space-gallery is a small app designed to nicely format images from NASA's Astronomy Picture of the Day API. Each image's page is statically generated with Next.js, thus allowing shareable links with the appropriate meta tags.

It was built for the Summer 2022 Shopify Frontend Developer Intern application.

The project is currently hosted at https://space-gallery.vercel.app/

Once you cloned this repository and navigated to the root directory, install the dependencies:

npm install

Now, run the development server:

npm run dev

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

You can start editing the page by modifying src/pages/index.ts. The page auto-updates as you edit the file.

The file for fetching images is src/api/apod.ts. Make sure to replace the API Key in this file with your own.

Run the build script to generated a production optimized build.

npm run build

For easier deployment, I recommend hosting the project on Vercel. You can link your GitHub repository and it will automatically create a deployment for every push.
