This repository (and README) is based on Remix's Indie Stack template. It has been modified to be easily deployable to Render.

• Render app deployment with a Node.js Native Environment
• Production-ready, Render-managed PostgreSQL database
• Healthcheck endpoint for zero downtime deploys
• Email/Password Authentication with cookie-based sessions
• Database ORM with Prisma
• Styling with Tailwind
• End-to-end testing with Cypress
• Local third party request mocking with MSW
• Unit testing with Vitest and Testing Library
• Code formatting with Prettier
• Linting with ESLint
• Static Types with TypeScript

• Initial setup: If you just generated this project, this step has been done for you.

  npm run setup

• Start dev server:

  npm run dev

This starts your app in development mode, rebuilding assets on file changes.

The database seed script creates a new user with some data you can use to get started:

• Email: [email protected]
• Password: racheliscool

This is a pretty simple note-taking app, but it's a good example of how you can build a full stack app with Prisma and Remix. The main functionality is creating users, logging in and out, and creating and deleting notes.

• creating users, and logging in and out ./app/models/user.server.ts
• user sessions, and verifying them ./app/session.server.ts
• creating, and deleting notes ./app/models/note.server.ts

It's free to deploy this example to Render, including a managed PostgreSQL database.

1. Click the Use this template to create a copy of this repository in your GitHub account.
2. In the Render Dashboard, click New --> Blueprint and select your copy of this repository. You may need to connect your GitHub account to Render if you haven't already done so.
3. Give your Service Group a name and click Apply.
4. When the database and service have been created, open your service's .onrender.com URL in a browser to see your Remix app.

See the Render Remix Quickstart page for more details.

A PostgreSQL database (free for 90 days) is created automatically when you deploy the render.yaml at the root of this repository as a Blueprint. Using psql, you can connect to it using the web shell of your Remix service or SSH directly from your development machine.

This project uses Cypress for our End-to-End tests in this project. You'll find those in the cypress directory. As you make changes, add to an existing file or create a new file in the cypress/e2e directory to test your changes.

The project uses @testing-library/cypress for selecting elements on the page semantically.

To run these tests in development, run npm run test:e2e:dev which will start the dev server for the app as well as the Cypress client. Make sure the database is running in docker as described above.

There is a utility for testing authenticated features without having to go through the login flow:

cy.login();
// you are now logged in as a new user

The project also has a utility to auto-delete the user at the end of your test. Just make sure to add this in each test file:

afterEach(() => {
  cy.cleanupUser();
});

That way, you can keep your local db clean and keep your tests isolated from one another.

For lower level tests of utilities and individual components, the project uses vitest. There are DOM-specific assertion helpers via @testing-library/jest-dom.

This project uses TypeScript. It's recommended to get TypeScript set up for your editor to get a really great in-editor experience with type checking and auto-complete. To run type checking across the whole project, run npm run typecheck.

This project uses ESLint for linting. That is configured in .eslintrc.js.

The project uses Prettier for auto-formatting in this project. It's recommended to install an editor plugin (like the VSCode Prettier plugin) to get auto-formatting on save. There's also a npm run format script you can run to format all files in the project.
