# Mercury

ActivityPub server implementation (hopefully, eventually),
currently mostly a way for me to play around with writing an API server in TypeScript.

## Configuration

For now, check out `src/config.ts`, the names should be mostly self explanatory.
Consider all environment variables required.

## Development commands

- Building the server: `pnpm build`
- Migrating the database: `pnpm migrate`
- Watching for changes and reloading the server automatically: `pnpm dev`
- Formatting: `pnpm format`
- Linting (if you don't have an ESLint plugin): `pnpm format`

## Creating migrations

Creating migrations is a little awkward because TypeORM expects `ts-node`, which uses `tsc`.
To create a migration, first run `pnpm build`,
then run `pnpm typeorm migration:generate -p -d ./dist/db/index.js ./src/db/migrations/<name>`,
replacing `<name>` with the name of the migration you're creating.
Then rename the created file to end in `.js` and remove the TypeScript-specific code from it.
(Yes, this is incredibly janky, but it works, and it only needs to be done once per migration, actually migrating works flawlessly)
