New Years Resolution - Dev Log 25
Your typical software dev that fell in love with learning. Currently working on my New Years Resolution of earning enough income monthly from my own web applications to no longer be poor. A man can dream.
Ayyyyy, number 25, that is pretty good if you ask me.
Lots of things I have got working. For starters, Stripe payment processing is working like a charm. I also got the GitHub action read to go, which purges my DB of any job listings older then 60 days. Need to deploy before it can be tested though. I also added some security to my API routes, the details of which will remain on the down-low, since that is a best security practice.
Right now I am fighting with Vercel to deploy my application. So it will be very exciting when I get this figured out. Every time I deploy I get fetch errors. At first, it was because I was fetching my own API in getStaticProps methods, which apparently is not okay. After I changed that, I still got fetch errors. So I changed the URLs I was trying to reach over to the URL Vercel is trying to provide me with using an environment variable they provide. Still got errors. This time it was a new error though, only "absolute URLs are supported". Easy enough, I prepend the scheme to the URLs. So now they look like this:
'http://www.' + process.env.VERCEL_URL + '/api/searchJobListings';
Bam, right back to fetch errors. So I ended up starting a support ticket with Vercel. Then when I saw the response time, I started a pro account free trial and opened up a new ticket, got em.
After they respond, I should be able to get my project deployed. Then I can add the Google reCAPTCHA to the forms, test my GitHub action, take Stripe off of test mode, and integrate "party town" (a third party application that speeds up a site by offloading non UI tasks to web workers). Then I can finally create the MVP video I have been talking about. Hopefully, if all goes well, my job board will be fully released either Monday or Tuesday of next week!
Glory to Ukraine!
