This is a simple Instagram clone that uses Appwrite as the backend and Cordova as the frontend.

## Getting Started

### Prerequisites

- [Node.js](https://nodejs.org/en/download/) installed

- An [Appwrite](https://appwrite.io/) server running

### Installing

Clone the repository

```bash

git clone https://github.com/arnu515/instagram-clone-with-cordova-appwrite

```

Install the dependencies

```bash

npm install  # or yarn install

```

### Initializing Appwrite

Install the Appwrite CLI

```bash

npm i -g appwrite

appwrite login

```

In your Appwrite console, create a project with the name `Instantgram` and the id `instantgram`

Create a database with the name `Instantgram` and the id `instantgram`

Run the command to create collections and functions

```bash

appwrite deploy collection  # Select all collections (press a)

appwrite deploy function    # Select all fucntions (press a)

```

Create a new API key in your console and head to functions.

In all the functions over there, add these two variables:

```bash

# change if needed

APPWRITE_FUNCTION_ENDPOINT=http://localhost/v1

APPWRITE_FUNCTION_API_KEY=secret_key_you_just_created

```

### Set up the project

Create a file called `.env` with the following contents

```bash

# replace with your appwrite server's endpoint

VITE_APPWRITE_ENDPOINT=http://localhost/v1

# don't change.

VITE_APPWRITE_PROJECT_ID=instantgram

```

### Run the project (electron)

```bash

# build frontend

yarn build

# run electron

npx cordova run electron --nobuild

```
