You can get started with Amplication immediately with the hosted service at app.amplication.com
Alternatively you can set up a local development environment with the instructions below
See the Amplication Website or Amplication Docs for more details.
๐ก Before you begin, make sure you have the following installed:
Amplication is using a monorepo (powered by Nx Workspaces) with multiple apps and libraries.
Follow these simple instructions to set up a local development environment.
- Clone the repository and install dependencies:
git clone https://github.com/amplication/amplication.git
cd amplication
npm install- Run the setup script, which takes care of installing dependencies, building packages and ensuring your workspace is dev-ready.
npm run setup:dev- Spin up all required infrastructure (Postgres, Kafka, etc.) using Docker Compose:
# To be able to view logs
npm run docker:dev
# Or, if you prefer to run it at the background
npm run docker:dev -- -d- Apply database migrations:
npm run db:migrate:deploy-
To start developing, run one or more of the
serve:[app]scripts from package.json The available scripts are:npm run serve:server: runs Amplication servernpm run serve:client: runs Amplication clientnpm run serve:dsg: runs the Build Manager and the local version of Data Service Generatornpm run serve:git: runs the Git Pull Request service needed to push code to Git providersnpm run serve:storage: runs the Storage service needed to view the generated code in the client (code view)npm run serve:plugins: runs the plugin catalog APIโน๏ธ Please note that in order to be able to run the app's client properly, you need to
