Working Locally

Installation

This project is using pnpm as a way to manage dependencies and workspaces.

With the project cloned, install the dependencies from the root of the project with:

pnpm install

Configuration

To work on the project, you need to have an active Cloudinary account. With the account, configure a .env.local file inside of docs with:

NEXT_PUBLIC_CLOUDINARY_CLOUD_NAME="<Your Cloudinary Cloud Name>"
NEXT_PUBLIC_CLOUDINARY_API_KEY="<Your Cloudinary API Key>"
CLOUDINARY_API_SECRET="<Your Cloudinary API Secret>"

Note: The Cloudinary account can be free, but some features may not work beyond free tier like Background Removal

The Cloud Name is required for all usage, where the API Key and Secret currently is only used for Upload Widget usage. The Upload Preset is additionally used for the Upload Widgets.

Uploading Example Images

In order to run the Docs project, you need to have the images referenced available inside of your Cloudinary account.

To do this, navigate to the scripts directory and first create a new .env file with:

CLOUDINARY_CLOUD_NAME="<Your Cloudinary Cloud Name>"
CLOUDINARY_API_KEY="<Your API Key>"
CLOUDINARY_API_SECRET="<Your API Secret>"

Then run the upload script with:

pnpm upload

By default, the images inside of scripts/images.json will be uploaded to the "images" directory inside of your Cloudinary account. To change the location, add the CLOUDINARY_IMAGES_DIRECTORY environment variable with your preferred directory:

CLOUDINARY_IMAGES_DIRECTORY="<Your Directory>"

Running the Project

Once installed and configured, open two terminal tabs, navigating one to next-cloudinary and one to docs, running the following command in each:

pnpm dev

The project will now be available at https://localhost:3000 or the configured local port.

Running Tests

All tests are located inside of next-cloudinary/tests with a directory structure that should reflect next-cloudinary/src.

While inside next-cloudinary, run tests with:

pnpm test
