• Tauri CLI >= 2.0.0

Install Dependencies

1. Clone the repository

git clone https://github.com/your-org/CombatCode.git
cd CombatCode

2. Install dependencies

pnpm install

3. Initialize Tauri

pnpm run tauri setup

Build from Source

# Development mode
pnpm run dev

# Production build
pnpm run build

# Build Tauri app
pnpm run tauri build

---

Quick Start

Running the Application

# Start development server
pnpm run dev

# The app will open automatically
# or navigate to http://localhost:1420

Basic Usage

1. Open a file

// Using the file service
import { fileService } from '@/services';

const result = await fileService.openFile('/path/to/file.ts');
if (result.isOk()) {
  const file = result.value;
  console.log(file.getContent());
}

2. Edit with AI assistance

// Get AI completion
import { aiManager } from '@/services/ai';

const completions = await aiManager.getCodeCompletion(
  editor,
  position
);

3. Monitor performance

// Enable performance monitoring
import { usePerformanceMonitoring } from '@/hooks';

const { metrics, isMonitoring } = usePerformanceMonitoring({
  autoStart: true,
  updateInterval: 1000,
});

console.log('FPS:', metrics.fps);
console.log('Memory:', metrics.memory.used);

Configuration

Create a .env file in the root directory:

# API Keys
OPENAI_API_KEY=sk-...
ANTHROPIC_API_KEY=sk-...

# Development
DEV_MODE=true
LOG_LEVEL=debug

Troubleshooting

Common Issues

Issue: “Cannot find module ‘@/‘“

Solution: Ensure your tsconfig.json has the correct path mapping:

{
  "compilerOptions": {
    "baseUrl": ".",
    "paths": {
      "@/*": ["src/*"]
    }
  }
}

Issue: Tauri app won’t start

Solution: Try these steps:

# Clean build
rm -rf src-tauri/target
pnpm run tauri build

# Reset Tauri
pnpm run tauri setup

Issue: Out of memory errors

Solution: Increase Node.js memory limit:

NODE_OPTIONS="--max-old-space-size=8192" pnpm run dev

For more issues, check the Troubleshooting Guide.
