Make it your own

You first need to get your Stelace API keys. Good news: it’s free.

1. Clone this repository

git clone https://github.com/stelace/heroes-platform-demo.git
cd heroes-platform-demo

2. Install node_modules

# using yarn instead of npm is recommended
yarn

If you don’t have yarn installed, you can follow these instructions.

3. Create environment files for development and production.

You can copy .env.example and fill it with Stelace API keys.

cp .env.example .env.development
# You may want to use live Stelace API keys in this file

You need to fill the following environment variables:

• STELACE_PUBLISHABLE_APIKEY (pubk...) used in Vue app
• STELACE_SECRET_APIKEY (seck...) used in data seeding scripts
• VUE_APP_MAPBOX_STYLE to activate the map. You can upload live demo dark map style with Maptiler and get a map style URL: https://api.maptiler.com/maps/YOUR_MAP_STYLE_ID/style.json?key=MAPTILER_KEY.

You can get your API Keys in Stelace Dashboard.
