Rich Money Blogs

A simple blog app built with Next.js 14, MongoDB, Tailwind CSS, TypeScript, and JWT.

Technologies

• Next.js 14
• MongoDB
• Tailwind CSS
• TypeScript
• JWT
• Flowbite
• Nodemailer

Getting Started

• First install the dependencies:

npm install

• Then, run the development server:

npm run dev

• You can now access the app at http://localhost:3000

Important

• If you try to deploy on production, make sure to set the JWT_SECRET environment variable in the .env file.

  • Otherwise the app will use a default secret that is not secure.

• The app uses MongoDB to store the users.

  • Make sure to create a blog database (using the provided script) on your MongoDB instance and add the MONGODB_URI environment variable to your .env file.
  • The MONGODB_URI should point to the URI of your MongoDB instance.
  • If you don't have a MongoDB instance, you can use the free tier of MongoDB Atlas or run one via Docker.
