This is a React application that wraps the TCGCSV data that allows me to browse its data and be able to track individual products. This also has an integration with a Discord Webhook that I can get alerts if a product is under a price I input that I am willing to purchase it for.
First install the node modules with npm install.
If you wish to run a self-hosted Convex backend, run the docker compose file in the convex-backend folder.
Examine the .env.example file for the environment vars that I use. The env vars may differ if you use the Convex hosted platform vs self hosting it.
Then run both npx convex dev for the Convex dev server and npm run dev to spin up the React app.
To do all three of these at once, I have a Zellij layout that can be run via npm run zellij (make sure Zellij is installed first)
Also deploy a Discord webhook url via either the Convex dashboard or cli with the key of DISCORD_WEBHOOK_URL.
To build this application for production, run npm run build and it will generate a .output folder to be deployed.
Then when running the app, set the CONVEX_URL and CONVEX_SITE_URL env variables to point to Convex (No VITE_ prefix as that would require the vars to be set at build time while this allows them to be set at runtime).
Note: As of right now there is no auth layer for convex, but I have deployed this via my internal network so I did not need any for now. If you wish to deploy this app to the public internet, you probably may want to have an auth layer / rate limiting such that Convex is not sent a huge amount of requests by a malicious actor.
