# Hack Club Theme Starter



A sample [Next.js] project for getting started with [MDX], [Theme UI], & [Hack Club Theme].



[![Deploy with Vercel](https://vercel.com/button)](https://vercel.com/import/git?s=https%3A%2F%2Fgithub.com%2Fhackclub%2Ftheme-starter&repo-name=theme-project)



[next.js]: https://nextjs.org

[mdx]: https://mdxjs.com

[theme ui]: https://theme-ui.com

[hack club theme]: https://github.com/hackclub/theme



## Usage



1. Import this repo to your coding environment of choice. Download it, `git clone`, or use the GitHub import on Glitch/Repl.it.

2. `yarn` to install dependencies.

3. `yarn dev` to start your server.

4. Start adding your own pages & components in their respective directories.



## Configuration



### Theme switcher



We’ve included an example theme switcher component at `components/color-switcher.js`,

which is included on every page through its inclusion in `pages/_app.js`.

Feel free to change it.



### Hack Club fonts



If you’re making a Hack Club HQ project, you’re allowed to use Hack Club’s font,

[Phantom Sans](https://www.futurefonts.xyz/phantom-foundry/phantom-sans).

To load it, simply uncomment the `import '@hackclub/theme/fonts/reg-bold.css'`

line in `_app.js`.



### Custom theme



By default, the raw [Hack Club Theme](https://theme.hackclub.com) will be used.

If you’d like to edit the theme, we recommend making a theme file (perhaps at

`lib/theme.js`) along these lines:



```js

import base from '@hackclub/theme'



const theme = base



// theme.fontSizes = […]

// theme.fonts.heading = ''



export default theme

```



### Running at another port



Super easy: `yarn dev -p 5000`



### Adding meta tags



These template includes [@hackclub/meta](https://github.com/hackclub/theme/tree/main/packages/meta)

for adding meta tags to Hack Club HQ sites. To set default meta tags across all pages,

add the following to `pages/_app.js`:



```js

// import Head from 'next/head'

// import Meta from '@hackclub/meta'



```



If you’re not making a site for HQ, don’t use `@hackclub/meta`, since it adds

Hack Club’s favicons & info. Instead, we recommend making your own component,

perhaps at `components/meta.js`.



Example code



```js

import Head from 'next/head'

import theme from '@hackclub/theme' // or '../lib/theme'



export default ({

  name = 'Your Company',

  title = 'Your Project',

  description = '',

  image = 'https://yourproject.vercel.app/card.png',

  url = 'https://yourproject.vercel.app/'

}) => (

  

    {title}

    

    

    

    

    

    

    

    

    

    

    

    

    

  

)

```



### Adding analytics



Hack Club HQ uses (& loves) [Fathom Analytics](https://usefathom.com/ref/NXBJA2)

for simple, privacy-focused analytics. ([Check out our site’s analytics here.](https://app.usefathom.com/share/ogimjefa/hackclub.com))



To add Fathom to your project, `yarn add fathom-client`, then you’ll need to

load it appropriately in `pages/_app.js`. The script is located at

.



Example file with Fathom



```js

import React, { useEffect } from 'react'

import { useRouter } from 'next/router'

import NextApp from 'next/app'

import Head from 'next/head'



import Meta from '@hackclub/meta'

import '@hackclub/theme/fonts/reg-bold.css'

import theme from '../lib/theme'

import { ThemeProvider } from 'theme-ui'

import * as Fathom from 'fathom-client'



const App = ({ Component, pageProps }) => {

  const router = useRouter()



  useEffect(() => {

    Fathom.load('YOURCODE', {

      includedDomains: ['hackclub.com'],

      url: 'https://aardvark.hackclub.com/script.js'

    })

    const onRouteChangeComplete = () => Fathom.trackPageview()

    router.events.on('routeChangeComplete', onRouteChangeComplete)

    return () => {

      router.events.off('routeChangeComplete', onRouteChangeComplete)

    }

  }, [])



  return (

    

      

      

    

  )

}



export default App

```
