Getting Started

Stackyard is a Wails desktop application: a Go backend paired with a React/TypeScript frontend, packaged as a single native binary. Running it from source requires the same toolchain any Wails app needs, plus Docker for the environments it manages.

Prerequisites

• Go 1.25 or newer
• Node.js and pnpm (the frontend package manager)
• Wails CLI — go install github.com/wailsapp/wails/v2/cmd/wails@latest
• Docker Desktop (or a local Docker Engine) — running, before you start any environment from Stackyard

Run in development mode

git clone https://github.com/KamerrEzz/stackyard.git
cd stackyard
wails dev

wails dev builds the Go backend, starts a Vite dev server for the frontend, and opens the app window with hot reload enabled. If you'd rather develop in a browser and inspect the bound Go methods directly, it also exposes a dev server at http://localhost:34115.

Build a production binary

wails build

This produces a redistributable native binary (see wails.json for the exact output name and platform target).

Using the app

1. Open Environments, name a profile, pick one or more engines (PostgreSQL, MySQL, MongoDB, Redis), and click Create & Start.
2. Copy the generated connection string, or open DB Client and paste it directly — Stackyard parses the URL and fills the connection form.
3. Browse the schema tree, edit data in the spreadsheet-style grid, write and save queries, or generate a schema diagram — all from the same window, without a separate GUI client.
