Usage:
To use this repository, you will need to have Node.js and NPM installed on your machine. Once you have installed the necessary dependencies, you can clone the repository and run the following commands:
Deployment:
To deploy the application to production, you will need to sign up for accounts on the following services:
Vercel https://vercel.com - for server-less hosting.
Mux https://mux.com - for Videos storage.
Clerk https://clerk.com This is covered in the first hour or so of the video. It's the easiest authentication available and just works. It is so simple and easy to integrate into your app at least for me it is awesome. I've integrated it into my own Portfolio app https://github.com/kendevco/Portfolio https://folio.kendec.co.
MongoDB Atlas https://mongodb.com This project has deviated from Antonio's by using MongoDb.com. I've found it to be much more flexible for budding NextJS developers. I've created 7 free databases there so far and it is perfect for my needs. I had no problems modifying the schema for use with MongoDB and if you are looking for a project already adapted for Mongo - honestly the only changes were in the Schema! And Copilot did all the heavy lifting.
UploadThing https://uploadthing.com/ for serverless upload storage.
Stripe Payments: https://stripe.com
If you need further instruction on configuring these services, they are all covered in the course video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Big_aFLmekI.
To reset the database, run
npx prisma migrate reset
npx prisma db push
Note that when I ran npx prisma migrate reset against mongodb.com I ran into errors in the terminal stating I lacked permission. However, after running the command I did reinitialize the database.
Note also if reinitializing the datbase you also need to run: node scripts/seed.ts
