Registry Authentication

QUESTPIE packages are published to a private registry. You'll need a registry token to access them:

1. Contact your team admin to obtain a registry token
2. The CLI will prompt for the token during setup
3. The token is stored in .npmrc in your project directory

What's Created

The CLI creates a complete turborepo project structure:

my-app/
├── apps/
│   └── my-app/              # Your chosen template
├── packages/                # (empty, ready for your packages)
├── package.json             # Root workspace configuration
├── turbo.json               # Turborepo configuration
├── biome.json               # Linting and formatting
├── .npmrc                   # Private registry configuration
├── .gitignore               # Git ignore rules
└── README.md                # Project documentation

Next Steps

After creating a new application:

1. Setup environment variables:

   cd my-app
   cp apps/my-app/.env.example apps/my-app/.env
   # Edit .env with your database and other settings

2. Install dependencies (if skipped):

   bun install

3. Start development server:

   bun run dev

4. Access your application:

   • Frontend: http://localhost:3000
   • Admin Panel: http://localhost:3000/admin

After creating modules/packages:

1. Import your module:

   // In your app's payload.config.ts
   import { MyFeatureModule } from '@questpie/my-feature/my-feature.module'
   
   export default definePayloadConfig(
     defineModule('moduleName',() => ({
       imports: [
         // ... other modules
         MyFeatureModule,
       ],
     })),
     // ... config
   )

2. Use your package:

   // Anywhere in your project
   import { myUtility } from '@questpie/my-utils'

Environment Variables

Your project requires these environment variables:

# Database (Required)
DATABASE_URI=postgresql://user:password@localhost:5432/questpie
DIRECT_URL=postgresql://user:password@localhost:5432/questpie

# PayloadCMS (Required)
PAYLOAD_SECRET=your-secret-key

Troubleshooting

Registry Authentication Issues

If you encounter authentication errors:

1. Verify your registry token is valid (the CLI validates tokens in real-time)
2. Check that .npmrc exists in your project root
3. Ensure your account has access to required core packages (@questpie/core)
4. Contact your administrator if you need access to additional packages

API Connection Issues

If you encounter package fetching errors:

1. Check your network connection
2. Verify the QUESTPIE packages service is accessible
3. Try again later if the service is temporarily unavailable
4. Contact support if the issue persists

Build Issues

If you encounter TypeScript or build errors:

1. Ensure all dependencies are installed: bun install
2. Generate types: bun run generate:types
3. Check that your database connection is configured

Package Issues

If specific QUESTPIE packages aren't working:

1. Verify the package is included in your package.json
2. Check that the module is imported in payload.config.ts
3. Ensure the package version is compatible
