Documind is a pnpm monorepo with two active apps:

• apps/mobile: Expo / React Native / TypeScript client
• apps/api: Bun / Hono / TypeScript API

.
├── apps/
│   ├── api/      # Bun + Hono backend
│   └── mobile/   # Expo / React Native app
├── packages/     # shared packages (reserved)
├── package.json  # root scripts for the monorepo
└── pnpm-workspace.yaml

• pnpm manages the monorepo, installs dependencies, and runs workspace scripts.
• Bun is the runtime used by apps/api.
• In practice: you install everything from the repo root with pnpm install, and pnpm delegates API scripts to Bun where needed.

• Node.js 18+
• pnpm 10+
• Bun 1.x
• iOS Simulator / Android Studio if you want native Expo targets

From the repository root:

pnpm install

To verify the workspace layout detected by pnpm:

pnpm --recursive list --depth -1

pnpm mobile:start
pnpm mobile:android
pnpm mobile:ios
pnpm mobile:web
pnpm mobile:typecheck
pnpm mobile:config

Convenience aliases kept at root:

pnpm start
pnpm android
pnpm ios
pnpm web

These aliases map to the mobile app.

pnpm api:dev
pnpm api:start
pnpm api:typecheck

The mobile app stays outside Docker. Docker support is only for the API and PostgreSQL.

cp apps/api/.env.example apps/api/.env
pnpm docker:up

Helpful commands:

pnpm docker:logs
pnpm docker:down

This starts:

• postgres on localhost:5432 with a persistent Docker volume
• api on localhost:3000, connected to the postgres service by Compose hostname

When running the API inside Docker, keep DATABASE_URL pointed at postgres in apps/api/.env. If you run the API directly on your host with pnpm api:dev, switch to the commented localhost example instead.

pnpm typecheck
pnpm validate

• pnpm typecheck runs the mobile and API typechecks.
• pnpm validate runs both typechecks plus a lightweight Expo config validation.

From the repo root:

pnpm mobile:start

Or use a platform-specific target:

pnpm mobile:android
pnpm mobile:ios
pnpm mobile:web

You can also run the workspace directly:

pnpm --filter @documind/mobile start

The mobile app environment files live under apps/mobile/.

• Example template: apps/mobile/.env.example
• Local real env file: apps/mobile/.env (local only, not committed)

Typical setup:

cp apps/mobile/.env.example apps/mobile/.env

Then fill in the Expo public variables locally:

• EXPO_PUBLIC_API_URL
• EXPO_PUBLIC_GOOGLE_ANDROID_ID
• EXPO_PUBLIC_GOOGLE_IOS_ID
• EXPO_PUBLIC_GOOGLE_WEB_ID
• EXPO_PUBLIC_GITHUB_CLIENT_ID
• EXPO_PUBLIC_GOOGLE_REDIRECT_URI

From the repo root:

pnpm api:dev

Or run the Bun entrypoint without hot reload:

pnpm api:start

Direct workspace form:

pnpm --filter @documind/api dev

The API environment files live under apps/api/.

• Example template: apps/api/.env.example
• Local real env file: apps/api/.env (local only, not committed)

Typical setup:

cp apps/api/.env.example apps/api/.env

Then fill in the required values locally. Do not commit secrets.

From the repo root:

pnpm typecheck
pnpm mobile:config

For the API, a lightweight runtime validation can be done by starting it briefly with Bun from apps/api using the local .env.
