I noticed that I forgot to add ESLint, Prettier, and proper typechecking on project init.
So I've added it and also run into an issue in my Neovim config. Where I was unable to use some LSP methods. The solution was that I tried to use a tool that was not installed, and after the typescript-tools migration for Neovim v0.11, this tool initialization was failing silently and causing some problems. Strange that this is only recently an issue. But ok, I found a fix, and now my Neovim is back working again with TypeScript. :)
After adding ESLint, Prettier, and proper typechecking with my now working Neovim, I resolved some issues, and the project is now “clean.”
Creating Database and Tables! This one is a bit “harder” because I have to plan the data model correctly. For the auth, I can reuse the Supabase auth tables, so the focus will be on the tables.
For the application I need 3 tables and a many-to-many table. For now this is enough to get the app going.
After creating the tables in the Supabase UI, I used the Supabase CLI to generate the types and applied them. Additionally, I added some API functions to be more prepared for the next day.
Day 2 of #AdventOfProgress has translations as the main topic. I want the app to support at least German and English.
Because I'm already quite familiar with next-intl, I've chosen react-i18next as the internationalization tool for this app. Which worked quite nicely. And the API looks quite similar to next-intl.
Not much to say here. I've spent around 1 hr implementing this. A big chunk of the time was wasted on a dynamic import, where I tried, out of muscle memory, to dynamically load the JSON files with the translations. Implementing dynamic loading of languages has, at this state of the app, no real impact. So I ditched dynamic loading in favor of statically loading the 2 languages.
Today I have planned out the frame of the application. The tech stack will be Expo.dev (React Native) and Supabase. This stack is what I had in mind for most of the time. First, I also wanted to add NativeWind for styling, but for now I want to start as clean as possible and focus on what is really needed to get out an MVP.
I like the idea of Advent of Code/TS, but last year, I saw that this consumed a lot of my time. Yes, it was fun, but it did not push my side projects further.
