# ToolRate
Community platform for listing and rating developer/productivity tools by usefulness and usability.
## Run & Operate
- `pnpm --filter @workspace/api-server run dev` — run the API server (port 8080)
- `pnpm --filter @workspace/toolrate run dev` — run the frontend (port 26015)
- `pnpm run typecheck` — full typecheck across all packages
- `pnpm run build` — typecheck + build all packages
- `pnpm --filter @workspace/api-spec run codegen` — regenerate API hooks and Zod schemas from the OpenAPI spec
- `pnpm --filter @workspace/db run push` — push DB schema changes (dev only)
## Required env vars
- `DATABASE_URL` — Postgres connection string (auto-provisioned)
- `SESSION_SECRET` — Session signing secret (already set)
## Keycloak (optional)
Set these to enable login:
- `KEYCLOAK_URL` — e.g. `https://auth.example.com`
- `KEYCLOAK_REALM` — realm name
- `KEYCLOAK_CLIENT_ID` — client ID
- `KEYCLOAK_CLIENT_SECRET` — client secret
- `APP_URL` — public base URL for OAuth callback (optional, auto-detected if omitted)
Without these, the app runs in read-only mode (browsing and viewing ratings works, submitting tools/ratings requires login).
## Stack
- pnpm workspaces, Node.js 24, TypeScript 5.9
- API: Express 5 + openid-client (Keycloak OIDC) + express-session + connect-pg-simple
- DB: PostgreSQL + Drizzle ORM
- Validation: Zod (`zod/v4`), `drizzle-zod`
- API codegen: Orval (from OpenAPI spec)
- Build: esbuild (CJS bundle)
- Frontend: React 19 + Vite + TanStack Query + wouter + shadcn/ui + recharts
## Where things live
- `lib/api-spec/openapi.yaml` — source of truth for the API contract
- `lib/db/src/schema/` — Drizzle table definitions (`tools.ts`, `ratings.ts`)
- `lib/api-client-react/src/generated/` — generated React Query hooks (do not edit)
- `lib/api-zod/src/generated/` — generated Zod schemas (do not edit)
- `artifacts/api-server/src/routes/` — Express route handlers
- `artifacts/api-server/src/middleware/auth.ts``requireAuth` middleware
- `artifacts/api-server/src/routes/auth.ts` — Keycloak OIDC login/callback/logout/me
- `artifacts/toolrate/src/pages/` — frontend pages
- `artifacts/toolrate/src/components/` — shared components (layout, tool-card, category-combobox, feature-input)
- `artifacts/toolrate/src/hooks/use-auth.ts` — auth state hook
## Architecture decisions
- Contract-first: OpenAPI spec → codegen → typed hooks + Zod schemas. Never hand-write fetch calls.
- Session-based auth (not JWT) — sessions stored in Postgres via connect-pg-simple.
- Write operations (create/update/delete tools, submit ratings) require auth. Reads are public.
- Category and feature autocomplete are client-side filtered against live API data (no separate index).
- Grafana can consume `/api/analytics/*` endpoints directly via JSON datasource plugin.
## Product
- Browse and search tools by category, with ratings (usefulness 1-5 + usability 1-5)
- Submit new tools with features and tags
- Rate tools with comment and reviewer name
- Analytics dashboard: top tools chart, category breakdown, score distribution histograms
- Grafana integration: all `/api/analytics/*` endpoints return clean JSON
## User preferences
_Populate as you build — explicit user instructions worth remembering across sessions._
## Gotchas
- Orval clears the output folder during codegen — transient HMR errors in the dev server are normal and auto-recover.
- Auth routes use PKCE — the code_verifier is stored in the session, not in-memory state.
- `trust proxy: 1` is set on Express so that session cookies work correctly behind Replit's reverse proxy.
