Development Environment (Local)

System Requirements

💡 Before you begin, make sure you have the following installed:

Getting Started With Local Development

Amplication is using a monorepo (powered by Nx Workspaces) with multiple apps and libraries.

Follow these simple instructions to set up a local development environment.

Clone the repository and install dependencies:

git clone https://github.com/amplication/amplication.git
cd amplication
npm install

Run the setup script, which takes care of installing dependencies, building packages and ensuring your workspace is dev-ready.

npm run setup:dev

Spin up all required infrastructure (Postgres, Kafka, etc.) using Docker Compose:

# To be able to view logs
npm run docker:dev

# Or, if you prefer to run it at the background
npm run docker:dev -- -d

Apply database migrations:

npm run db:migrate:deploy

To start developing, run the serve target of the desired app:

# This will serve the Amplication Server in development mode
npx nx serve amplication-server

# This will serve the Amplication Client in development mode
npx nx serve amplication-client

Please note that in order to be able to run the app's client properly, you need to serve both the server and client.

That's it, you are good to go! Happy hacking! 👾

You can always find more information in each app/library's respective README.md file.

Setting Up Amplication Manually

You can use a manual step-by-step approach to set up Amplication in a local development environment. To do so, you should follow the following instructions for Setting Up Amplication Server, and Setting Up Amplication Client.

Setting up Amplication Server

Amplication Server is the main component of the platform that provides all the core functionality to design and create low-code applications. The server exposes a GraphQL API for all actions. The server is built with the following awesome open-source technologies: Node.js, NestJS, Prisma over PostgreSQL, GraphQL API, and many more...

Setting Up Amplication Client

Amplication Client is the front end of the platform that provides you with an easy-to-drive UI for building your next low-code application. The client is based on React, Apollo client, Primer components, React Material Web Components, Formik, and more.

Version 1

Amplication is currently in version 1. This is the first major release of Amplication with enterprise-grade production readiness & scale. In this version, we have introduced multiple new features and enhanced the existing ones. The feature set is listed above in the Features section.

Support

Ask your questions and participate in discussions regarding Amplication-related and web-dev topics at the Amplication Discord server.
