JAMstack Crash Course - Build a Fullstack App with React, Serverless, and FaunaDB

This is the source code for the JAMstack Crash Course video on YouTube. It uses FaunaDB (with GraphQL), Netlify, and React to build a fullstack Link Saver application. By the end of the video, you will have a fully deployed application you can include on your portfolio and share with your friends.

demo

This project was bootstrapped with Create React App.

How to Run

In the project directory, you can run:

netlify dev

To run this app locally, you'll need to install the netlify-cli using npm install -g netlify-cli. The React app and the serverless functions will be served at http://localhost:8888.

You'll also need to add a .env file in the root directory and include FAUNA_SECRET_KEY=<your secret key>

npm run build

Builds the app for production to the build folder.
It correctly bundles React in production mode and optimizes the build for the best performance.

The build is minified and the filenames include the hashes.
Your app is ready to be deployed!

See the section about deployment for more information.

Deployment

You can connect your repository to Netlify for Contiuous Integration deployments. In the Netlify deploy configuration, tell Netlify to run npm run build as the command and then serve the build directory.

You'll also need to add FAUNA_SECRET_KEY environment variable inside of Netlify dashboard.
