👉 Get Started

Install dependencies

npm install

Update your .env file with values for each environment variable

API_KEY=AIzaSyBkkFF0XhNZeWuDmOfEhsgdfX1VBG7WTas
etc ...

Install the Vercel CLI

npm install -g vercel

Link codebase to a Vercel project and run development server

vercel dev

When the above command completes you'll be able to view your website at http://localhost:3000.

Note: You can run just the front-end with npm run start, but vercel dev also handles running your API endpoints (located in the /api directory).

📚 Guide

Routing

This project uses React Router and includes a convenient useRouter hook (located in src/util/router.js) that wraps React Router and gives all the route methods and data you need.

import { Link, useRouter } from "./../util/router.js";

function MyComponent() {
  // Get the router object
  const router = useRouter();

  // Get value from query string (?postId=123) or route param (/:postId)
  console.log(router.query.postId);

  // Get current pathname
  console.log(router.pathname);

  // Navigate with the <Link> component or with router.push()
  return (
    <div>
      <Link to="/about">About</Link>
      <button onClick={(e) => router.push("/about")}>About</button>
    </div>
  );
}

Authentication

This project uses Firebase Auth and includes a convenient useAuth hook (located in src/util/auth.js) that wraps Firebase and gives you common authentication methods. Depending on your needs you may want to edit this file and expose more Firebase functionality.

import { useAuth } from "./../util/auth.js";

function MyComponent() {
  // Get the auth object in any component
  const auth = useAuth();

  // Depending on auth state show signin or signout button
  // auth.user will either be an object, null when loading, or false if signed out
  return (
    <div>
      {auth.user ? (
        <button onClick={(e) => auth.signout()}>Signout</button>
      ) : (
        <button onClick={(e) => auth.signin("[e-mail]", "yolo")}>Signin</button>
      )}
    </div>
  );
}

Database

This project uses Cloud Firestore and includes some data fetching hooks to get you started (located in src/util/db.js). You'll want to edit that file and add any additional query hooks you need for your project.

import { useAuth } from './../util/auth.js';
import { useItemsByOwner } from './../util/db.js';
import ItemsList from './ItemsList.js';

function ItemsPage(){
  const auth = useAuth();

  // Fetch items by owner
  // Returned status value will be "idle" if we're waiting on
  // the uid value or "loading" if the query is executing.
  const uid = auth.user ? auth.user.uid : undefined;
  const { data: items, status } = useItemsByOwner(uid);

  // Once we have items data render ItemsList component
  return (
    <div>
      {(status === "idle" || status === "loading") ? (
        <span>One moment please</span>
      ) : (
        <ItemsList data={items}>
      )}
    </div>
  );
}

Deployment

Install the Vercel CLI

npm install -g vercel

Add each variable from your .env file to your Vercel project, including the ones prefixed with "REACT_APP_". You'll be prompted to enter its value and choose one or more environments (development, preview, or production). See Vercel Environment Variables to learn more about how this works, how to update values through the Vercel UI, and how to use secrets for extra security.

vercel env add plain VARIABLE_NAME

Run this command to deploy to a unique preview URL. Your "preview" environment variables will be used.

vercel

Run this command to deploy to your production domain. Your "production" environment variables will be used.

vercel --prod

See Vercel Deployments for more details.
