Introduction

This is a simple web application that is essentially a form for entering a into a contest.

Things that it should do:

• validate form inputs
• handle form submission by:
  • sending form data to be stored into the DB
  • updating page to show that the form has been submitted
• have the ability return to the form after a submission

The look and feel:

• this will need to be responsive to the various different devices, mobile is the main focus but computer/browser is also important

Database

This is using a postgres database that's hosted on Vercel.

Development Setup

• Create a .env file and get the db information off of Vercel to put into it

Folder Structure

• app/ >> contains core functionality
  • _components/ >> contains React components
  • _lib/ >> contains functions that does important things that doesn't need to be exposed
  • the entry to the app is through the page.tsx at this level, all other app routes are created by having a folder with a page.tsx inside, see NextJS' docs here for details. For example:
    • info/ >> this would be a route of ~/info
      • page.tsx >> this would be what's shown at ~/info
• public/ >> resources/images

NextJS Bootstrapped Application

This is a Next.js project bootstrapped with create-next-app.

Getting Started

First, run the development server:

npm run dev
# or
yarn dev
# or
pnpm dev
# or
bun dev

Open http://localhost:3000 with your browser to see the result.

You can start editing the page by modifying app/page.tsx. The page auto-updates as you edit the file.

This project uses next/font to automatically optimize and load Inter, a custom Google Font.
