This is a Next.js project bootstrapped with create-next-app.

Getting Started

First, run the development server:

npm run dev
# or
yarn dev

Open http://localhost:3000 with your browser to see the result.

You can start editing the page by modifying pages/index.js. The page auto-updates as you edit the file.

API routes can be accessed on http://localhost:3000/api/hello. This endpoint can be edited in pages/api/hello.js.

The pages/api directory is mapped to /api/*. Files in this directory are treated as API routes instead of React pages.

Setup Local Environment

You need to setup a few API keys for this project to be setup correctly otherwise you won't see any videos.

For that, you need to create a .env.local file in your project as shown in docs that will look like this:

NEXT_PUBLIC_HASURA_ADMIN_URL=<REPLACE THIS>
JWT_SECRET=<REPLACE THIS>
NEXT_PUBLIC_HASURA_ADMIN_SECRET=<REPLACE THIS>
MAGIC_SERVER_KEY=<REPLACE THIS>
NEXT_PUBLIC_MAGIC_PUBLISHABLE_API_KEY=<REPLACE THIS>
YOUTUBE_API_KEY=<REPLACE THIS>

You can retrieve the above environment values by referring their docs linked above and once retrieved, paste above accordingly.

_ Important: Videos from Youtube _

During local development, we recommend you to add the environment variable DEVELOPMENT=true as that won't fetch videos from the Youtube API and instead access it from data/videos.json. Youtube API does have a quota and this way you can continue doing local development without worrying about running out of API calls.
