Deno Fresh Notes App

This is a notes app created using Deno and Fresh. The app implements various concepts of web apps:

• Frontend created using Fresh, for lightning-fast load times
• Backend REST API using Prisma for basic CRUD operations on a database and file downloads
• Modern and responsive design using TailwindCSS
• All written in Typescript for seamless development

Installation

1. Install dependencies

Make sure you have Deno installed and at its latest version.

git clone https://github.com/document10/deno-fresh-notes-app
cd deno-fresh-notes-app
deno install --allow-scripts

2. Configure database

Update prisma/schema.prisma and example.env according to your database and rename example.env to .env.

Migrate the database and generate the client:

deno run db-setup

You can also use this command to manually generate the client if the previous command failed to generate it or you changed your settings:

deno run db-client

3. Launch the server

deno run start

4. (Optional) Set up optimized build

deno task build
deno run compile
./build/deno-fresh-notes-app

Notes

• The app was built in two days, so there is room for improvement.
• There were cases where I had to use workarounds for Fresh's limitations.
• Nonetheless, I still beleive this is a good demo for those looking into using Deno and Fresh for serious projects.
