LawNet Scraper

Searchable catalog and ingestion pipeline for Singapore judgments published by LawNet OpenLaw and eLitigation.

Prerequisites

• Docker with Compose v2
• just
• uv
• fnm
• pnpm 10

The web package is pinned to Node.js 22 through .node-version:

fnm use --install-if-missing
corepack enable

Local Setup

cp .env.example .env
just up

The public web service is available only at http://127.0.0.1:3406. PostgreSQL, Flyway, the scheduler, and the worker do not publish host ports.

just down stops the stack without deleting the named PostgreSQL volume.

Verification

just check-compose
just lint
just typecheck
just test

The data-ingest application is intentionally limited to printing Hello world in Phase 1. Compose keeps the scheduler and worker placeholders alive and probes their PostgreSQL and network access; queue and scheduling behavior arrives in Phase 3.

Common Commands

just logs
just logs web
just migrate
just build
just down

The values in .env.example are development-only. When changing PostgreSQL credentials, update DATABASE_URL to match.
