- Fork the project
- Clone with
git clone https://github.com/YOUR_USERNAME/codu.git. - Navigate to the project directory
cd codu. - Install dependencies with:
npm install- If you have any issues installing dependencies, check your node version against that defined in the
.nvmrc. If you're usingnvm, you can runnvm usebefore installing dependencies.
- Create a
.envfile and add the following variables. You can copy the contents ofsample.envwithcat sample.env > .env.
# This default value is if you run our local docker-compose.yml file to create the database.
DATABASE_URL=postgresql://postgres:[email protected]:5432/postgres
# Setup your GitHub ID & Secret on GitHub: https://developer.github.com/apps/building-oauth-apps/authorizing-oauth-apps
# For development, make sure you set up this with a Homepage URL of http://localhost:3000/ and an Authorization callback URL of http://localhost:3000/api/auth
GITHUB_ID=YOUR_GITHUB_APP_ID
GITHUB_SECRET=YOUR_GITHUB_APP_SECRET
NEXTAUTH_URL=http://localhost:3000/api/auth
For a more detailed how to guide on setting them up go to the Environment Variables section.
- Make sure your database is running and setup the tables in the database with Prisma by running:
npm run db:push- Seed the database with some mock data by running:
npm run db:seed- Finally, run the development server:
npm run devAfter completion of above commands, now -
Navigate to http://localhost:3000 in your browser to see the result.
You can start your journey by modifying pages/index.tsx. With Auto-update feature, pages updates as you edit the file.
The pages/api directory is mapped to /api/*. Files in this directory are treated as API routes instead of React pages.
Learn more about API routes here.
The DATABASE_URL is a connection string to a PostgreSQL database (version 15.0).
By default, we point to a database running locally with Docker from our docker-compose.yml file.
To run this file, make sure you have Docker installed and that Docker is running.
Run the command docker compose up.
Alternatively, if you have PostgreSQL running locally then you can use your local connection string or grab one from a free service like Supabase.
Currently, we only allow authentication via GitHub. To enable this you need to have a GITHUB_ID and GITHUB_SECRET value.
Setup your GitHub ID & Secret on GitHub:
Shortcut - Click here to setup New OAuth App.
For development, make sure you setup this with a Homepage URL of http://localhost:3000/ and Authorization callback URL of http://localhost:3000/api/auth.
After you click the "Register application" button you should see the GITHUB_ID and be able to generate a new client secret. You can see this in the screenshot below. 👇
After generating the secret, make sure you copy this value to your .env file as this value can not be seen again once you refresh the page. 👇
In order to use Passwordless login locally you need to have a ACCESS_KEY and SECRET_KEY value.
Niall has written a tutorial on how to send emails with AWS SES and shows how to get these values.
Check out the example .env file here to see how to populate these values
Note: Currenly the AWS region of the SNS service is hardcoded to "eu-west-1" it may be necessary to change this if your SNS service is in a different region
You shouldn't need to change the default value here. This is a variable used by Next Auth as the authentication URL to your site.
NEXTAUTH_URL=http://localhost:3000/api/auth
For more information, you can read the documentation here. Example .env file can be found here. You can rename this to .env to get started
