Development

Prerequisites

Earlier versions of Node.js or pnpm may work, but are not guaranteed.

git clone https://github.com/Viren070/AIOStreams.git
cd AIOStreams

pnpm i

pnpm run build

Start the addon in development mode with hot reload for the server package:

pnpm run start:dev

Only changes to the server package benefit from hot reload. Changes to the core package require a rebuild:

pnpm -F core run build

Changes to the frontend package also require a rebuild:

pnpm -F frontend run build

For full hot reload including the frontend:

In your root .env, set PORT to something other than 3000 (e.g. 3001). This is the port the backend server listens on.

Create a .env.development file in packages/frontend/:

NEXT_PUBLIC_BACKEND_BASE_URL=http://localhost:3001

Adjust the port to match the one you set above.

pnpm dev

The Next.js dev server will automatically proxy API requests to the backend. The frontend will be available at http://localhost:3000.

If you're only testing backend changes, use pnpm run start:dev instead — it avoids starting the Next.js dev server unnecessarily.
