CryptoTrader is a NextJS website that allows users to explore, buy, and sell cryptocurrencies. All currency data is pulled from the CoinGecko Crypto API.
CryptoTrader requires a number of React components to run. You can install them by running npm install in the root directory of the project. In case you want to install the dependencies manually, you will need the following (from package.json):
"axios": "^0.21.1",
"chart.js": "^2.9.4",
"crypto-js": "^4.0.0",
"firebase": "^8.6.3",
"firebase-admin": "^9.9.0",
"next": "10.2.3",
"next-auth": "^3.23.3",
"react": "17.0.2",
"react-chartjs-2": "^3.0.3",
"react-dom": "17.0.2",
"autoprefixer": "^10.2.5",
"tailwindcss": "^2.1.2"In order to access the database, you must have the credentials to authenticate yourself. You can do so by creating a .env file in the root directory, and a serviceAccountKey.json file in /utils/db/. These files can be populated from information from Firestore after logging into the Google account associated with this project.
Once you have the dependencies installed, you can start a development server by running npm run dev in a termainal. The development server will be accessible at http://localhost:3000. If you make changes to the code while the server is running, the site will automatically reload itself. This does not apply to API items in the /pages/api/ folder.
To run the buiild, run npm run build in your terminal.
