A Demo of a Strapi app connected to a React Front-end using GraphQL.
(This only needs to be done once on initial set-up)
- Install lerna globally. Lerna allows us to managing multi-package repositories with git and npm.
npm install --global lerna
-
Copy the .env.example files in each folder into their own .env files
-
Install Postgresql and PgAdmin locally. This is the chosen Database management system and will be used instead of the default file system that sits within Strapi to allow local development.
- Create a new table in Postgres called
strapiand update the .env with your username and password
- Install the global dependencies by running:
lerna bootstrap
- To start the development environment run:
yarn develop
This will spin up the Strapi environment and the Frontend React repositary.
- For a production build and start run:
yarn build && yarn start
