Frontend Masters

This is a companion repo for the Build an AI Powered Fullstack App with Next.js, v3 course on Frontend Masters. This application is built from scratch throughout the course. The main branch contains a final version of the application similar to the one built in the course. The other branches in the repo are code checkpoints which can be used as a starting point for specific lessons.

Getting Started

The course covers the full process of building and deploying the application. The steps below summarize a few of the key requirements.

Create a new Next.js Project

We recommend using Node version 18.x.x and Next.js version 13.4.5 for this course.

npx [email protected] mood
npm run dev

Install Clerk

Clerk is the third-party authentication provider for the application

npm i @clerk/nextjs

Add Clerk secrets to .env.local
