VTuber Star Awards

Monorepo for the VTuber Star Awards MVP.

Stack

• Frontend: Vue 3, Vite, Pinia, Tailwind CSS, PrimeVue, shadcn-style Vue UI primitives
• Backend: ASP.NET Core 8, EF Core 8, PostgreSQL

Structure

• frontend/ Vue application
• Backend/ ASP.NET Core API
• prototype/ earlier visual prototype work
• docker-compose.dev.yml optional local PostgreSQL container

Frontend

cd frontend
npm install
cp .env.example .env
npm run dev

The frontend uses a lightweight local session flow for development:

• Sign in from the header
• Viewer Login unlocks nomination and voting
• Admin Login unlocks the admin routes and management views
• Voting and nominations can be resubmitted; the backend updates the existing user state instead of blindly duplicating submissions

Backend

Update Backend/appsettings.json or set VTSA_POSTGRES, then:

cd Backend
dotnet restore
dotnet build
dotnet run

Local Database

If Docker is available locally:

docker compose -f docker-compose.dev.yml up -d
cd Backend
dotnet ef database update

Default dev database:

Host=localhost;Port=5433;Database=vtuber_star_awards_dev;Username=postgres;Password=postgres

If dotnet ef database update is unavailable in the current environment, the repository also contains a bootstrap SQL script:

cd Backend
psql "Host=localhost Port=5433 Database=vtuber_star_awards_dev Username=postgres Password=postgres" -f Migrations/InitialCreate.manual.sql

Verify the runtime wiring:

curl http://localhost:5084/api/health
curl http://localhost:5084/api/health/database

Development auth/session endpoints:

curl -X POST http://localhost:5084/api/auth/dev-login \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"twitchUserId":"jayuhime_demo","displayName":"Jayuhime","role":"admin"}'

Notes

• Public endpoints live under /api/public/*
• Admin summary endpoint lives under /api/admin/dashboard
• Session endpoints live under /api/auth/*
• Database connectivity and pending migrations are exposed at /api/health/database
• Current frontend store falls back to static seed-like data if the API is unavailable
• The admin dashboard now includes a lightweight risk center and audit log for suspicious submit patterns and reviewed admin actions
