Getting Started

This section walks you from pnpm add to a working signup → login → protected endpoint flow. The four pages you'll spend the most time on:

• Installation — what to install for backend / client / react.
• Setup Checklist — the boot-time wiring that catches everyone the first time (cookie-parser, CORS headers, EventEmitter, ValidationPipe, AuthExceptionFilter).
• Database Setup — three supported paths: TypeORM synchronize, generated migrations, or copy-paste SQL. Read this before your first run.
• Environment & Secrets — required env vars, secret rotation.

Then pick a quickstart based on your stack:

• Backend (NestJS)
• React SPA
• Next.js (App Router)
• Vanilla JS / non-React frontend
