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="" NEXT_PUBLIC_CLOUDINARY_API_KEY="" 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="" CLOUDINARY_API_KEY="" CLOUDINARY_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="" ``` #### 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 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 ``` ## Contributors
