Project Database
For this project, we will use the Postgres database. Let's see how to set it up on Vercel.
Instructions
- Click "Continue to Dashboard";
- Choose "Storage" from the header tabs;
- Create "Postgres (Serverless SQL)";
- Accept the terms and conditions;
- Name the database and click "Create and Continue";
- Click the "Connect" button.
After creating and connecting the database, we must set it up and populate it with data to work with.
Instructions
- Visit the ".env.local" tab;
- Ensure you have all the necessary data:
POSTGRES_URL
;POSTGRES_PRISMA_URL
;POSTGRES_URL_NON_POOLING
;POSTGRES_USER
;POSTGRES_HOST
;POSTGRES_PASSWORD
;POSTGRES_DATABASE
.
- Copy all the data and navigate to the project;
- Find the
.env.example
file in the project root. Rename it to.env
; - Paste the copied data from Vercel;
- Finally, open the terminal and run
npm i @vercel/postgres
to install Vercel Postgres.
The last step left is to populate the database with data. Let's focus on it in the following chapter.
