Development environment


  1. Create a GitHub access token with repository access
  2. Create .env.local at the root with:
USE_SERVER_CACHE=1
PRINT_SERVER_CACHE_LOG=1
# NEXT_PUBLIC_API_BASE=http://localhost:3000/api
NEXT_PUBLIC_API_TOKEN=
NEXT_PUBLIC_CRONITOR_CLIENT_ID=
GITHUB_TOKEN=
  1. Add necessary tokens:

    • USE_SERVER_CACHE must contain a 1 to use the server's memory cache. Caching will be disabled in development otherwise
    • PRINT_SERVER_CACHE_LOG must contain 1 to print the server cache log. This can be exhaustive, so it may be worth disabling
    • GITHUB_TOKEN should have access to github.com/chalet-org/chalet
    • NEXT_PUBLIC_API_TOKEN can be anything while in the development environment. It just ensures the api can only be used by the website itself.
    • NEXT_PUBLIC_CRONITOR_CLIENT_ID is optional - it's used for basic site analytics in production (page visits & downloads)
    • NEXT_PUBLIC_API_BASE is optional. It falls back to http://localhost:3000/api
  2. run:

pnpm run install
pnpm run start
  1. Test GITHUB_TOKEN by going to localhost:3000/api/schema/latest/settings-json (this is a public endpoint)

To test for production


Instead of pnpm run start, run pnpm run build && pnpm run serve
