About

Get BibTeX entry for a website. Data is scrapped from website headers. The project was inspired by Wikipedia BibTeX Generator which works only for Wikipedia links.

What I Have Learned

This project was more goal oriented rather than education oriented. I've mostly polished my knowledge in CORS/same origin policy areas (which is no longer in this project as I've moved backend to NextJS).

Development

1. Install dependencies with npm install.
2. Create a local db with docker compose up. You can browse local db under http://0.0.0.0:8081/db/test.
3. Run frontend application with npm run dev.
4. Access application under http://localhost:3000.

Deployment

Add environmental variable (project secrets on vercel) based on .env.example.
