Photo Uploader Project (Frontend)

Please note - this is part of an open source project written by me, Joe Gilmore - you can read the full details of this project here joemore.com/photo-uploader-with-aws-serverless-nextjs-and-tailwind/

You will need the backend AWS service installed to run this project - you can find the backend code here Backend Repo

Photo Uploader Frontend

Repo: github.com/joemore/aws-serverless-photo-uploader-frontend-nextjs

First, run the development server (You might need to run yarn first to install dependencies):

yarn dev

Open http://localhost:3000 with your browser to see the result.

Linking up the Backend

This project requires you to create an AWS backend to handle the Cognito Auth pool, and the DynamoDB and S3 systems that handle the photo uploads.

You can find the backend code here Backend Repo - once you have deployed the backend to AWS, you will need to copy the .env.example file and rename it to .env.local and update the following values:

NEXT_PUBLIC_AWS_REGION=us-east-1
NEXT_PUBLIC_AWS_USER_POOL_ID=us-east-1_XXXXXXXXX
NEXT_PUBLIC_AWS_USER_POOL_WEB_CLIENT_ID=XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
NEXT_PUBLIC_AWSAPIENDPOINT=https://XXXXXXXX.execute-api.us-east-1.amazonaws.com/dev

Run yarn dev again and you should be able to login and start to upload photos.

Version 1.0.1 Update

1. Backend now uses AWS SDK Version 3
2. Frontend now paginates through the results using the new NextToken passed from the backend.

Version 1.0.2 Update
