Sign in to [Nhost](https://app.nhost.io). 2. Create Nhost app. 3. Done. ## Option 2: Self-hosting Since Nhost is 100% open source, you can self-host the whole Nhost stack. Check out the example [docker-compose file](https://github.com/nhost/nhost/tree/main/examples/docker-compose) to self-host Nhost. ## Sign In and Make a GraphQL Request Install the `@nhost/nhost-js` package and start building your app: ```ts import { createClient } from '@nhost/nhost-js' const nhost = createClient({ subdomain: 'your-project', region: 'eu-central-1' }) await nhost.auth.signInEmailPassword({ email: '[email protected]', password: 'password123' }) await nhost.graphql.request({ query: ` query GetUsers { users { id displayName email } } ` }) ``` ## Frontend Agnostic Nhost is frontend agnostic, which means Nhost works with all frontend frameworks. <div align="center"> <a href="https://docs.nhost.io/getting-started/quickstart/nextjs"><img src="assets/nextjs.svg"/></a> <a href="https://docs.nhost.io/reference/javascript/nhost-js/main"><img src="assets/nuxtjs.svg"/></a> <a href="https://docs.nhost.io/getting-started/quickstart/react"><img src="assets/react.svg"/></a> <a href="https://docs.nhost.io/getting-started/quickstart/reactnative"><img src="assets/react-native.svg"/></a> <a href="https://docs.nhost.io/getting-started/quickstart/sveltekit"><img src="assets/svelte.svg"/></a> <a href="https://docs.nhost.io/getting-started/quickstart/vue"><img src="assets/vuejs.svg"/></a> </div> # Resources - Start developing locally with the [Nhost CLI](https://docs.nhost.io/platform/cli/local-development) ## Nhost Clients - [JavaScript/TypeScript](https://docs.nhost.io/reference/javascript/nhost-js/main) - [Dart and Flutter](https://github.com/nhost/nhost-dart) ## Applications - [Dashboard](./dashboard) - [Docs](./docs) ## Community ❤️ First and foremost: **Star and watch this repository** to stay up-to-date.
