Developer Docs

Welcome to the Developer Documentation!

Hello there, developer! 👋

This documentation is your central hub for understanding the programmermahin-advanced project. Whether you're looking to contribute, integrate, or simply understand how things work under the hood, you've come to the right place.

Our monorepo is managed using Turbo and pnpm, ensuring an efficient development experience across different packages.

What's Inside?

Our goal is to provide clear, concise, and comprehensive information to help you get up to speed quickly and efficiently. Here, you'll find:

  • Getting Started Guides: Step-by-step instructions to set up your development environment (using pnpm and dotenv-cli for scripts like pnpm dev) and run the project locally.
  • Architectural Overviews: High-level explanations of the project's structure, core components, and how they interact within our Turborepo setup.
  • API References (if applicable): Detailed information about public APIs, including any related to Algolia integration.
  • Component Libraries/UI Guides: Documentation for reusable UI components (likely built with React and styled with Tailwind CSS), design patterns, and styling guidelines.
  • Contribution Guidelines: Information on how to contribute code, report bugs, suggest features, and our coding standards (including linting with pnpm lint and formatting with prettier).
  • Deployment Instructions: Guides on how to build (pnpm build) and deploy the application to various environments.
  • Troubleshooting Tips: Solutions to common problems and frequently asked questions.

Who is this For?

This documentation is primarily aimed at:

  • Software Developers: New and existing team members working directly on the programmermahin-advanced codebase.
  • Contributors: Open-source contributors looking to make enhancements or fix bugs.
  • Integrators (if applicable): Developers looking to integrate this project with other systems or services.
  • Anyone curious: If you're technically inclined and want to learn more about the project's internals.

We've tried to organize the documentation logically. Use the sidebar navigation (if your documentation site has one) to browse through different sections. The search functionality can also be a powerful tool to quickly find specific information.

If you're new here, we highly recommend starting with the Getting Started guide. (Adjust the link if your getting started file has a different name or path).

Key Technologies & Concepts

Hello world 5

This project leverages a modern tech stack. Familiarity with the following will be beneficial:

  • Node.js (>=18): As specified in our package.json.
  • pnpm: Our package manager.
  • Turbo: For managing our monorepo and optimizing build/dev scripts.
  • React & Next.js: The core frontend framework (implied by .next/ in .gitignore and common usage).
  • TypeScript: For static typing and improved code quality (see check-types script).
  • Tailwind CSS: For utility-first styling, including @tailwindcss/typography and tailwindcss-animate.
  • Algolia: For search functionality, configured via environment variables like NEXT_PUBLIC_ALGOLIA_APPLICATION_ID and NEXT_PUBLIC_ALGOLIA_SEARCH_API.
  • MDX: For writing content that blends Markdown with JSX components (as you're doing now!).
  • State Management: Potentially @reduxjs/toolkit and react-redux as listed in dependencies.
  • Forms: react-hook-form with zod for validation.

Environment Configuration

The project uses environment variables for configuration, especially for services like Algolia.

  • You'll find an example configuration in the .env.example file:
    bash
    NEXT_PUBLIC_ALGOLIA_SEARCH_API=your_search_api_key
    NEXT_PUBLIC_ALGOLIA_APPLICATION_ID=your_app_id
    NEXT_ALGOLIA_WRITE_API=your_write_api_key
  • Make sure to create your own .env file (e.g., by copying .env.example) and populate it with the necessary values for local development.
  • Sensitive keys like NEXT_ALGOLIA_WRITE_API should be kept secure. The .env file is correctly listed in .gitignore to prevent accidental commits of sensitive information.
