The project's translations are managed using our Weblate project. You can easily add missing translations to the project or even add a new language! Here is the current state of translation:
- Clone the repository (or fork it if you intend to contribute)
- Start a PostgreSQL server. You can run
./scripts/start-local-db.shif you don’t have a server already. - Copy the file
.env.exampleas.env - Run
npm installto install dependencies. This will also apply database migrations and update Prisma Client. - Run
npm run devto start the development server
- Run
npm run build-imageto build the docker image from the Dockerfile - Copy the file
container.env.exampleascontainer.env - Run
npm run start-containerto start the postgres and the spliit2 containers - You can access the app by browsing to http://localhost:3000
The application has a health check endpoint that can be used to check if the application is running and if the database is accessible.
GET /api/health/readinessorGET /api/health- Check if the application is ready to serve requests, including database connectivity.GET /api/health/liveness- Check if the application is running, but not necessarily ready to serve requests.
Spliit offers users to upload images (to an AWS S3 bucket) and attach them to expenses. To enable this feature:
- Create an S3 bucket on AWS or any S3-compatible provider.
- Update your environments variables with appropriate values:
NEXT_PUBLIC_ENABLE_EXPENSE_DOCUMENTS=true
S3_UPLOAD_KEY=AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
S3_UPLOAD_SECRET=AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
S3_UPLOAD_BUCKET=name-of-s3-bucket
S3_UPLOAD_REGION=us-east-1You can also use other S3 providers by providing a custom endpoint:
S3_UPLOAD_ENDPOINT=http://localhost:9000You can offer users to create expense by uploading a receipt. This feature relies on a vision-enabled LLM, and S3 storage for the uploaded images.
To enable the feature:
- You must enable expense documents feature as well (see section above). That might change in the future, but for now we need to store images to make receipt scanning work.
- Subscribe to an OpenAI API compatible provider and get access to model with vision.
- Update your environment variables with appropriate values:
NEXT_PUBLIC_ENABLE_RECEIPT_EXTRACT=true
OPENAI_API_KEY=XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
OPENAI_IMAGE_MODEL=gpt-5-nanoYou can offer users to automatically deduce the expense category from the title. Since this feature relies on a OpenAI subscription, follow the signup instructions above and configure the following environment variables:
NEXT_PUBLIC_ENABLE_CATEGORY_EXTRACT=true
OPENAI_API_KEY=XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
OPENAI_TEXT_MODEL=gtp3.5-turboMIT, see LICENSE.
