About Me Portfolio

A personal portfolio website with a serverless endpoint for my vercel deployment (similar to next.js where each file behaves as an http endpoint)

Structure

This project consists of two main parts:

1. Frontend: A React application built with Vite and TailwindCSS
2. API: A simple serverless function for handling contact form submissions

Development

To run the frontend locally:

cd frontend
npm install
npm run dev

If you’re not using Next.js, but just want to test Vercel-like serverless functions:

You'll need the Vercel CLI:

npm i -g vercel
vercel dev

This simulates the Vercel environment, allowing you to run serverless functions locally

Deployment

This project is configured for deployment on Vercel:

1. The frontend is built using the Vercel Static Build configuration
2. The API contact form is handled by a serverless Node.js function

Environment Variables

The following environment variables need to be set in Vercel:

• GMAIL_USER: Gmail address for sending contact form emails
• GMAIL_PASS: App password for Gmail (required if using 2FA)
