Docker Commands

2) RUN IMAGE: docker run -t -p 3000:3000 developerfolio:latest

Update src/portfolio.js for your personal data. Customize portfolio theme by using your own color scheme globally in the src/_globalColor.scss file.

Linking Portfolio to GitHub

Generate a classic GitHub personal access token following these instructions (make sure you don't select any scope just generate a simple token). If you are using GitHub Actions to deploy your portfolio you can skip this section.

1. Create a file called .env in the root directory of your project (if not done already in section: How To Use)

Note: Configuring environment variables before deploying your portfolio is highly recommended as some components depend on API data.

- DeveloperFolio
  - node_modules
  - public
  - src
  - .env         <-- create it here
  - env.example  <-- this is the base file
  - .gitignore
  - package-lock.json
  - package.json

2. Inside the .env file, add key REACT_APP_GITHUB_TOKEN and assign your GitHub token like this, also add your username as GITHUB_USERNAME

// .env
REACT_APP_GITHUB_TOKEN = "YOUR GITHUB TOKEN HERE"
GITHUB_USERNAME = "YOUR GITHUB USERNAME"
USE_GITHUB_DATA = "true"

Set showGithubProfile to true or false to show Contact Profile using GitHub, defaults to false.

Warning: Treat your tokens like passwords and keep them secret. When working with the API, use tokens as environment variables instead of hardcoding them into your programs.

Note: Open Source Projects section only show pinned items of your GitHub. If you are seeing something as shown below, follow these instructions.

If the project list is blank, visit the wiki page.

Linking blogs section to Medium

Optionally, you can link the blogs section to your medium user account:

• Inside the .env file, add key MEDIUM_USERNAME and assign your Medium username

// .env
MEDIUM_USERNAME = "YOUR MEDIUM USERNAME"

• For Github Action, change the environment variable MEDIUM_USERNAME in .github/workflows/deploy.yml

Set displayMediumBlogs to true or false in portofolio.js to display fetched Medium blogs, defaults to true.

Change and customize every section according to your need.

Personalize page content in /src/portfolio.js & modify it as per your need. You will also need to modify index.html to change the title and metadata to provide accurate SEO for your personal portfolio.

Using Emojis

For adding emoji 😃 into the texts in Portfolio.js, use the emoji() function and pass the text you need as an argument. This would help in keeping emojis compatible across different browsers and platforms.

Customize Lottie Animations

You can choose a Lottie and download it in json format from from sites like this. In src/assets/lottie, replace the Lottie json file you want to alter with the same file name. If you want to change the Lottie options, go to src/components/displayLottie/DisplayLottie.js and change the defaultOptions object, you can refer react-lottie docs for more info on the defaultOptions object.

Adding Twitter Time line to your Page

Insert your Twitter username in portfolio.js to show your recent activity on your page.

Note: Don't use @ symbol when adding username.

Deployment

When you are done with the setup, you should host your website online. We highly recommend to read through the Deploying on GitHub Pages docs for React.

Configuring GitHub Actions (Recommended)

First you should enable, GitHub Actions for the repository you use.

The Profile and the Repository information from GitHub is only created at the time of deploy and the site needs to be redeployed if those information needs to be updated. So, a configurable CRON Job is setup which deploys your site every week, so that once you update your profile on GitHub it is shown on your portfolio. You can also trigger it manually using workflow_dispatch event, see this guide on how to do that.

• When you are done with the configuration, we highly recommend to read through the GitHub Actions Configuring a workflow docs.

Deploying to GitHub Pages

This section guides you to deploy your portfolio on GitHub pages.

• Navigate to package.json and enter your domain name instead of https://developerfolio.js.org/ in homepage variable. For example, if you want your site to be https://<your-username>.github.io/developerFolio, add the same to the homepage section of package.json.

• In short you can also add /devloperFolio to package.json as both are exactly same. Upon doing so, you tell create-react-app to add the path assets accordingly.

• Optionally, configure the domain. You can configure a custom domain with GitHub Pages by adding a CNAME file to the public/ folder.

• Follow through the guide to setup GitHub pages from the official CRA docs here.
