💡 The Snipp project is split into 2 codebases!
The frontend only contains the Nuxt.js (Vue) project. It simply provides a clean ui to interface with the backend API. If you want to host Snipp yourself, please make sure you have an API instance running somewhere!
Please ensure that you have installed & configured all of the following requirements:
Before you launch the server or build the project, you need to configure the following ENV
variables inside the .env file:
# ! Do not append a '/' to the URLs !
API_BASE_URL="https://yourApiUrl.com" # The URL where the API is hosted / accessible.
BASE_URL="https://yourAccessUrl.com" # The URL where Snipp frontend will be accessed from.# install dependencies
$ yarn install
# serve with hot reload at localhost:3000
$ yarn dev
# build for production and launch server
$ yarn build
$ yarn startFor detailed explanation on how Nuxt.js works, check out Nuxt.js docs.
Creating & Updating
To create a Snipp, simple click the '+' button and paste your text into the free editor space.
If you want, you can enter a name associated with the Snipp inside of the 'Name' field.
💡 Snipp will automatically try to detect the language and select it for syntax highlighting.
After you created your Snipp, you can always access it and make changes (See Owner Pin for further details). Just hit the 'save' button right next to the '+' button to pubish your changes.
💡 When you create a Snipp, the url to access it will be copied to your clipboard!
Clone Snipp
If you come across a Snipp, which was created by someone else but you still want to edit it,
you can use the 'clone' button (It replaces the 'save' button if you don't own the Snipp).
After cloning the Snipp, make your changes and hit the 'save' button. Now it will be yours :)
💡 When you published your changes, the url to access the Snipp will be copied to your clipboard!
Owner Pin
The 'Owner Pin' is a 8-digit pin (0000-0000) which is used to identify a client.
Important notes:
- The owner pin is no secure identification token! It only provides a basic level of security to prevent everyone from editing every Snipp.
- The owner pin is automatically generated when a client visits the Snipp frontend for the first time.
- A client can change his PIN to whatever he wants (as long as it meets the format requirements).
If you want to use the same PIN on multiple devices to enable editing access to your Snipps, just select the 'gear' icon on your main device. Remember the PIN which is displayed at the top and insert it into your other clients settings.
