Common Setup Pattern

All frameworks follow the same basic setup:

1. Initialize

npx trigger.dev@latest init

2. Start Dev Server

npx trigger.dev@latest dev

3. Set Environment Variable

TRIGGER_SECRET_KEY=your-dev-secret-key

4. Deploy

npx trigger.dev@latest deploy

Key Concepts

• Tasks live in the /trigger directory (or wherever you configure dirs in trigger.config.ts)
• The dev server runs alongside your framework's dev server
• Tasks are isolated from your main app and run in separate containers
• Environment variables for tasks must be set in the Trigger.dev dashboard (not your app's .env)
