Elio Bischof 37acd2a9d9 chore: rehaul DevX (#10571)
# Which Problems Are Solved

Replaces Turbo by Nx and lays the foundation for the next CI
improvements. It enables using Nx Cloud to speed the up the pipelines
that affect any node package.
It streamlines the dev experience for frontend and backend developers by
providing the following commands:

| Task | Command | Notes |
|------|---------|--------|
| **Production** | `nx run PROJECT:prod` | Production server |
| **Develop** | `nx run PROJECT:dev` | Hot reloading development server
|
| **Test** | `nx run PROJECT:test` | Run all tests |
| **Lint** | `nx run PROJECT:lint` | Check code style |
| **Lint Fix** | `nx run PROJECT:lint-fix` | Auto-fix style issues |

The following values can be used for PROJECT:

- @zitadel/zitadel (root commands)
- @zitadel/api,
- @zitadel/login,
- @zitadel/console,
- @zitadel/docs,
- @zitadel/client
- @zitadel/proto

The project names and folders are streamlined:

| Old Folder | New Folder |
| --- | --- |
| ./e2e | ./tests/functional-ui |
| ./load-test | ./benchmark |
| ./build/zitadel | ./apps/api |
| ./console | ./apps/console (postponed so the PR is reviewable) |

Also, all references to the TypeScript repo are removed so we can
archive it.

# How the Problems Are Solved

- Ran `npx nx@latest init`
- Replaced all turbo.json by project.json and fixed the target configs
- Removed Turbo dependency
- All JavaScript related code affected by a PRs changes is
quality-checked using the `nx affected` command
- We move PR checks that are runnable using Nx into the `check`
workflow. For workflows where we don't use Nx, yet, we restore
previously built dependency artifacts from Nx.
- We only use a single and easy to understand dev container
- The CONTRIBUTING.md is streamlined
- The setup with a generated client pat is orchestrated with Nx
- Everything related to the TypeScript repo is updated or removed. A
**Deploy with Vercel** button is added to the docs and the
CONTRIBUTING.md.

# Additional Changes

- NPM package names have a consistent pattern.
- Docker bake is removed. The login container is built and released like
the core container.
- The integration tests build the login container before running, so
they don't rely on the login container action anymore. This fixes
consistently failing checks on PRs from forks.
- The docs build in GitHub actions is removed, as we already build on
Vercel.

ZITADEL-Docs

This website is built using Docusaurus 2, a modern static website generator.

The documentation is part of the ZITADEL monorepo and uses pnpm and Nx for development and build processes.

Quick Start

Run the following commands from the repositorys root directory to install all dependencies needed. Using Corepack makes sure you have the pnpm version intalled that is declared in .

corepack enable
pnpm install

Start a docs server

# Start development server with live-reloading
pnpm nx run @zitadel/docs:dev

# Or serve a production build
pnpm nx run @zitadel/docs:start

The site will be available at http://localhost:3100

Add new Sites to existing Topics

To add a new site to the already existing structure simply save the md file into the corresponding folder and append the sites id int the file sidebars.js.

If you are introducing new APIs (gRPC), you need to add a new entry to docusaurus.config.js under the plugins section.

Build Process

The documentation build process automatically:

  1. Downloads required protoc plugins - Ensures protoc-gen-connect-openapi is available
  2. Generates gRPC documentation - Creates API docs from proto files
  3. Generates API documentation - Creates OpenAPI specification docs
  4. Copies configuration files - Includes configuration examples
  5. Builds the Docusaurus site - Generates the final static site
