## Development
### Setup
1. Clone the repo into a public GitHub repository (or fork https://github.com/MarconLP/snapify/fork). If you plan to distribute the code, make sure to comply with our `LICENSE.md`.
```sh
git clone https://github.com/MarconLP/snapify.git
```
2. Go to the project folder
```sh
cd snapify
```
3. Install packages with npm
```sh
npm i
```
4. Set up your .env file
- Duplicate `.env.example` to `.env`
- Use `openssl rand -base64 32` to generate a key and add it under `NEXTAUTH_SECRET` in the .env file.
-
Fill in the other variables
Configure DATABASE_URL
1. Open [Railway](https://railway.app/) and click "Start a New Project", and select Provision "MySQL".
2. Select the MySQL App and copy the `DATABASE_URL` into the `.env`.
Obtaining the Github API Credentials
1. Open [Github Developer Settings](https://github.com/settings/apps).
2. Next, go to [OAuth Apps](https://github.com/settings/developers) from the side panel. Then click the "New OAuth App" button. Make sure to set `Authorization callback URL` to `/api/auth/callback/github` replacing Snapify URL with the URI at which your application runs.
3. Copy the `Client ID` as `GITHUB_ID` into the `.env`.
4. Next, click "Generate a new client secret" and copy the `Client secret` as `GITHUB_SECRET` into the `.env`.
Obtaining the AWS S3 API Credentials
1. Open [B2 Cloud Storage Buckets](https://secure.backblaze.com/b2_buckets.htm).
2. Create a new Bucket, make sure to set the bucket to private to make sure files are not being made publicly available.
3. Copy the `Endpoint` as `AWS_ENDPOINT` and the Bucket name as `AWS_BUCKET_NAME` into the `.env`. Additionally you need to add the `AWS_REGION`, which is part of the endpoint and should look like this: `us-east-005`.
4. Next, go to [Application Keys](https://secure.backblaze.com/app_keys.htm) from the side panel. Then create a new Application Key, with full read and write access to the bucket.
5. Copy the `keyID` as `AWS_KEY_ID` and the `applicationKey` as `AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY` into the `.env`.
5. Set up the database using the Prisma schema
```sh
npx prisma db push
```
6. Run (in development mode)
```sh
npm run dev
```
### E2E-Testing
Be sure to set the environment variable `NEXTAUTH_URL` to the correct value. If you are running locally, as the documentation within `.env.example` mentions, the value should be `http://localhost:3000`.
```sh
# In a terminal just run:
npm run test:e2e
```
