Install and Creating project

Required Environment

Farrow uses the latest TypeScript and Node.js features, so make sure we have the correct version installed before we start!

• Node.js v14.0.0 or higher (check current version via node -v)
• TypeScript v4.3.0 or higher（Can be installed with scaffolding if farrow is not introduced in an existing project）

Creating project

We create the project template with create-farrow-app.

Run the following code when using npm：

npm init farrow-app

Run the following code when using yarn:

yarn create farrow-app

Then follow the prompts given on the command line, enter the project name todo-app, and select scaffolding farrow-vite-react.

It will create a full-stack scaffold containing farrow, vite and react.

Execute the following commands in sequence to switch to the project folder, install the dependencies, and start.

cd todo-app

npm install

npm run dev

Project directory

After the installation is complete, the project directory is roughly as follows:

In the picture above:

• The server directory is the farrow server-side development directory, where the back-end interface is developed.

• The src directory is the source code directory of the next.js page, where the front-end pages are developed.

• The farrow-config.js file is the farrow configuration file, which can configure server or api-related compilation behavior.

• The vite.config.ts file is a vite configuration file that allows you to configure vite related behavior

Next, let's unpack the code for developing and using the greet api interface that is already built into the project.
