Local install instructions

## Clone locally

https://github.com/Devographics/Monorepo/

https://github.com/Devographics/surveys/

https://github.com/Devographics/locale-en-US/

https://github.com/Devographics/locale-ja-JP/ or any other locales repos (optional)

https://github.com/Devographics/entities/

## Example File Structure

```
- dev
- devographics
- monorepo
- surveys
- locales
- locale-en-US
- locale-ja-JP
- entities
```

## pnpm i

`pnpm i` in the root of the monorepo directory.

## API

All other apps needs the API to be running locally.

### 1. Env variables

- As of Feb 2026, *every app needs its own .env file*. Maybe add a root common .env file eventually?
- Change every `Users/foo/...` local filesystem path to match your own local filesystem.
-
### 2. Run API

`pnpm run dev`

## GraphiQL

We can also run GraphiQL to make sure the API is working.

- Go to `monorepo/graphiql`
- create `.env` file (see below)
- `pnpm run dev`

Sample `.env` file:

```
REACT_APP_API_URL=http://localhost:4020/graphql
SKIP_PREFLIGHT_CHECK=true
PORT=4030
```

Sample GraphQL query to check that everything is working:

```
{
translation(key: "general.js2025.survey_intro", localeId: en_US) {
key
t
tHtml
tClean
context
isFallback
aliasFor
}
}
```

Start by locating the repository's contributor or setup documentation and compare it with the steps in this issue. Document cloning the listed repositories, installing dependencies, configuring per-app environment files, running the API and GraphiQL, and verifying the sample GraphQL query; done means a newcomer can follow the instructions to reach a working local setup.
