Hey Monorepo

Requirements

To start working with the Hey monorepo, ensure the following tools are installed:

• Node.js (v22 or higher) - the JavaScript runtime used in this project.
• pnpm - the package manager used throughout this repository.
• Postgres App - the Postgres database used in development.

Installation

This repository uses pnpm workspaces to manage multiple packages within a monorepo structure.

Clone the Repository

git clone git@github.com:bigint/hey.git

Install NVM and pnpm

On macOS, you can install both with Homebrew:

brew install nvm pnpm

Install Node.js

Use nvm to install the required Node.js version:

nvm install

Install Dependencies

From the repository root, install dependencies with pnpm:

pnpm install

Set up Environment Variables

Copy the .env.example file to .env for each package or application that requires configuration:

cp .env.example .env

Repeat this process for all relevant packages and applications in the monorepo.

Environment Variables

The example environment files define the following variables:

API (apps/api/.env.example)

• PRIVATE_KEY - Private key used to sign Lens requests.
• SHARED_SECRET - Token for internal API authorization.

Start the Development Server

To run the application in development mode:

pnpm dev

Build

Build the application

Compile the application:

pnpm build

Type-check the project

Validate the codebase with the TypeScript type checker:

pnpm typecheck

Lint and Format Code

Check code quality and formatting with Biome:

pnpm biome:check

Automatically fix linting and formatting issues:

pnpm biome:fix

Maintenance Scripts

Convenient Node.js helpers are in the script directory:

• node script/clean.mjs removes all node_modules, .next directories,
  pnpm-lock.yaml, and tsconfig.tsbuildinfo files.
• node script/update-dependencies.mjs updates packages across the monorepo,
  removes old installs and commits the changes in a new branch.
• node script/sort-package-json.mjs sorts all package.json files in the
  repository.
