Getting Started
1. Clone and Install Dependencies
git clone https://git.sheetjs.com/asadbek064/BinCode.git
cd BinCode
pnpm install
2. Set Up Environment Variables
Create a .env file in the project root and define the following variables:
NODE_ENV=development
PORT=3000
JWT_SECRET=your-secure-secret-here
JWT_EXPIRES_IN=7d
3. Adding user
node addUser.js "user@email.com" "password"
4. Development server
Before starting the development server, ensure you change the Vue.js library import from _prod
to _dev
in index.html
.
pnpm dev
5. Production
Copy .env.example to .env and generate unique secret and cahnge NODE_ENV=production
- Copy .env.example to .env:
cp .env.example .env
-
Generate a unique secret and set NODE_ENV=production in the .env file.
-
Start the production server
pnpm start
5. Production
-
For development, using the
_dev
version of Vue.js (vue.global.js) is recommended as it includes debugging tools and warnings. -
For production, switch to the
_prod
version (vue.global.prod.js) to optimize performance.
