beavarr 🦫

A full-stack TypeScript monorepo application that leverages LLMs along with Trakt, Sonarr, and Radarr to give users comprehensive advice on their show/movie watch experience.

What's beavarr?

Beavarr combines the "Beaver" from the BHVR tech stack with the "*arr" stack (Sonarr/Radarr) ecosystem. It aims to modernize media management by integrating intelligent agents to guide your viewing habits.

While built on the solid foundation of the BHVR stack, beavarr extends it to create a personalized media assistant.

Features

• LLM Integration: AI-powered recommendations and insights for your library.

  • OpenAI API compatible

• Media Stack Integration: Seamlessly works with Trakt, Sonarr, and Radarr.

TODO

• explore the franchise/timeline
• explore what's the references in the show/movie, like poster in the scene, etc

Tech statck

• TypeScript full-stack
• Bun as the JavaScript runtime and package manager
• Hono as the backend framework
• Vite for frontend bundling
• React for the frontend UI
• Turbo for monorepo build orchestration and caching

Server

bhvr uses Hono as a backend API for its simplicity and massive ecosystem of plugins. If you have ever used Express then it might feel familiar. Declaring routes and returning data is easy.

server
├── bun.lock
├── package.json
├── README.md
├── src
│   └── index.ts
└── tsconfig.json

import { Hono } from "hono";
import { cors } from "hono/cors";
import type { ApiResponse } from "shared/dist";

const app = new Hono();

app.use(cors());

app.get("/", (c) => {
  return c.text("Hello Hono!");
});

app.get("/hello", async (c) => {
  const data: ApiResponse = {
    message: "Hello BHVR!",
    success: true,
  };

  return c.json(data, { status: 200 });
});

export default app;

If you wanted to add a database to Hono you can do so with a multitude of Typescript libraries like Supabase, or ORMs like Drizzle or Prisma

Client

bhvr uses Vite + React Typescript template, which means you can build your frontend just as you would with any other React app. This makes it flexible to add UI components like shadcn/ui or routing using React Router.

Shared

The Shared package is used for anything you want to share between the Server and Client. This could be types or libraries that you use in both environments.

shared
├── package.json
├── src
│   ├── index.ts
│   └── types
│       └── index.ts
└── tsconfig.json

Inside the src/index.ts we export any of our code from the folders so it's usable in other parts of the monorepo

export * from "./types";

By running bun run dev or bun run build it will compile and export the packages from shared so it can be used in either client or server

import { ApiResponse } from "shared";

Getting Started

Quick Start

You can start a new bhvr project using the CLI

bun create bhvr

Installation

# Install dependencies for all workspaces
bun install

Development

# Run all workspaces in development mode with Turbo
bun run dev

# Or run individual workspaces directly
bun run dev:client    # Run the Vite dev server for React
bun run dev:server    # Run the Hono backend

Building

# Build all workspaces with Turbo
bun run build

# Or build individual workspaces directly
bun run build:client  # Build the React frontend
bun run build:server  # Build the Hono backend

Additional Commands
