⚙️ Installation and Run Locally

Step 0:

Note ‼️ the application uses Convex for ORM, therefore, you need to create Convex account here and sets the CONVEX_DEPLOY_KEY and NEXT_PUBLIC_CONVEX_URL environment variables in .env file.

Note ‼️ the application uses Clerk for Authentication and User Management, therefore, you need to create Clerk account here and sets the CLERK_PUBLISHABLE_KEY and CLERK_SECRET_KEY environment variables in .env file.

Note ‼️ the application uses EdgeStore for file uploads, therefore, you need to create EdgeStore account here and sets the EDGE_STORE_ACCESS_KEY and EDGE_STORE_SECRET_KEY environment variables in .env file.

Also, you need to create a JWT template in Clerk and define the JWKS Endpoint as a provider inside convex/auth.config.js file.

Step 1:

Download or clone this repo by using the link below:

git clone https://github.com/mohammedmohsin203/Notion-Clone-7

Step 2:

Execute the following command in the root directory of the downloaded repo in order to install dependencies:

Step 4:

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

📜 Scripts

All scripts are defined in the package.json file. Here is a list of all scripts:

Script	Action
npm install	Installs dependencies
npm run dev	Starts local dev server at localhost:3000

CONVEX_DEPLOY_KEY=<CONVEX_DEPLOY_URL>
NEXT_PUBLIC_CONVEX_URL=<NEXT_PUBLIC_CONVEX_URL>

CLERK_PUBLISHABLE_KEY=<CLERK_PUBLISHABLE_KEY>
CLERK_SECRET_KEY=<CLERK_SECRET_KEY>

EDGE_STORE_ACCESS_KEY=<EDGE_STORE_ACCESS_KEY>
EDGE_STORE_SECRET_KEY=<EDGE_STORE_SECRET_KEY>
