My personal website used to display blog posts, portfolio items, and some other random things. The site is hosted on Netlify and is easily updated with Netlify's continuous deployment system.
The information for the API used to display the recent github activity is found in this repository.
To develop the application locally, first clone the repository.
$ git clone [email protected]:robertcoopercode/personal-website.gitNext, install the project dependencies using yarn.
Now you can run yarn dev to automatically watch and compile assets, start a local Express server at localhost:8080, and start a Lambda functions server at localhost:9000. The Express server is setup to proxy Lambda function requests to localhost:9000.
In order to run the API calls in the app, an .env file will need to be created with all of the appropriate keys & values. The .env.example contains all the environment variable keys.
Deploying to production is as easy as pushing local changes to Github's master branch on the repository 🙌.
