Installation

Note: If using VSCode, it is important to install the vscode_deno extension from the Extensions page in the text editor. (deno docs)

Once the extension is installed, run the following command to interact with the application as you are programming:

deno run --allow-net --allow-read --allow-env --watch main.ts

If completions aren't working, ensure you have a .env file formatted like so:

API_KEY=...

Authentication Setup

This application uses GitHub OAuth for authentication. To set it up:

1. Go to GitHub.com and sign in
2. Navigate to Settings > Developer settings > OAuth Apps
3. Click "New OAuth App"
4. Fill in the application details:
   • Application name: "Privacy Policy Summarizer"
   • Homepage URL: http://localhost:8000
   • Authorization callback URL: http://localhost:8000/oauth/callback
5. Click "Register application"
6. Copy the Client ID
7. Generate and copy a new Client Secret
8. Create a .env file in the project root:

   REDIRECT_URI=
   GOOGLE_SCOPE=
   GOOGLE_CLIENT_ID=
   GOOGLE_CLIENT_SECRET=
   API_KEY=

For production deployment, set these environment variables in your hosting platform instead of using a .env file.
