JanitorAI Monorepo

This repository hosts the mobile app (Expo + Expo Router) and API (Node/Express) in a single npm workspace layout.

Project Structure

• apps/api — Node/Express API (Render deploy target)
• apps/mobile — Expo Router mobile app (EAS/TestFlight deploy target)
• packages/shared — Placeholder for shared types/schemas/constants
• docs — Documentation and deployment notes

Installation

Install dependencies from the repository root using npm workspaces:

npm install

If you only want to install a single workspace, run npm install inside that workspace directory instead.

Development

From the repository root:

• Start the API: npm run dev:api
• Start the mobile app: npm run dev:mobile
• Start both concurrently: npm run dev

You can also run scripts directly inside each workspace:

cd apps/api && npm start
cd apps/mobile && npm start

Environment Variables

• API (apps/api/.env): unchanged variable names such as PORT, OPENAI_API_KEY, OPENAI_CHAT_MODEL, and OPENAI_TRANSCRIBE_MODEL. The API loads them via dotenv when npm start runs in apps/api.
• Mobile (apps/mobile): build profile comes from EAS_BUILD_PROFILE or APP_ENV. Optional API_BASE_URL can override the backend URL in app.config.js during builds. See docs/environments.md for details.

Deployment

See docs/DEPLOYMENT.md for Render (API) and EAS/TestFlight (mobile) deployment settings. Additional build guidance remains in docs/environments.md and docs/testing-builds.md.
