A simple image generator application written in React and Typescript. The app creates unique images based on provided text description using OpenAI API (DALL-E model).
To use the app, you have to sign up to the OpenAI platform for an API key. Currently, you will receive $5 credit that you can use during 3-month trial period. After the trial or spending your entire credit, you will have to pay for the service based on the size of generated image. You can find more info about current pricing.

make sure that Node.js is installed as DALL-E uses NPM (Node Package Manager). Check it's version via command in console:
node -v- go to your local project directory in console and install all packages:
npm i
# or
yarn
# or
pnpm i- open the project in your editor
- add new .env file to the project root directory with following content:
API_KEY="your-api-key-taken-from-OpenAI"- add
.envto .gitignore file
The API key setup in .env file is just to use the app locally. In the case if you will use the Vercel or another deployment platform, you will have an option to set the API_KEY as an environment variable in the project settings and use it instead.
