Before you begin, ensure you have the following installed on your system:

1. Bun (v1.2.4 or higher)

   # Install Bun (macOS/Linux)
   curl -fsSL https://bun.sh/install | bash
   
   # Verify installation
   bun --version

2. Node.js (v18 or higher) - Required for some dependencies

   # Check version
   node --version

3. Rust - Required for building the Tauri Kiosk

   # Install Rust
   curl --proto '=https' --tlsv1.2 -sSf https://sh.rustup.rs | sh
   
   # Verify installation
   rustc --version
   cargo --version

4. Convex Account - Create a free account at convex.dev

   • The Convex CLI will be installed automatically with project dependencies

1. Clone the repository

   git clone https://github.com/yourusername/bookie.git
   cd bookie

2. Install dependencies

   bun install

   This will install all dependencies for the monorepo, including the admin client, kiosk, and shared packages.

3. Set up Convex Backend

   a. Create a new Convex project (if you haven't already):

   npx convex dev --once

   This will prompt you to log in and create a new project.

   b. Note your Convex deployment URL (shown in the terminal or available in your Convex dashboard)

4. Environment Setup

   Create your environment files for local development:

   # Copy the example environment file
   cp .env.preview.example .env.local

   Edit .env.local and update the following variables:

   # Convex Configuration
   CONVEX_DEPLOYMENT=your-deployment-name  # e.g., 'happy-animal-123'
   VITE_CONVEX_URL=https://your-deployment-name.convex.cloud
   
   # Optional: Additional configuration
   # VITE_APP_NAME=Bookie
   # VITE_API_URL=http://localhost:5173

5. Generate Authentication Keys (Required for production)

   bun run generateKeys.mjs

   This generates JWT signing keys needed for authentication.

6. Start Development Servers

   Start all services (Convex backend + Admin Client + Kiosk):

   bun run dev

   This will:

   • Start the Convex development server (watching for backend changes)
   • Start the Admin Client at http://localhost:5173
   • Start the Kiosk application in a desktop window

   Alternative: Start services individually

   # Start only the Admin Client
   bun run dev:client
   
   # Start only the Kiosk
   bun run dev:kiosk
   
   # Start only the Convex backend
   bun run dev:convex

7. Initialize Database Schema

   On first run, Convex will automatically push your schema to the database. You can verify this in the Convex dashboard.

8. Create Admin Account

   Open the Admin Client at http://localhost:5173 and create your first admin account through the authentication flow.

1. Making Changes

   • Frontend changes (admin/kiosk): Hot reload is enabled, changes reflect immediately
   • Backend changes (convex/): Convex dev server automatically redeploys functions
   • Shared packages: Turborepo handles incremental builds

2. Code Quality

   # Run linter
   bun run lint
   
   # Auto-fix linting issues
   bun run format
   
   # Type checking
   bun run type-check

3. Testing

   # Build all apps to check for errors
   bun run build

1. Convex Production Deployment: Create a production deployment in your Convex dashboard
2. Firebase Project: Set up a Firebase project for hosting (if using Firebase Hosting)
3. Environment Variables: Ensure all required environment variables are configured

The project includes an automated deployment script that handles both Convex backend and client deployment.

If you haven't already, generate JWT signing keys:

bun run generateKeys.mjs

This creates a keys/ directory with public and private keys needed for authentication.

Create and configure your production environment file:

# Copy the example file
cp .env.production.example .env.production

# Edit with your production values
# Required variables:
# - CONVEX_DEPLOYMENT (your production deployment name)
# - VITE_CONVEX_URL (your production Convex URL)
# - JWT_PRIVATE_KEY_PATH (path to your private key)
# - FIREBASE_PROJECT_ID (if using Firebase Hosting)

Example .env.production:

CONVEX_DEPLOYMENT=your-prod-deployment
VITE_CONVEX_URL=https://your-prod-deployment.convex.cloud
JWT_PRIVATE_KEY_PATH=./keys/private_key.pem
FIREBASE_PROJECT_ID=your-firebase-project

Deploy to Preview/Staging:

bun run deploy:preview

Deploy to Production:

bun run deploy:production

The deployment script automatically:

1. Loads the appropriate environment variables
2. Builds the admin client with production optimizations
3. Deploys Convex functions and schema
4. Uploads client assets to Firebase Hosting
5. Runs database migrations if needed

Partial Deployments:

Deploy only backend:

bun run deploy:convex:production

Deploy only frontend:

bun run deploy:client:production

The kiosk application is built as a standalone desktop app that can be distributed to kiosk machines.

cd apps/kiosk
bun install
bun run tauri build

This generates platform-specific installers:

macOS:

• apps/kiosk/src-tauri/target/release/bundle/dmg/Bookie Kiosk_1.0.0_x64.dmg
• apps/kiosk/src-tauri/target/release/bundle/macos/Bookie Kiosk.app

Windows:

• apps/kiosk/src-tauri/target/release/bundle/msi/Bookie Kiosk_1.0.0_x64_en-US.msi
• apps/kiosk/src-tauri/target/release/bundle/nsis/Bookie Kiosk_1.0.0_x64-setup.exe

Linux:

• apps/kiosk/src-tauri/target/release/bundle/deb/bookie-kiosk_1.0.0_amd64.deb
• apps/kiosk/src-tauri/target/release/bundle/appimage/bookie-kiosk_1.0.0_amd64.AppImage

Before building, configure the kiosk in apps/kiosk/src-tauri/tauri.conf.json:

{
  "productName": "Bookie Kiosk",
  "version": "1.0.0",
  "identifier": "com.yourschool.bookie.kiosk",
  "build": {
    "beforeBuildCommand": "bun run build",
    "beforeDevCommand": "bun run dev",
    "devUrl": "http://localhost:5174"
  }
}

Update the production Convex URL in the kiosk environment configuration.
