These commands will set up your database schema, apply migrations, seed initial data, and open Prisma Studio for database exploration.

Starting the Application

To start the development server, run:

npm run dev

This will launch the application on http://localhost:3000.

Setting Up Stripe CLI

Integrating Stripe CLI into your development workflow allows for efficient testing and management of Stripe functionalities. Here's how to set it up:

1. Install Stripe CLI:

   • refer to the Stripe CLI documentation

2. Authenticate with Your Stripe Account:

   • After installation, authenticate the CLI with your Stripe account:

     stripe login

   • This command will open a browser window prompting you to log in to your Stripe account and grant access to the CLI.

3. Forward Webhooks to Your Local Server:

   • To test webhook integrations locally, use the following command:

     stripe listen --forward-to localhost:3000/api/webhook

   • This sets up a listener that forwards Stripe events to your local webhook endpoint.

Available Commands

You can execute the following commands using npm run [command]:

Command	Description
dev	Starts a development instance of the app
