You’ll need to have Node 10.16.0 or later version on your local development machine (but it’s not required on the server). I recommend using the latest LTS version.
Install the dependancies for this project.
cd portfolio
yarn installStart a Node development server.
yarn devThe application will open in your browser at http://localhost:3000
In this step, you will have to create an .env file at the root of the directory, so that you can provide your environment variables.
The environment variables you define here are used for Spotify's API. GitHub and Medium are open access so you don't have to worry about providing those values.
SPOTIFY_CLIENT_IDSPOTIFY_CLIENT_SECRETSPOTIFY_REFRESH_TOKEN
In order to learn more about spotify integration and how to generate these values, please head over to Spotify dashboard and create a new app.
Although, you don't have to provide environment variables for these two, you still will need to change their url so that they can point to your account.
You can make these changes inside the pages/api folder.
