Getting Started

Prerequisites

Ensure the following tools are installed on your system:

• Docker (for containerized environment)
• Node.js (v18 or later)
• Kafka (for message brokering)

Clone Respositry

git clone https://github.com/Somnath-Chattaraj/Zapier.git
cd Zapier

Set Up Environment Variables

Create a .env file in every location where a .env.example file is present. Copy the contents of the corresponding .env.example file and update the placeholder values with your actual configuration.

Start the project

1. Install Dependencies in every folder:

cd frontend
npm i
cd ../primary_backend
npm i
cd ../hooks
npm i
cd ../worker
npm i
cd ../processor
npm i

2. Start Kafka: If using docker, start kafka with

docker run -p 9092:9092 -d apache/kafka:3.9.0

Then, access the Kafka container:

docker exec -it <container_id> /bin/bash

Create a topic named zap-events:

bin/kafka-topics.sh --create --topic zap-events --bootstrap-server localhost:9092

3. Run Database Migrations: Go to every folder and migrate the database

cd primary_backend
npx prisma migrate dev
cd ../hooks
npx prisma migrate dev
cd ../worker
npx prisma migrate dev
cd ../processor
npx prisma migrate dev

4. Run the Application

Run the frontend ``` cd frontend npm run dev ```

Run the primary backend

cd primary_backend
tsc -b
node dist/index.js

Run the processor

cd processor
tsc -b
node dist/index.js

Run the worker

cd worker
tsc -b
node dist/index.js

Run the hooks

cd hooks
tsc -b
node dist/index.js

5. Access the application at http://localhost:3000.

Usage

• Webhooks: Configure webhook URLs and trigger actions through the dashboard.
• Emails: Set up email templates and automate notifications.
• Blockchain: Utilize Solana integration for blockchain-specific triggers and workflows.
