This is the starter template for the Next.js App Router Course. It contains the starting code for the dashboard application.

For more information, see the course curriculum on the Next.js Website.

Note on Authentication Environment Variables in Chapter 15

• The AUTH_SECRET environment variable should be NEXTAUTH_SECRET.
  Generate it with openssl rand -base64 32, and add it on vercel.com in Project Settings > Environment Variables. Afterwards, redeploy the project to activate it.
  For development, add it in the .env file:

  NEXTAUTH_SECRET=LFl+yQ7JSSwnr+CnKr13vVerDhuL5e/Nrr3hq8L4OUE=
  

  Make sure .env is in .gitignore, so it is not uploaded to Github!

• The AUTH_URL environment variable should be NEXTAUTH_URL.
  It is not required when Automatically expose System Environment Variables is checked on vercel.com in Project Settings > Environment Variables, which is the default! Neither is it required in development.

Test authentication credentials

• Email: user@nextmail.com
• Password: 123456

Running the project locally

• Clone this repo, and cd into it in your terminal:

  git clone https://github.com/davidde/dashboard_nextjs.git
  cd dashboard_nextjs
  

• (If you don't have pnpm installed, you can install it globally by running:)

  npm install -g pnpm
  

  This same command is used to update pnpm.
  (pnpm itself will tell you to update with pnpm add -g pnpm, but this will not work when pnpm is installed with npm, so just update with npm.)
• Run pnpm i to install the project's packages:

  pnpm i
  

• Then run pnpm dev to start the development server:

  pnpm dev
  

  pnpm dev starts the Next.js development server on port 3000, so open http://localhost:3000 in the browser.
