Code style enforcement

Biovity uses Biome for linting and formatting with strict rules:
  • Line width: 100 characters
  • Semicolons: as needed
  • Recommended rules enabled
  • No unused variables (warning)
  • No explicit any (error)
Run bun check before committing to ensure your code passes all quality checks.

​
Hot reload

Turbopack provides fast refresh during development:
  • Save a file - Changes appear instantly in the browser
  • Add a component - Auto-detected and compiled
  • Fix errors - Error overlay shows detailed information

​
Accessing the API

Better Auth API routes are available at: 
http://localhost:3000/api/auth/*
The authentication endpoint is configured in app/api/auth/[...all]/route.ts.

​
Troubleshooting

​
Port already in use

If port 3000 is already in use, specify a different port: 
bun dev --port 3001

​
Database connection errors

  • Verify PostgreSQL is running
  • Check DATABASE_URL in .env.local
  • Ensure database exists and is accessible

​
Authentication errors

  • Verify BETTER_AUTH_SECRET is set in .env.local
  • Check BETTER_AUTH_URL matches your local URL
  • Ensure database migrations have run

​
Module not found errors

  • Clear cache and reinstall dependencies: 
    rm -rf node_modules .next
bun install

​
Development workflow

  1. Start dev server - bun dev
  2. Make changes - Edit files in app/, components/, or lib/
  3. Check browser - Changes appear automatically
  4. Run quality checks - bun check and bun typecheck
  5. Commit changes - Follow commit conventions
