Personal Website with Cloudflare Integration

🏗️ Architecture Overview

This project implements a modern web application architecture leveraging Cloudflare's edge computing capabilities. The architecture consists of two primary components:

1. React Frontend: A Single Page Application (SPA) built with React and TypeScript
2. Cloudflare Pages: Static site hosting with global CDN distribution

🚀 Getting Started

Prerequisites

• Node.js (v16.0.0 or higher)
• npm (v7.0.0 or higher)
• Cloudflare account
• Last.fm account and API key
• Git

API Keys Setup

1. Last.fm API Key:

   • Visit Last.fm API Account Creation
   • Sign in with your Last.fm account
   • Fill in the application details
   • Save your API key
   • Your username can be found in your profile URL: last.fm/user/YOUR_USERNAME

2. Cloudflare Setup:

   • Create an account at Cloudflare
   • Get your Account ID from the dashboard
   • Create an API token with Pages deployment permissions

Environment Setup

1. Clone the repository:

git clone https://github.com/EndofTimee/personal-site
cd personal-site

2. Create a .env file in the root directory:

VITE_LASTFM_API_KEY=your_lastfm_api_key
VITE_LASTFM_USERNAME=your_lastfm_username
CLOUDFLARE_API_TOKEN=your_cloudflare_api_token
CLOUDFLARE_ACCOUNT_ID=your_cloudflare_account_id

3. Install dependencies:

npm install

💻 Local Development

Start the development server:

npm start

The application will be available at http://localhost:3000

Component Structure

The project follows a modular component structure:

🌐 Deployment

Automated Deployment

The project includes a PowerShell deployment script:

npm run deploy

This script:

1. Loads environment variables
2. Installs dependencies
3. Builds the React application
4. Deploys to Cloudflare Pages
5. Sets up environment secrets

Manual Deployment Steps

If you need to deploy manually:

npm run build
npx wrangler pages deploy ./dist

Environment Configuration

Cloudflare Pages Configuration:

1. Build settings:

   • Build command: npm run build
   • Build output directory: dist
   • Node.js version: 16 (or higher)

2. Environment variables:

   • Production branch: main
   • Preview branches: dev/*

🐛 Troubleshooting

Common Issues
