Contributing code

Akira is built as a monorepo containing the Discord bot, the React WebUI, and the Astro documentation site.

Tech stack

• Bot: TypeScript, Discord.js
• WebUI: React, Vite
• Database: Prisma (SQLite for local development)
• Docs: Astro

Getting started

If you are already familiar with the Node.js ecosystem, here is the quick start:

1. Clone the repository.
2. Run npm install in the root directory.
3. Run npx prisma db push to generate the local SQLite schema.
4. Start the development servers.

If you are new to the tech stack or need a detailed walkthrough of installing dependencies like npm and running the development servers from scratch, check out our Local environment setup guide.

If you are planning to build a substantial new feature, please drop a message in Discord first to ensure nobody else is already working on the same idea.
