There are two ways of initializing an app using the create-t3-turbo starter. You can either use this repository as a template:

or use Turbo's CLI to init your project (use PNPM as package manager):

npx create-turbo@latest -e https://github.com/t3-oss/create-t3-turbo

In this template, we use @acme as a placeholder for package names. As a user, you might want to replace it with your own organization or project name. You can use find-and-replace to change all the instances of @acme to something like @my-company or @project-name.

Quick Start

Note
The db package is preconfigured to use Supabase and is edge-bound with the Vercel Postgres driver. If you're using something else, make the necessary modifications to the schema as well as the client and the drizzle config. If you want to switch to non-edge database driver, remove export const runtime = "edge"; from all pages and api routes.

To get it running, follow the steps below:

1. Setup dependencies

# Install dependencies
pnpm i

# Configure environment variables
# There is an `.env.example` in the root directory you can use for reference
cp .env.example .env

# Push the Drizzle schema to the database
pnpm db:push

2. Configure Expo dev-script

Use iOS Simulator

• Make sure you have XCode and XCommand Line Tools installed as shown on expo docs.

+  "dev": "expo start --ios",

• Run pnpm dev at the project root folder.

Use Android Emulator

• Install Android Studio tools as shown on expo docs.

• Change the dev script at apps/expo/package.json to open the Android emulator.

+  "dev": "expo start --android",

• Run pnpm dev at the project root folder.

3. Configuring Next-Auth to work with Expo

In order to get Next-Auth to work with Expo, you must either:

Deploy the Auth Proxy (RECOMMENDED)

In apps/auth-proxy you can find a Nitro server that proxies OAuth requests. By deploying this and setting the AUTH_REDIRECT_PROXY_URL environment variable to the URL of this proxy, you can get OAuth working in preview deployments and development for Expo apps. See more deployment instructions in the auth proxy README.

By using the proxy server, the Next.js apps will forward any auth requests to the proxy server, which will handle the OAuth flow and then redirect back to the Next.js app. This makes it easy to get OAuth working since you'll have a stable URL that is publically accessible and doesn't change for every deployment and doesn't rely on what port the app is running on. So if port 3000 is taken and your Next.js app starts at port 3001 instead, your auth should still work without having to reconfigure the OAuth provider.

Add your local IP to your OAuth provider

You can alternatively add your local IP (e.g. 192.168.x.y:$PORT) to your OAuth provider. This may not be as reliable as your local IP may change when you change networks. Some OAuth providers may also only support a single callback URL for each app making this approach unviable for some providers (e.g. GitHub).

4a. When it's time to add a new UI component

Run the ui-add script to add a new UI component using the interactive shadcn/ui CLI:

pnpm ui-add

When the component(s) has been installed, you should be good to go and start using it in your app.

4b. When it's time to add a new package

To add a new package, simply run pnpm turbo gen init in the monorepo root. This will prompt you for a package name as well as if you want to install any dependencies to the new package (of course you can also do this yourself later).

The generator sets up the package.json, tsconfig.json and a index.ts, as well as configures all the necessary configurations for tooling around your package such as formatting, linting and typechecking. When the package is created, you're ready to go build out the package.

FAQ

Does the starter include Solito?

No. Solito will not be included in this repo. It is a great tool if you want to share code between your Next.js and Expo app. However, the main purpose of this repo is not the integration between Next.js and Expo — it's the code splitting of your T3 App into a monorepo. The Expo app is just a bonus example of how you can utilize the monorepo with multiple apps but can just as well be any app such as Vite, Electron, etc.

Integrating Solito into this repo isn't hard, and there are a few official templates by the creators of Solito that you can use as a reference.

Does this pattern leak backend code to my client applications?

No, it does not. The api package should only be a production dependency in the Next.js application where it's served. The Expo app, and all other apps you may add in the future, should only add the api package as a dev dependency. This lets you have full typesafety in your client applications, while keeping your backend code safe.

If you need to share runtime code between the client and server, such as input validation schemas, you can create a separate shared package for this and import it on both sides.

Deployment

Next.js

Prerequisites

Note
Please note that the Next.js application with tRPC must be deployed in order for the Expo app to communicate with the server in a production environment.

Deploy to Vercel

Let's deploy the Next.js application to Vercel. If you've never deployed a Turborepo app there, don't worry, the steps are quite straightforward. You can also read the official Turborepo guide on deploying to Vercel.

• Create a new project on Vercel, select the apps/nextjs folder as the root directory. Vercel's zero-config system should handle all configurations for you.

• Add your DATABASE_URL environment variable.

• Done! Your app should successfully deploy. Assign your domain and use that instead of localhost for the url in the Expo app so that your Expo app can communicate with your backend when you are not in development.

Auth Proxy

The auth proxy is a Nitro server that proxies OAuth requests in preview deployments. This is required for the Next.js app to be able to authenticate users in preview deployments. The auth proxy is not used for OAuth requests in production deployments. To get it running, it's easiest to use Vercel Edge functions. See the Nitro docs for how to deploy Nitro to Vercel.

Then, there are some environment variables you need to set in order to get OAuth working:

• For the Next.js app, set AUTH_REDIRECT_PROXY_URL to the URL of the auth proxy.
• For the auth proxy server, set AUTH_REDIRECT_PROXY_URL to the same as above, as well as AUTH_DISCORD_ID, AUTH_DISCORD_SECRET (or the equivalent for your OAuth provider(s)). Lastly, set AUTH_SECRET to the same value as in the Next.js app for preview environments.

Expo

Deploying your Expo application works slightly differently compared to Next.js on the web. Instead of "deploying" your app online, you need to submit production builds of your app to app stores, like Apple App Store and Google Play. You can read the full guide to distributing your app, including best practices, in the Expo docs.

• Make sure to modify the getBaseUrl function to point to your backend's production URL:

# Install the EAS CLI
   pnpm add -g eas-cli

   # Log in with your Expo account
   eas login

   # Configure your Expo app
   cd apps/expo
   eas build:configure

eas build --platform ios --profile production

eas submit --platform ios --latest

# Add the `expo-updates` library to your Expo app
   cd apps/expo
   pnpm expo install expo-updates

   # Configure EAS Update
   eas update:configure

cd apps/expo
   eas update --auto
