# Portfolio



A portfolio designed for lazy developers all over the world. With little configuration and maintanince let this application automatically update itself without you having to lift a finger!



I speak at events, write blog posts, and maintain some libraries. I wanted to create a website that would showcase all of this, and I created this project to host my blog, display my repos from [GitHub](https://github.com) and show a [YouTube](https://youtube.com) playlist!



- My experience is pulled from [LinkedIn](https://linkedin.com) and is shown on [`/`](https://michaelsolati.com/).

- Blog posts I've written are hosted here and shown on [`/blog`](https://michaelsolati.com/blog).

- My most starred and recent GitHub repos are shown on [`/code`](https://michaelsolati.com/code).

- Recorded talks are fetched from a YouTube playlist and shown on the [`/videos`](https://michaelsolati.com/videos).



Almost all of this is configured from a few JSON files in [`src/_data`](src/_data).

## Getting Setup



We'll keep our first step simple and just run a `npm ci` command. You will also want `firebase-tools` installed as a global dependency on your machine. Just run the command `npm i -g firebase-tools` and be sure to sign into your Google account for the `firebase-tools` with the command `firebase login`.



### Configuration



Some basic details used for generating pages and fetching content on the site is found in the [`src/environment.ts`](src/environment.ts). Below is an interface explaining the site's data structure. If you don't want one of the optional fields, delete it.



```TypeScript

interface Environment {

  name: string; // Your name.

  shortName: string; // Short name for PWA.

  description: string; // A short description about yourself.

  code: {

    githubID: string; // Your GitHub handle.

  }

  videos: {

    youtubePlaylistID: string; // The YouTube Playlist ID to show.

  }

}

```



#### Blog



Blog posts are written in Markdown and stored in [`src/content/blog`](src/content/blog). The metadata is set in the Front Matter at the top of a Markdown file. Below is an example of what fields are supported and what they should look like.



```yaml

---

title: My Blog Post's Title

description: A description for this blog post.

pubDate: May 20 2024

hero: https://michaelsolati.com/hero.png

---

```



#### LinkedIn



I would like to automate this but LinkedIn makes it near impossible. Using this [Chrome extension](https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/caobgmmcpklomkcckaenhjlokpmfbdec). Generate a JSON and save the content in [`src/data/linkedin.json`](src/data/linkedin.json).



#### Firebase



This application takes advantage of Firebase for the use of its [Hosting](https://firebase.google.com/products/hosting). In the [Firebase console](https://console.firebase.google.com/) create a new application, and ensure that these features are enabled. Typically they would be enabled from the get-go, but you may want to check just in case.



Update the `.firebaserc` file in the root directory so that `projects.default` is assigned to your Project ID. The easiest way to do this is just to delete the file and run the command `firbase init` to assign it to your project.



#### YouTube



You will also need to enable the YouTube Data API v3 for your Firebase application, which [you can do here](https://console.developers.google.com/apis/library/youtube.googleapis.com/). Generate an API token for this and use set it as an environment variable called `YOUTUBE`. If you don't want to keep setting it you can set it once in a git ignored `.env` file.



## Let's Wind Up



With everything configured and data generated you can test the site by running:



```bash

npm run start

```



If everything looks good then we're ready to deploy to Firebase, run:



```bash

npm run build

firebase deploy

```



Enjoy!
