Local Environment Management

Local Environment Management

Help with local development environment tasks for daily-api.

Database Access

PostgreSQL runs locally via Docker in a k8s container.

Finding the Container

docker ps --format "table {{.Names}}" | grep "k8s_app_postgres"

Running Queries

docker exec <CONTAINER_NAME> psql -U postgres -d api -c "YOUR SQL QUERY"

For multi-line queries:

docker exec <CONTAINER_NAME> psql -U postgres -d api <<'EOF'
SELECT * FROM users LIMIT 1;
EOF

Fake Payment Setup

Payment status for opportunities is tracked on the Organization level via recruiterSubscriptionFlags. Opportunities also store subscription info in their flags column.

Organization Subscription Fields

Opportunity Flags Fields

Fake Payment for Organization

UPDATE organization
SET "recruiterSubscriptionFlags" = jsonb_build_object(
  'status', 'active',
  'provider', 'paddle',
  'subscriptionId', 'fake_sub_123',
  'createdAt', now(),
  'updatedAt', now(),
  'items', jsonb_build_array(
    jsonb_build_object('priceId', 'pri_fake_123', 'quantity', 5)
  )
)
WHERE id = 'ORGANIZATION_ID';

Reset: UPDATE organization SET "recruiterSubscriptionFlags" = '{}' WHERE id = 'ORGANIZATION_ID';

Fake Payment for Opportunity

Requires updating both the organization AND the opportunity:

-- Step 1: Update organization subscription
UPDATE organization
SET "recruiterSubscriptionFlags" = jsonb_build_object(
  'status', 'active',
  'provider', 'paddle',
  'subscriptionId', 'fake_sub_123',
  'createdAt', now(),
  'updatedAt', now(),
  'items', jsonb_build_array(
    jsonb_build_object('priceId', 'pri_fake_123', 'quantity', 5)
  )
)
WHERE id = (SELECT "organizationId" FROM opportunity WHERE id = 'OPPORTUNITY_ID');

-- Step 2: Update opportunity flags
UPDATE opportunity
SET flags = flags || jsonb_build_object(
  'plan', 'pri_fake_123',
  'batchSize', 50
)
WHERE id = 'OPPORTUNITY_ID';

Reset:

UPDATE organization SET "recruiterSubscriptionFlags" = '{}'
WHERE id = (SELECT "organizationId" FROM opportunity WHERE id = 'OPPORTUNITY_ID');

UPDATE opportunity SET flags = flags - 'plan' - 'batchSize'
WHERE id = 'OPPORTUNITY_ID';

Opportunity State Management

The opportunity table uses a state column (integer) to track lifecycle status. Values come from OpportunityState enum in @dailydotdev/​schema.

OpportunityState Values

Update Opportunity State

-- Set to LIVE
UPDATE opportunity SET state = 2 WHERE id = 'OPPORTUNITY_ID' RETURNING id, state, title;

-- Set to DRAFT
UPDATE opportunity SET state = 1 WHERE id = 'OPPORTUNITY_ID' RETURNING id, state, title;

-- Set to CLOSED
UPDATE opportunity SET state = 3 WHERE id = 'OPPORTUNITY_ID' RETURNING id, state, title;

-- Set to IN_REVIEW
UPDATE opportunity SET state = 4 WHERE id = 'OPPORTUNITY_ID' RETURNING id, state, title;

Instructions

When the user asks for local environment help:

1. For SQL queries: First find the postgres container, then execute via docker exec
2. For fake payments: Determine if they're providing an opportunity ID or organization ID, run the appropriate SQL
3. Always verify: After changes, run a SELECT to confirm
4. Ask if unclear: If the request is ambiguous, ask clarifying questions

Common requests:

• "Set up fake payment for opportunity X" → Run both org and opportunity updates
• "Set up fake payment for org X" → Run only org update
• "Run SQL: ..." → Execute via docker
• "Reset payment for X" → Run reset queries
• "Check subscription for X" → Query and display current state
• "Update opp X to live/​draft/​closed" → Update opportunity state

Discovering Schema Information

When handling requests not covered in this skill, use these techniques to discover the correct schema:

1. Check Entity Definitions

Entity files define column names and types:

# Find the entity file
grep -r "TableName" src/​entity/ --include="*.ts"
# Read the entity to see column definitions

Key location: src/​entity/ - TypeORM entities with @Column decorators show actual DB column names.

2. Find Enum Values

Many columns use integer enums from @dailydotdev/​schema. To find enum values:

# Search for enum usage in codebase
grep -r "EnumName\." src/ --include="*.ts" | head -20

# Find enum definition in schema package
grep -r "EnumName" node_modules/​@dailydotdev/​schema/​dist/ --include="*.d.ts"

Common enum locations: node_modules/​@dailydotdev/​schema/​dist/​daily-api/​*_pb.d.ts

3. Query Existing Data

When unsure about column names or values:

-- Check table structure
\d tablename

-- See existing values
SELECT DISTINCT column_name FROM tablename LIMIT 10;

-- Inspect a specific row
SELECT * FROM tablename WHERE id = 'xxx' LIMIT 1;

4. Common Gotchas

• Column naming: Entity property names may differ from DB columns (e.g., state not status)
• Integer enums: Many "status" fields are integers, not strings - find the enum definition
• JSONB fields: Use jsonb_build_object() for updates, -> or ->> for queries
• Quoted columns: PostgreSQL requires double quotes for camelCase columns (e.g., "organizationId")

Continuous Improvement

This skill should evolve over time. When you discover new local environment operations, common testing patterns, or useful queries:

1. Add them to this file - Update the SKILL.md with new sections or examples
2. Keep it practical - Focus on operations that are frequently needed
3. Document the why - Explain what fields mean and why certain values are used

If a user asks for something not covered here, help them and then offer to add it to this skill for future use.
