Getting started

Prerequisites

• Node.js 20+
• A Postgres database (Neon works locally too — grab a free branch, or use a local pg instance)

1. Clone and install

git clone https://github.com/Dorianhgn/app_saintete.git
cd app_saintete
npm install

2. Environment variables

Copy the example and fill in the values:

cp .env.example .env.local

Variable	Description
DATABASE_URI	Postgres connection string, e.g. postgresql://user:pass@host/db
PAYLOAD_SECRET	Any long random string — used to sign Payload sessions
NEXT_PUBLIC_VAPID_PUBLIC_KEY	VAPID public key for Web Push
VAPID_PRIVATE_KEY	VAPID private key
VAPID_SUBJECT	mailto:you@example.com

Generate VAPID keys (one-time)

npx web-push generate-vapid-keys

Copy the output into .env.local.

Note

There is no .env.example committed yet. The variables above are the full list — create the file manually.

3. Run the dev server

npm run dev

App runs at http://localhost:3000. Payload admin at http://localhost:3000/admin.

First-time admin setup

On first run, Payload will prompt you to create an admin user at /admin/create-first-user.

4. Run tests

npm test

14 tests across lib/auth.ts, lib/mystery-of-day.ts, and components/MysteryAccordion.

5. Type generation

If you modify any Payload collection schema, regenerate types:

npx payload generate:types

This overwrites payload-types.ts at the repo root.
