for convenience.

Testing

To run tests for all apps and packages, run the following command:

cd alloy
pnpm test
