This project was created with Better-T-Stack, a modern TypeScript stack that combines React, TanStack Start, Self, ORPC, and more.

Features

• TypeScript - For type safety and improved developer experience
• TanStack Start - SSR framework with TanStack Router
• React Native - Build mobile apps using React
• Expo - Tools for React Native development
• TailwindCSS - Utility-first CSS for rapid UI development
• Shared UI package - shadcn/ui primitives live in packages/ui
• oRPC - End-to-end type-safe APIs with OpenAPI integration
• Drizzle - TypeScript-first ORM
• SQLite/Turso - Database engine
• Authentication - Better-Auth
• Oxlint - Oxlint + Oxfmt (linting & formatting)
• Tauri - Build native desktop applications
• Turborepo - Optimized monorepo build system

Getting Started

First, install the dependencies:

bun install

Database Setup

This project uses SQLite with Drizzle ORM.

1. Start the local SQLite database (optional): D1 local development and migrations are handled automatically by Alchemy during dev and deploy.

2. Update your .env file in the apps/web directory with the appropriate connection details if needed.

3. Apply the schema to your database:

bun run db:push

Then, run the development server:

bun run dev

Open http://localhost:3001 in your browser to see the fullstack application. Use the Expo Go app to run the mobile application.

UI Customization

React web apps in this stack share shadcn/ui primitives through packages/ui.

• Change design tokens and global styles in packages/ui/src/styles/globals.css
• Update shared primitives in packages/ui/src/components/*
• Adjust shadcn aliases or style config in packages/ui/components.json and apps/web/components.json

Add more shared components

Run this from the project root to add more primitives to the shared UI package:

npx shadcn@latest add accordion dialog popover sheet table -c packages/ui

Import shared components like this:

import { Button } from "@labs/ui/components/button";

Add app-specific blocks

If you want to add app-specific blocks instead of shared primitives, run the shadcn CLI from apps/web.

Deployment (Cloudflare via Alchemy)

• Dev: cd apps/web && bun run alchemy dev
• Deploy: cd apps/web && bun run deploy
• Destroy: cd apps/web && bun run destroy

For more details, see the guide on Deploying to Cloudflare with Alchemy.

Git Hooks and Formatting

• Format and lint fix: bun run check

Available Scripts

• bun run dev: Start all applications in development mode
• bun run build: Build all applications
• bun run dev:web: Start only the web application
• bun run check-types: Check TypeScript types across all apps
• bun run dev:native: Start the React Native/Expo development server
• bun run db:push: Push schema changes to database
• bun run db:generate: Generate database client/types
• bun run check: Run Oxlint and Oxfmt
• cd apps/web && bun run desktop:dev: Start Tauri desktop app in development
• cd apps/web && bun run desktop:build: Build Tauri desktop app
• Note: Desktop builds package static web assets. TanStack Start needs a static/export build configuration before desktop packaging will work.
