-This is a [Next.js](https://nextjs.org/) project bootstrapped
-with [`create-next-app`](https://github.com/vercel/next.js/tree/canary/packages/create-next-app).
+# yappi frontend
 
-## Getting Started
+This is the UI for the yappi project and was bootstrapped with [`create-next-app`](https://github.com/vercel/next.js/tree/canary/packages/create-next-app).
 
-First, run the development server:
+### 🚀 Getting Started
+
+##### First, clone the repository to your local machine:
+
+```bash
+git clone https://github.com/24FSIIT16/dear-dev-frontend.git
+```
+
+##### Install the Dependencies:
+
+```bash
+npm install
+```
+
+##### Run the Development Server:
 
 ```bash
 npm run dev
-# or
-yarn dev
-# or
-pnpm dev
-# or
-bun dev
 ```
 
 Open [http://localhost:3000](http://localhost:3000) with your browser to see the result.
 
-You can start editing the page by modifying `app/page.tsx`. The page auto-updates as you edit the file.
+### 🔒 Setup authentication
 
-This project uses [`next/font`](https://nextjs.org/docs/basic-features/font-optimization) to automatically optimize and
-load Inter, a custom Google Font.
+Authentication is done using [Auth.js](https://authjs.dev/) (NextAuth).
 
-## Deploy to Server
+Follow the Auth.js getting-started guide for creating an auth secret: [Getting Started](https://authjs.dev/getting-started/installation)
 
-### Make sure to replace your_password_here with your actual password (for db).
+At the moment, the project only supports Github and Google authentication.
+Follow the Auth.js providers guide for setting up GitHub and Google OAuth providers:
 
-echo "POSTGRES_USER=user_name_here" >> .env
-echo "POSTGRES_PASSWORD=your_password_here" >> .env
+- [GitHub](https://authjs.dev/getting-started/authentication/oauth)
+- [Google](https://authjs.dev/getting-started/authentication/oauth)
 
-### Set File Permissions: Set the file permissions to restrict access:
+To setup authentication, you need to create a `.env.local` file in the root directory and add the following environment variables:
 
-chmod 600 .env
+```bash
+# Auth.js
+AUTH_SECRET=your_auth_secret
+AUTH_TRUST_HOST=TRUE
+AUTH_URL=http://localhost:3000
+
+# Providers
+AUTH_GITHUB_ID=your_github_id
+AUTH_GITHUB_SECRET=your_github_secret
+AUTH_GOOGLE_ID=your_google_id
+```
 
-### create file & copy the docker-compose.yml from .github/workflows/docker-compose.yml into home/yappi
+To use the authentication in the project, you need to use the application with the yappi backend. This is because of the used Database Adapter [PostgeSQL Adapter](https://authjs.dev/getting-started/adapters/pg).
 
-### run container..
+Have a look at: `auth.ts`file in the project to see how the authentication is implemented.
 
-docker-compose up -d
+### 💾 Setup API, Database and Backend
 
-### stop & remove all containers
+If the yappi UI is used in conjunction with the yappi backend you need to add the following environment variables to the `.env.local` file:
 
-docker stop $(docker ps -a -q)
-docker rm $(docker ps -a -q)
+```bash
+# yappi DB
+DATABASE_HOST=localhost
+DATABASE_PORT=5432
+DATABASE_NAME=yappi_db
+DATABASE_USER=yappi_db_admin
+DATABASE_PASSWORD=your_db_password
+
+# JWT Secret, use the same in the backend
+JWT_SECRET=your_jwt_secret
+
+# API URL
+NEXT_PUBLIC_API_URL=http://localhost:8080
+```
+
+If you made changes in the backend regarding databse or ports, you need to adjust the environment variables accordingly.
+
+### 📊 Setup Github Contribution Graph
+
+To combine your tracked happiness data with code contributions from github, you need to add the following environment variables to the `.env.local` file:
 
-### remove all images
+```bash
+NEXT_PUBLIC_GITHUB_TOKEN=your_personal_github_token
+```
+
+To create a personal acces token, follow the guide: [Creating a personal access token](https://docs.github.com/en/github/authenticating-to-github/creating-a-personal-access-token)
+Minimal scope of the token: `read:user`
 
-docker rmi $(docker images -q)
+##### Start the project with docker-compose:
+
+```bash
+docker compose up -d
+```
+
+**Attention:** You have to change the .env file to .env.local in the `docker-compose.yml` file.
+This will build the project and start it in a docker container, that includes the database as well. The project will be running on `http://localhost:3000`.
+
+If you want to change for example the database name, you can do so in the `docker-compose.yml` file.
+
+### 🛟 Usefull Docker Commands
+
+List all running container:
+
+```bash
+docker ps
+```
+
+Clean and remove docker images / container
+
+```bash
+sudo docker stop $(sudo docker ps -q)  true
+sudo docker rm $(sudo docker ps -a -q)  true
+sudo docker image rm $(sudo docker images -q) || true
+```
+
+View logs of the running container:
+
+```bash
+docker logs -f <container_id>
+```
+
+Delete docker volumes:
+
+```bash
+docker volumne prune -f
+```
 
-### remove all volumes
+### 📦 Built With
 
-docker volume rm $(docker volume ls -q)
