## Setup Guide
Full setup instructions video available [here](https://roadmap.vote/setupvideo)

### Step 1: Setup backend template
The backend for the roadmap app is setup on Firebase and managed via Rowy which is a lowcode platform for Firebase. Rowy gives you a Table UI to manage your the data for your roadmap app along with getting all the backend cloud functions for managing the roadmap app setup in one click.

_Don't worry if you are not familiar with Firebase, Rowy will guide you through the entire process._

1. Create an account on [Rowy](https://www.rowy.io?utm_source=github&utm_campaign=readme&utm_medium=roadmap) and create a workspace for the Roadmap app
2. Create a new project by connecting it to Firebase - step by step video
3. Create a new table from "Roadmap app" template
4. Now you can manage your app’s data on Rowy’s CMS for Firestore. Add the initial set of data to be displayed on the roadmap app i.e. your product’s features list, their description, target release date, category etc.

### Step 2: Setup frontend template
Deploy the roadmap app’s frontend to Vercel using the deploy button. Add the following environment variables. Instructions on how to configure them are available on the GitHub repo.

#### One click deploy to Vercel 👇

[![Deploy with Vercel](https://vercel.com/button)](https://vercel.com/new/clone?repository-url=https%3A%2F%2Fgithub.com%2Frowyio%2Froadmap&env=CLIENT_FIREBASE_WEB_API_KEY,SERVER_FIREBASE_SERVICE_ACCOUNT,SESSION_SECRET,COLLECTION,TABLE_ID&project-name=rowy-roadmap&repository-name=rowy-roadmap)

#### Add the following environment variables to your app on Vercel

- `CLIENT_FIREBASE_WEB_API_KEY` – Add your Firebase project's web API key. Get it from your Firebase project [here](https://console.firebase.google.com/u/0/project/_/settings/general)
- `SERVER_FIREBASE_SERVICE_ACCOUNT` – Generate a Firebase admin sdk service account JSON and add that to your config by following this [link](https://console.firebase.google.com/u/0/project/_/settings/serviceaccounts/adminsdk) to your Firebase project
- `COLLECTION` – Name of the Firestore collection that stores the roadmap data. Default to `roadmap`
- `TABLE_ID` – Name of the Rowy Table ID. Default to `roadmap`
- `SESSION_SECRET` – `Optional` setup a session secret
- `FEEDBACK_FIN_WEBHOOK_URL` – `Optional` If you want to add a feedback widget to your roadmap app, add the webhook URL setup using [FeedbackFin](https://github.com/rowyio/feedbackfin)

### Step 3: That's it 🎉

Vercel gives you a hosted app domain or [create customized URL](https://vercel.com/docs/concepts/projects/domains/add-a-domain). Make sure to add this domain URL to list of [authorized domains](https://console.firebase.google.com/u/0/project/_/authentication/settings) in your Firebase project. Now you are all set to share this URL with your users and start gathering votes/feedback on your product roadmap.
