Local Development

  1. Clone the repository
  2. Install dependencies: npm install
  3. Set up your environment variables in .env
  4. Start the development server: npm run dev

Deploying to Vercel

This application is fully compatible with Vercel's serverless functions and can be deployed with a few simple steps:

  1. Create a Vercel Account: Sign up at https://vercel.com if you don't have an account.

  2. Install Vercel CLI: (Optional)

    npm install -g vercel

  3. Configure Environment Variables:

    • In the Vercel dashboard, go to your project settings.
    • Add all the environment variables from your .env file, including:
      • All social media API credentials
      • API_KEY for securing your API endpoints
      • DEEPSEEK_API_KEY and related variables

  4. Deploy:

    • Option 1: Connect your GitHub repo to Vercel for automatic deployments
    • Option 2: Use the Vercel CLI: bash vercel --prod
    • Option 3: Drag and drop your project folder to the Vercel dashboard

  5. After Deployment:

    • Vercel will automatically use the vercel.json configuration
    • API endpoints will be available at https://your-domain.vercel.app/api/social
    • The frontend will automatically connect to the correct API URL

Environment Variables

The application requires several environment variables for connecting to various social media platforms:

  • VITE_API_KEY: Secret key for securing API endpoints
  • VITE_API_URL: Base URL for the API (automatically set in Vercel)
  • Twitter credentials: VITE_TWITTER_API_KEY, VITE_TWITTER_API_SECRET, etc.
  • LinkedIn credentials: VITE_LINKEDIN_ACCESS_TOKEN, VITE_LINKEDIN_CLIENT_ID, etc.
  • Other platform credentials as defined in .env

Troubleshooting Vercel Deployment

  • 404 Errors: Make sure your API routes are correctly configured in vercel.json
  • Authentication Errors: Verify that API_KEY is set in your Vercel environment variables
  • Environment Variables: Ensure all necessary environment variables are properly set in Vercel
  • API Limits: Be aware of rate limits on various social media APIs

Development vs Production Mode

  • In development mode, the app uses mock data
  • In production, it makes real API calls to social media platforms
  • You can test actual API calls by setting VITE_IS_DEVELOPMENT=false in your environment variables
