# Dify Frontend
This is a [Next.js](https://nextjs.org/) project bootstrapped with [`create-next-app`](https://github.com/vercel/next.js/tree/canary/packages/create-next-app).

## Getting Started
### Run by source code
To start the web frontend service, you will need [Node.js v18.x (LTS)](https://nodejs.org/en) and [NPM version 8.x.x](https://www.npmjs.com/) or [Yarn](https://yarnpkg.com/).

First, install the dependencies:

```bash
yarn install
```

Then, configure the environment variables. Create a file named `.env.local` in the current directory and copy the contents from `.env.example`. Modify the values of these environment variables according to your requirements:
```
# For production release, change this to PRODUCTION
NEXT_PUBLIC_DEPLOY_ENV=DEVELOPMENT
# The deployment edition, SELF_HOSTED
NEXT_PUBLIC_EDITION=SELF_HOSTED
# The base URL of console application, refers to the Console base URL of WEB service if console domain is
# different from api or web app domain.
# example: http://cloud.dify.ai/console/api
NEXT_PUBLIC_API_PREFIX=http://localhost:5001/console/api
# The URL for Web APP, refers to the Web App base URL of WEB service if web app domain is different from
# console or api domain.
# example: http://udify.app/api
NEXT_PUBLIC_PUBLIC_API_PREFIX=http://localhost:5001/api

# SENTRY
NEXT_PUBLIC_SENTRY_DSN=

# optional
NEXT_PUBLIC_SITE_ABOUT=
NEXT_PUBLIC_MAINTENANCE_NOTICE=
```

Finally, run the development server:

```bash
 run dev
# or
yarn dev
```

Open [http://localhost:3000](http://localhost:3000) with your browser to see the result.

You can start editing the file under folder `app`. The page auto-updates as you edit the file.

## Deploy
### Deploy on server
First, build the app for production:
```bash
yarn run build
```

Then, start the server:
```bash
yarn run start
```

If you want to customize the host and port:
```bash
yarn run start --port=3001 --host=0.0.0.0
```

## Lint Code
If your IDE is VSCode, rename `web/.vscode/settings.example.json` to `web/.vscode/settings.json` for lint code setting.
