## Usage
`nxt-lnk` template used to create your custom bio link and self-host on Vercel or Netlify using your own domain. Need little understanding of code :) ☕

Usually, you don't need to worry a lot about coding if you're just updating information in `BioData.js` and `LinkData.js`. To deep dive know more [Next.js](https://nextjs.org/docs) and [React](https://reactjs.org/docs/getting-started.html) official documentaion.

For customization used [styled components](https://styled-components.com/). If you want to customize styling you can [learn more here](https://styled-components.com/docs).

**Template auto support dark-mode depending on system cofig.**

## Quick Start
[![Deploy with Vercel](https://vercel.com/button)](https://vercel.com/import/git?s=https://github.com/realvjy/nxt-lnk) [![Deploy to Netlify](https://www.netlify.com/img/deploy/button.svg)](https://app.netlify.com/start/deploy?repository=https://github.com/realvjy/nxt-lnk)

## Manual Setup
Run the following command to create a new project with this template:
```bash
yarn create next-app your-app-name -e https://github.com/realvjy/nxt-lnk
# or
npx create-next-app your-app-name -e https://github.com/realvjy/nxt-lnk
```

## Getting Started

Use any editor to work on editing. I use [vscode](https://code.visualstudio.com/)

First, run the development server:
```bash
npm run dev
# or
yarn dev
```

Open [http://localhost:3000](http://localhost:3000) with your browser to see the result.

**Important files to edit or update info**
`data/BioData.js` All basic info update here
`data/LinksData.js` Contain all the links
`Components/WebLinks.js` UI and stylesheet
`Components/icons/index.js` Contain all SVG icon compo

You can start editing the page by modifying `data/BioData.js` and `data/LinksData.js`. The page auto-updates as you edit the file.

## Images
All images stored inside `public` folder of the project.

## Update Bio
**Example from** `BioData.js` :
```jsx
const bioData = [
{
name: 'vijay verma',
username: '@realvjy',
url: 'https://vjy.me',
titleImg: true,
avatar: '/avatar.png',
nftAvatar: true,
description: 'A short description/bio about you goes here',
subdesc: 'This is secondary description. If you do not need, you can remove it',
newProductUrl: 'https://vjy.me/lnk',
newProduct: true,
},
];

export default bioData;
```
**Avatar**
Just replace `avatar.png`. 200x200px will be good.

**Hex/NFT avatar view**
`nftAvatar: true` enable hex shape on avatar image.
`nftAvatar: false` made it in oval shape.

**Title**
By default `titleImg: true` and it look for `title.svg`. Replace svg with logo **logo**. Make sure to use `title.svg ` name.

**Featured banner**
`newProductUrl` and `newProduct` used for getting featured banner. You can replace the image `newproduct.png` with any design you like.

`newProduct: true` show banner. Default is `true` make it false to hide.

## Update Links
**Example from** `LinksData.js` :
```jsx
const webLinks = [
// All social profile
{
title: 'Twitter',
url: 'https://twitter.com/realvjy',
type: 'social',
icon: '/twitter.svg',
on: true
},
...
...

{
title: 'Instagram',
url: 'https://instagram.com/realvjy',
type: 'social',
icon: '/insta.svg',
on: true
}
];
export default webLinks;
```
**Enable/Disable Social Media**
Find `type: social` and change `on:true|false`

| Title | on (default) |
| --------- | -------- |
| `Twitter` | `true` |
| `Instagram` | `true` |
| `Dribbble` | `false` |
| `Medium` | `false` |
| `Github` | `true` |
| `Youtube` | `false` |
| `Behance` | `true` |
| `Figma` | `true` |
| `Linkedin` | `false` |
| `Mastodon` | `false` |
| `Hive Social` | `false` |
| `Post.news` | `false` |

Setting `on: true` show the social icon.
The social media icons are arranged in a single row at the top of the page below description. If you want to use as list, chagne type to `type: 'other'`

**Add new Social Media link**
create a new block by copying this
```jsx
{
title: 'Social Name',
url: 'https://link.com/whateverurl',
type: 'social',
icon: '/newiconname.svg',
on: true
}
```
Update all info and make sure to add a `newiconname.svg` file in [public](#images) folder.
Then you have to add new section to frontend `components/WebLinks.js`

## Frontend
All frontend customization done inside `components/WebLinks.js`. If you wante to update and add new section just look this file and update according to your need.

**Update section**

Look for Section codes. Like if you want to change `install` type to `featured` Update the `type: 'featured'` in `LinkData.js` then update all `install` related code in `WebLinks.js` to `featured`

```js
// Collect all links filter by type - social, project, nft and other etc=
// get data for install section
const install = allLinks.filter((el) => {
return el.type === "install" && el.on
});

...
...

{/* Featured Section */ }

{install[0].type}


{
install.map((i) => {
return (


{i.title}


)
})
}

{/* End Featured Section */ }
```
**Add New section**

Add new section with specific `type` in `Linkdata.js`. Then copy `LinkSection` Code to create new section in `WebLinks.js` file. Make sure to create get data of that section as well.

## SEO
Already added `next-seo`. All you have to do is `update next-seo.config.js` file. Make sure to add direct link of `preview.jpg`file, like - `https://vjy.me/preview.jpg`.

## Google Analytics
In Vercel, you can set this by going to your project, then Settings and finally [Environments Variables](https://vercel.com/docs/concepts/projects/environment-variables). To get GA 4 code `G-ZXX0000XXX` follow [these steps ](https://support.google.com/analytics/answer/9304153?hl=en)

## Custom Domain
By default vercel give you a subdomain with your project name like - [nxtlnk.vercel.app](https:nxtlnk.vercel.app). But you can add own domain.

Vercel/Netlify give you option to add any domain to the deployed project like [vjy.me/lnk](https://vjy.me/lnk) or [nxtlnk.xyz](https://nxtlnk.xyz). All you have to do is follow official [Vercel documentaion](https://vercel.com/docs/concepts/projects/domains/add-a-domain) or [Netlify Documentaion](https://www.netlify.com/blog/2021/12/20/how-to-add-custom-domains-to-netlify-sites/)

## Favicon
Create a `favicon.ico` file and place inside `public` folder. I use [favicon.io](https://favicon.io/favicon-converter/)
