Development

Requirements

This project requires node 18 and uses pnpm as package manager.

If you have nvm installed run

nvm use

pnpm & corepack

You do not need to install pnpm, you just need have node 20 installed and then enable corepack:

corepack enable

You should then be able to run pnpm normally in this project, e.g.

pnpm run fmt

Run pnpm run create-post and follow the instructions.

Change Homepage content

HomePage content is defined in:

• src/pages/api/hp/en.json.ts
