Welcome to your new TanStack Start app! # Getting Started To run this application: ```bash npm install npm run dev ``` This requires a running Postgres database — see [Local development database](#local-development-database) below before your first run. # Building For Production To build this application for production: ```bash npm run build ``` ## Styling This project uses SCSS Modules. Every component that needs styles gets a co-located `Component.module.scss` next to `Component.tsx`; shared tokens (colors, spacing, breakpoints) live in `src/styles/_variables.scss`. See `CLAUDE.md` for the full styling conventions. ## Linting & Formatting This project uses [eslint](https://eslint.org/) and [prettier](https://prettier.io/) for linting and formatting. Eslint is configured using [tanstack/eslint-config](https://tanstack.com/config/latest/docs/eslint). The following scripts are available: ```bash npm run lint npm run format npm run check ``` ## Local development database This project requires a Postgres database — both for its own data (Drizzle, see `src/db/schema.ts`) and for Better Auth's own tables (users, sessions, etc). A `docker-compose.yml` at the repo root starts one: ```bash docker compose up -d # starts Postgres on localhost:5433 cp .env.example .env.local # sets DATABASE_URL to match npm run db:migrate # applies this project's Drizzle migrations npm run auth:migrate # applies Better Auth's own tables npm run db:seed # seeds a sample Brand, menu, and Machines npm run dev ``` `DATABASE_URL` in `.env.local` is picked up automatically by both the dev server and the `drizzle-kit` commands above — no other wiring needed. After changing `src/db/schema.ts`, generate and apply a new migration rather than editing the database by hand: ```bash npm run db:generate npm run db:migrate ``` ## Setting up Better Auth Generate and set the `BETTER_AUTH_SECRET` environment variable in your `.env.local`: ```bash npx @better-auth/cli secret ``` See the [Better Auth documentation](https://www.better-auth.com) for more on configuring authentication. ## Routing This project uses [TanStack Router](https://tanstack.com/router) with file-based routing. Routes are managed as files in `src/routes`. ### Adding A Route To add a new route to your application just add a new file in the `./src/routes` directory. TanStack will automatically generate the content of the route file for you. Now that you have two routes you can use a `Link` component to navigate between them. ### Adding Links To use SPA (Single Page Application) navigation you will need to import the `Link` component from `@tanstack/react-router`. ```tsx import { Link } from "@tanstack/react-router"; ``` Then anywhere in your JSX you can use it like so: ```tsx About ``` This will create a link that will navigate to the `/about` route. More information on the `Link` component can be found in the [Link documentation](https://tanstack.com/router/v1/docs/framework/react/api/router/linkComponent). ### Using A Layout In the File Based Routing setup the layout is located in `src/routes/__root.tsx`. Anything you add to the root route will appear in all the routes. The route content will appear in the JSX where you render `{children}` in the `shellComponent`. Here is an example layout that includes a header: ```tsx import { HeadContent, Scripts, createRootRoute } from '@tanstack/react-router' export const Route = createRootRoute({ head: () => ({ meta: [ { charSet: 'utf-8' }, { name: 'viewport', content: 'width=device-width, initial-scale=1' }, { title: 'My App' }, ], }), shellComponent: ({ children }) => (
{children} ), }) ``` More information on layouts can be found in the [Layouts documentation](https://tanstack.com/router/latest/docs/framework/react/guide/routing-concepts#layouts). ## Server Functions TanStack Start provides server functions that allow you to write server-side code that seamlessly integrates with your client components. ```tsx import { createServerFn } from '@tanstack/react-start' const getServerTime = createServerFn({ method: 'GET', }).handler(async () => { return new Date().toISOString() }) // Use in a component function MyComponent() { const [time, setTime] = useState('') useEffect(() => { getServerTime().then(setTime) }, []) return
Server time: {time}
} ``` ## API Routes You can create API routes by using the `server` property in your route definitions: ```tsx import { createFileRoute } from '@tanstack/react-router' import { json } from '@tanstack/react-start' export const Route = createFileRoute('/api/hello')({ server: { handlers: { GET: () => json({ message: 'Hello, World!' }), }, }, }) ``` ## Data Fetching There are multiple ways to fetch data in your application. You can use TanStack Query to fetch data from a server. But you can also use the `loader` functionality built into TanStack Router to load the data for a route before it's rendered. For example: ```tsx import { createFileRoute } from '@tanstack/react-router' export const Route = createFileRoute('/people')({ loader: async () => { const response = await fetch('https://swapi.dev/api/people') return response.json() }, component: PeopleComponent, }) function PeopleComponent() { const data = Route.useLoaderData() return ( ) } ``` Loaders simplify your data fetching logic dramatically.
