## Features
- Built-in Process Management
- Plugin System
- Framework Customization
- Lots of [plugins](https://github.com/search?q=topic%3Aegg-plugin&type=Repositories)
## Quickstart
Follow the commands listed below.
```bash
$ corepack enable utoo
$ mkdir showcase && cd showcase
$ ut create egg@beta
$ ut install
$ ut run dev
$ open http://localhost:7001
```
> Node.js >= 22.18.0 required.
## Monorepo Structure
This project is structured as a utoo monorepo with the following packages:
- `packages/egg` - Main Eggjs framework
- `examples/helloworld-commonjs` - CommonJS example application
- `examples/helloworld-typescript` - TypeScript example application
- `site` - Documentation website
The monorepo uses **utoo catalog mode** for centralized dependency management, ensuring consistent versions across all packages.
### Development Commands
```bash
# Install dependencies for all packages
ut install --from pnpm
# Build all packages
ut run build
# Test all packages
ut run test
# Run specific package commands
ut --filter=egg run test
ut --filter=@examples/helloworld-typescript run dev
ut --filter=site run dev
```
### Local External Services
Some DAL, ORM, Redis, and ecosystem benchmark paths need local MySQL and Redis services. Start the repository-aligned Docker services before running those tests on a clean machine:
```bash
ut run dev:services:start
```
This starts MySQL 8 and Redis 7, matching the main CI service versions, and creates the databases used by local DAL/ORM/e2e fixtures: `test`, `apple`, `banana`, `test_runtime_datasource`, `test_runtime_dao`, `test_dal_plugin`, `test_dal_standalone`, `cnpmcore`, and `cnpmcore_unittest`.
Useful commands:
```bash
ut run dev:services:status
ut run dev:services:stop
ut run dev:services:reset
```
The default host ports are `127.0.0.1:3306` for MySQL and `127.0.0.1:6379` for Redis. If either port is already used, the start command stops before changing containers. Keep using the existing service if it is compatible with CI, or stop it and run the command again. You can change Docker host ports with `EGG_DEV_SERVICES_MYSQL_PORT` and `EGG_DEV_SERVICES_REDIS_PORT`; however, the full DAL/ORM/Redis local test path still expects the default host ports.
Image overrides are available for compatibility checks:
```bash
EGG_DEV_SERVICES_MYSQL_IMAGE=mysql:5.7 ut run dev:services:start
EGG_DEV_SERVICES_REDIS_IMAGE=redis:7 ut run dev:services:start
```
Run `ut run dev:services:reset` before switching MySQL image families, for example between MySQL 8 and MySQL 5.7, because MySQL data directories are not downgrade-compatible across major versions.
Current hard-coded service assumptions:
- Redis plugin fixtures under `plugins/redis/test/fixtures/apps/**/config.*` use `127.0.0.1:6379`; skipped Redis plugin tests become runnable when that port is available.
- Session Redis fixtures under `plugins/session/test/fixtures/redis-session/config/config.default.js` use `127.0.0.1:6379`.
- DAL runtime tests in `tegg/core/dal-runtime/test/DataSource.test.ts` and `tegg/core/dal-runtime/test/DAO.test.ts` use local MySQL on port `3306`.
- DAL module fixtures in `tegg/plugin/dal/test/fixtures/apps/dal-app/modules/dal/module.yml` and `tegg/standalone/standalone/test/fixtures/dal-*/module.yml` use local MySQL on port `3306`.
- ORM fixtures in `tegg/plugin/orm/test/fixtures/prepare.js` and `tegg/plugin/orm/test/fixtures/apps/orm-app/config/config.default.ts` use local MySQL on port `3306`.
