Set up environment

1. Create a .env file at the root of the project.
2. Copy variables from .env.example into newly created .env (.../pc-parts-shop-next).
3. Change the values of these variables.

DATABASE_URL="mysql://username:password@host:port/database"
# If we use Django RESTful API, we do not need to provide a DATABASE_URL
# Unless we are willing to generate a database with Prisma ORM
# Then update the URL accordingly

API_URL="http://127.0.0.1:8000/"
# This is the default Django URI
# If you are hosting a separate NoSQL-based back-end remotely
# Remember to make changes accordingly in .env and src/lib/actions

Start development server

1. To start the development server, run:

npm run dev

2. Wait until the project finishes starting up...
3. Access http://localhost:3000 with your browser to start using the web application!
