UPDATES: - create-t3-app now uses latest Next, which should fix some bugs with hot reloading on parallel routes - MAKE SURE YOU USE THE DEFAULT PREFIX WHEN SETTING UP VERCEL POSTGRES - Clerk Core 2 is no longer in beta! If you just `pnpm install @clerk/nextjs` you will have this version now :) Oh also - GITHUB REPO IS HERE: github.com/t3dotgg/t3gallery
Thanks Theo, amazing tutorial as always ❤Recently you are bringing back the vibes of the time when pokemon roundest was around 😁would be amazing bringing new updated version of it tho'. UPLOADTHING is a game changer, finally something more about it too
Heya!!!! Thank you for the video!!! it was super helpful. You said at the start you would explain why no TRPC. Are you able to? Also, a follow on for this where you show how to for production state management / the zustand setup would be really cool:) Thank you for your content and the effort you put in!! your contributions to the community are never ending and appreciated greatly by me and so many others!!!!
Yo, I want to appreciate for the amount of work and effort you put into this also by not putting up a paywall and choosing not to take the easy path. Making this available (for free) to the community is truly commendable. Your work is worth so much more than those who charge for courses however are much less informative than this. A million thanks!
@@t3dotgg It'd be nice if this was also a playlist with shorter videos. It's easier to consume that way. Personally, I won't be watching this in one go. While having chapters help, it's still one video. Haven't started yet, but I'm curious how beginner friendly this is. While I'm good at JS, I haven't tried any front-end library/framework (although, I keep tabs on them). So I think it requires some kind of leap from plain JS to front-end libraries. I currently have that mental gap. Hope this helps a little.
@@akinoreh As someone who makes programming tutorials (JavaScript gamedev tutorials), there are big negatives with publishing in multiple parts. Here are the main two : - Next parts will always make progressively less views than the first part giving the impression that your channel is dying. - It clutters your channel and makes it hard to find content.
Wow nice, I have been looking forward to a video that isn't you reading an article or documentation. It's nice to see some actual programming 😁 Thank you for the vid!
Honestly, this is the kind of content I subscribed for. Really respect Theo for putting out content like this for free that's extremely useful and especially targeted towards intermediate devs. A lot of the content is only for beginners.
Quick tip using as a modal. To style the backdrop, just use the ::backdrop pseudo-class. In tailwind it would be className="backdrop:bg-zinc-900/50". This way you dont have to worry about the margins and having it cover the entire screen etc. The backdrop is already there for you
Amazing content. I don't usually watch that many tutorials anymore, but this feels exactly what i needed to hone my skills with all the new stuff. Thanks Theo!
just finished this awesome tutorial, the modal is not closing when deleting the image from the photo modal, but it works from the photo page. very valuable content to kickstart nextjs learning.
Just finished tutorial. Gotta say, gallery app was, in my opinion, an amazing choice for a project to showcase RSCs. For me, handling file uploads, storage, all the authentication that comes with it, was always a stressful experience and seamless integration this project provides is an amazing resource. 10/10. Keep up the amazing work, Theo!
Just finished watching the whole video and doing almost all things. As a noob it felt like this is so advanced code for me but now I got introduced to the analytics and ratelimiting
0 to Production with Full Test Coverage. That would be such an interesting follow up. Breaking down how each of the best practices and starting points your tutorial covers would fit into a CI testing stack (end to end and unit). That said, so far, so really really helpful. Thanks a bunch.
Theo doesn't really do TDD iirc - he thinks shipping code fast >>> maintaining both the codebase & tests (his mindset is very "move fast and disrupt this is sillicon valley let's make money" so he values good analytics and deploying a fix quickly more than deploying tested code; if he had a background in banking, medical or other sensitive software he might think differently) A good start is keeping your UI code decoupled from business logic (the new server actions seem useful for this) and have some Jest unit tests for each action. The better you are at separation of concerns the easier it is to test logic. There are libraries to test UI renders how you want or mock interactions and test a user journey end to end, but I find those very easy to break and a lot of overhead. With UI I think easily doing "prototype -> get feedback -> redesign" is very valuable so you have to balance if UI tests are adding value or it's just a development burden
Keeping it short; for anyone running into a build problem near 27:00 and you followed instructions not to rename POSTGRES_URL (and you might be paused wondering if it's fine to just replace all instances of "DATABASE_URL" to "POSTGRES_URL" in your project). He does go and fix that at around 30:00. Still useful for anyone who might pause vid after running into issue trying to fix it themselves before it's presented 3min later.
For those having an issue with it trying to getImage of the image you just deleted: check whether it only applies to parallel routes or also after hard navigating to that image. Ask yourself why that is. Search "next 14.2 parallel routes redirect workaround". The default.tsx just needs a page.tsx also returning a null. This has to do with how Next handles soft navigation. A few behaviors must have changed since this video was made, and the docs show a slightly different setup for the slot.
This was really helpful, thank you so much 🙏 Been sleeping on TypeScript, but now a fully signed up convert. Dropped a paid subscription to uploadthing, truly a thing of beauty. You Sir are a gentleman and a scholar.

@@continuouslearner i can't find the exact prompt now. but typically i use two prompts in sequence, something like: (1) "i don't want to watch the video. create a bullet list summary: ". (2) "add starting (not stopping) timestamps"
@@continuouslearner yes, I just copy paste the transcript. You can find a link in most RUclips descriptions. but keep in mind that a three hour transcript hits the boundary of what is possible with Gemini 1.5 pro. In my experiments Gpt4 was even worse and typically gave bad summaries for more than 1 hour videos
@@wolpumba4099 thank you, its so much clear now. For some reason i thought/was expecting gemini 1.5 pro to do both the transcription and then the summarization and was wondering why its output was so poor (not detailed enough) compared to your original comment above. A bit disappointed that 1.5 pro cant pull the transcription straight from youtube and we have to explicitly, manually, provide it ... but at least now i know how to get the detail. Much appreciated.
Love it! Was needing this a lot 🙏🙏 Most tutorials out there tend to leave important stuff out that's needed for any decent production application like the error monitoring, event tracking and rate limiting so it was super useful to see how you're tackling this
Watching this, i realize how much influence Theo has. I use most of these technologies in my production apps. And the startups i build for might keep using them for a long time too. I hope they are paying you a lot of money for the market you bring.
@31:50 hit a roadblock here. You need to change the line at the top of app/page.tsx from import { db } from "@vercel/postgres"; to import { db } from "../server/db"; (which does the vercel import)
1:36:40 (Parallel Routes section) If your page changes when clicking the link instead of printing the ID on the page -Make sure you have the default.tsx file -Restart the dev server (what worked for me)
6:23 right! so let's build a todo-list app first! haha Great video, I was actually considering asking somewhere if there were plans for a tutorial after the recent changes in so many technologies and platforms. Thanks a ton for videos like this. Introductory tutorials are nice, but at some point people start needing next level content, and this is about it!
Effin missed this, I really loved your beginnings with Pokemon app. In fact I claim that you sparked the Poimandres revolution in VSCode setups. I wish you'd do these videos more often!
if any of you having issues with parallel routing - firstly make sure you have the default in the @modal folder , then the page in the [id] folder. secondly , you will need to restart your dev server.
1:00:34 i could get the generic upload buttons only to work when i added "use client" at the top of the utils/uploadthing.ts file. alternatively, importing the Buttons directly from the library worked as well. Generally, i'd recommend doing this tutorial without --turbo, since it produced a lot of errors for me while more and more features were added. Thank you for this amazing tutorial. I learned a lot about how things work together
thanks Theo, great vid! at 1:40:45 - another approach that I like for breaking down changes into smaller commits is using VSCode Source Control tab to stage changes file by file (or line by line) for each commit
Thanks again for the tutorial. Finally made it through and I feel I have learned a lot. Appreciate your time and the sponsors' willingness to partner with you to make it happen.
Great tutorial btw, I'm starting to branch out towards next.js and react coming from Java and PHP (not together but from my last two jobs) so is extremely exciting to see how powerful all these tools are!
If youre new please focus on learning all these techs and buzz words at a low level. Using abstractions over abstraction will only hurt you. Learn how to setup a small linux cloud instance yourself. Learn SQL queries without a orm and aurogenerated queries. Learn how auth works and create your own. Yes it takes 10x more time in the start but you wont be tied to specifc frameworks and lock in. When you interview for a job you will have a leg up on others. If you plan on working in tech in the age of AI you will have to really put the work in.
I agree with what you say but not with the approach. You should start coding/building sth and get employed ASAP. Motivation, money and energy are not unlimited. After getting a job and feeling rewarded by actually building something you can tackle the more difficult concepts, which will also help you in your job and not just for building hello world. Otherwise you will get stuck and frustrated trying to understand why you are learning SQL queries but you are still not able to make a basic UI. That's what I did and it went well. After getting a job I started learning advanced JS concepts, advanced git, accessibility, then NodeJS for backend, security, databases. If I went deep from the start, I would still be unemployed and frustrated today.
@@codyrap95get employed ASAP while knowing nothing? I worked with people like that before (especially but not limited to bootcamp grads) and they all sucked, and the company fired them after 6 months when it was clear they didn't know even the basics. So I agree with the above commenter, yes it's important to have motivation but it's also equally important to learn the basics. If you need to gain motivation via building, then just build with the basics instead of abstractions, ie make apps with just HTML, CSS and JS without React at first.
Thank you Theo for this video. Thanks for showing us how we should manage and succeed in every project. Y'all dev brothers, never forget to-do lists. They are crucial
If anyone gets the error during deployment on Vercel : "ERR_PNPM_BAD_PM_VERSION. This project is configured to use v9.1.1 of pnpm. Your current pnpm is v9.0.4" Put the code below in your environment variables and redeploy, it should work again. ENABLE_EXPERIMENTAL_COREPACK=1 COREPACK_ENABLE_STRICT=0
1:33:11 Funnily enough, I just implemented something similar with HTMX, using the HX-Request header to determine if it should return a full page or just the page element that got updated 1:40:45 Lol, glad I did not forget. I was already confused that you didn't show the commit part, but at first I thought you just cut it from the video :D
I had a warning after adding the @apply rule at 17:02 - VSCode said "Unknown at rule @apply". The fix is to install the PostCSS Language support extension. I kinda wish Leo would have gone over the VSCode extensions he uses.
Hey, I just wanted to thank you for this video. I've been working with react for almost 5 years, next for 3. I know a lot of what you've covered in this video already but it was really nice having such a thorough and comprehensive refresher. I was laid off about a year ago and I became really skeptical of the value of my React skillset after not being able to find a job for sometime and have been somewhat a drift in my personal projects and coding. I just want you to know you reignited a bit of my spark and love for React/Next and that I genuinely appreciate you content. Side note... from boston... can kickflip... but does he hardcore?
You can create the backdrop by using backdrop: classnames from tailwind. You don’t even need a separate backdrop div. You can create blur, darkening, even sepia and other cool effects and it’s all styling ON the dialog element. Which is amazing, tbh…
Just started using Drizzle, gets a thumbs up from me. Of course the typing's are a real +, but what I really like is that you can use composition to build your query's. eg. lets assume you have a complex sub query you want to say do an `inArray` with, you can then create a function and re-use in other query's, you could say it's a bit like Views but been able to use props, and of course still have strong typing's. Nice!!!!
Fantastic knowledge share, I do wish there were written instructions on a hello world setup for all of this. It's a lot of 3rd party integrations that can get convoluted to setup in a new project. It would be great to get a README going over all of the scaffolding + the setup for each other integration further in the video.
Thank you very much for the tutorial, Can you please make a tutorial about how to elegantly organize and maintain folder structures and files according to industry standard?
2:29:46 for anyone running into an issue where Posthog doesn't work check console, your browser is probably blocking it. Turn off your adblock/ublock if you had one. He goes over the solution for making it work with adblockers around 2:34:40
To reset the env vars in Vercel, go to storage->projects->[...] (context menu for your project)->Remove Project Connection. Afterwards, just add the connection again with the default settings. I also just added the DATABASE_URL variable on top with the value I got from POSTGRES_URL. I figured that I never want the provider to dictate my own code.
@@sirklattjust finishes now, really great tutorial. one of the best we have here at youtube. really cool stuff, very well explained and would totally recommend
@@sovapid no that is well established in every major programming language in contrast to this implicit type conversion going on in your original code...
Coming back here to mention this while working on my second standalone Nextjs project -- any drizzle-kit version more recent than 0.22.8 will have multi-project schema issues where db:push tries to destroy your DB by attempting a sequence drop on your other projects' primary keys, you'll get an error when trying to push with multiple projects. This has apparently been a recurring issue for roughly three months. Basically if you plan on linking up multiple projects in the same DB using table prefixes, downgrade drizzle-kit to 0.22.8
I wish someone took us through a before and after video saying "this is what the world was like before Tech X and here look at this new shiny tech that makes all of this unnecessary". That would really help to motivate the barrage of crap that gets thrown at us in web dev world.
More of this! More tutorials. More projects. More ShadcnUI component modifications. More interacting with databases and fetching different content. More State management tutorials (Zustand?). More Github Actions....
Question: It seems Vercel no longer offers a PostgreSQL option. I see some options available in the marketplace like "Neon" and "Supabase". Any suggestions?
Amazing tutorial Theo! Thought could've complete this 3 hour tutorial in a day but it actually took me 3, and I'd learnt so much from it! However I have few questions: 1. Why did you not use tRPC for this? Is it because it currently doesn't support multipart form for uploading images? 2. Why did you decided to change to use pnpm from npm, I tried using pnpm too and I'm so not used to the syntax. Is the benefit of using pnpm in the long run be greater than just sticking to npm?
This was awesome! By the way, you can use the native 'loading' method on the toast for a slighter better loading toast. E.g. `toast.loading('Uploading', ...)`
For anyone that had issues during the first db:push getting timeout and other errors, apart from using node 18.7 that allowed me to see just one error, try doing the db:push while connected to another network like your phone hotspot. You might need to call your isp or change your isp to get it fixed
UPDATES:
- create-t3-app now uses latest Next, which should fix some bugs with hot reloading on parallel routes
- MAKE SURE YOU USE THE DEFAULT PREFIX WHEN SETTING UP VERCEL POSTGRES
- Clerk Core 2 is no longer in beta! If you just `pnpm install @clerk/nextjs` you will have this version now :)
Oh also - GITHUB REPO IS HERE: github.com/t3dotgg/t3gallery
Should I use dependency injection with posthog? if in case I want to migrate to something like mixpanel?

@@continuouslearner i can't find the exact prompt now. but typically i use two prompts in sequence, something like: (1) "i don't want to watch the video. create a bullet list summary: ". (2) "add starting (not stopping) timestamps"
@@wolpumba4099 thanks, where you say , what does that mean? i.e are you uploading the transcript along with asking the prompt?
@@continuouslearner yes, I just copy paste the transcript. You can find a link in most RUclips descriptions. but keep in mind that a three hour transcript hits the boundary of what is possible with Gemini 1.5 pro. In my experiments Gpt4 was even worse and typically gave bad summaries for more than 1 hour videos
@@wolpumba4099 thank you, its so much clear now. For some reason i thought/was expecting gemini 1.5 pro to do both the transcription and then the summarization and was wondering why its output was so poor (not detailed enough) compared to your original comment above. A bit disappointed that 1.5 pro cant pull the transcription straight from youtube and we have to explicitly, manually, provide it ... but at least now i know how to get the detail. Much appreciated.
Love it! Was needing this a lot 🙏🙏 Most tutorials out there tend to leave important stuff out that's needed for any decent production application like the error monitoring, event tracking and rate limiting so it was super useful to see how you're tackling this
As a former web developer who now develops Android and iOS applications, I've noticed that web development has become more complex than ever.
which shows how much flexible and a bitch JavaScript is 😂😂😂😂😂😂 , I think why some people decide to js instead of ts

Watching this, i realize how much influence Theo has. I use most of these technologies in my production apps. And the startups i build for might keep using them for a long time too. I hope they are paying you a lot of money for the market you bring.
@31:50 hit a roadblock here. You need to change the line at the top of app/page.tsx from import { db } from "@vercel/postgres";
to import { db } from "../server/db";
(which does the vercel import)
Thanks.
For people struggling with posthog - just turn off adblock if you get cors error
1:36:40 (Parallel Routes section)
If your page changes when clicking the link instead of printing the ID on the page
-Make sure you have the default.tsx file
-Restart the dev server (what worked for me)
6:23 right! so let's build a todo-list app first! haha Great video, I was actually considering asking somewhere if there were plans for a tutorial after the recent changes in so many technologies and platforms. Thanks a ton for videos like this. Introductory tutorials are nice, but at some point people start needing next level content, and this is about it!
Effin missed this, I really loved your beginnings with Pokemon app. In fact I claim that you sparked the Poimandres revolution in VSCode setups. I wish you'd do these videos more often!
if any of you having issues with parallel routing - firstly make sure you have the default in the @modal folder , then the page in the [id] folder. secondly , you will need to restart your dev server.
restarting did it for me! thanks! spent hours trying to figure this out.
Thank you! It works now
Mucho gusto good sir, didn't think to restart the dev server.
This video is just amazing! Thank you so much!! I appreciate that we can all see you coding and facing real-life errors and being honest about them. 👏
1:00:34 i could get the generic upload buttons only to work when i added "use client" at the top of the utils/uploadthing.ts file.
alternatively, importing the Buttons directly from the library worked as well.
Generally, i'd recommend doing this tutorial without --turbo, since it produced a lot of errors for me while more and more features were added.
Thank you for this amazing tutorial. I learned a lot about how things work together
Thanks, you solved my problem.
This fixed one error but the button just became stuck on loading indefinitely for me, I followed the tutorial to a T. I guess thats it.
solved my problem as well thank you!
Lets goooooooooo
I think you released 20 tutorials since I started planning this one 🙃
Thanks to both of you, I was able to learn coding because of you guys, thanks my real teachers🙇🏻♂️
idk what it is but theos videos make me so ready & awake & never give up never back down
one of the biggest ad turorial i have seen so far. i learn nothinh i would expect from this video.
thanks Theo, great vid!
at 1:40:45 - another approach that I like for breaking down changes into smaller commits is using VSCode Source Control tab to stage changes file by file (or line by line) for each commit
yeah you can use terminal for that but I also use vscode interface for that, super useful and a lot easier to visualize
Thanks again for the tutorial. Finally made it through and I feel I have learned a lot. Appreciate your time and the sponsors' willingness to partner with you to make it happen.
Great tutorial btw, I'm starting to branch out towards next.js and react coming from Java and PHP (not together but from my last two jobs) so is extremely exciting to see how powerful all these tools are!
If youre new please focus on learning all these techs and buzz words at a low level. Using abstractions over abstraction will only hurt you. Learn how to setup a small linux cloud instance yourself. Learn SQL queries without a orm and aurogenerated queries. Learn how auth works and create your own. Yes it takes 10x more time in the start but you wont be tied to specifc frameworks and lock in. When you interview for a job you will have a leg up on others. If you plan on working in tech in the age of AI you will have to really put the work in.

I agree with you although the most important thing is to start coding and stay motivated. If you go low level it won't be that easy.
I agree with what you say but not with the approach. You should start coding/building sth and get employed ASAP. Motivation, money and energy are not unlimited. After getting a job and feeling rewarded by actually building something you can tackle the more difficult concepts, which will also help you in your job and not just for building hello world. Otherwise you will get stuck and frustrated trying to understand why you are learning SQL queries but you are still not able to make a basic UI.
That's what I did and it went well. After getting a job I started learning advanced JS concepts, advanced git, accessibility, then NodeJS for backend, security, databases. If I went deep from the start, I would still be unemployed and frustrated today.
@@codyrap95what did you focus on when you started
@@codyrap95get employed ASAP while knowing nothing? I worked with people like that before (especially but not limited to bootcamp grads) and they all sucked, and the company fired them after 6 months when it was clear they didn't know even the basics. So I agree with the above commenter, yes it's important to have motivation but it's also equally important to learn the basics. If you need to gain motivation via building, then just build with the basics instead of abstractions, ie make apps with just HTML, CSS and JS without React at first.
Thank you Theo for this video.
Thanks for showing us how we should manage and succeed in every project. Y'all dev brothers, never forget to-do lists. They are crucial
Built a blog app with the help of this tutorial. Great vid, Theo.
you really have to give Remix a try!
less overhead and feels like a simple express middleware.
If anyone gets the error during deployment on Vercel : "ERR_PNPM_BAD_PM_VERSION. This project is configured to use v9.1.1 of pnpm. Your current pnpm is v9.0.4"
Put the code below in your environment variables and redeploy, it should work again.
ENABLE_EXPERIMENTAL_COREPACK=1
COREPACK_ENABLE_STRICT=0
Thank you!
I was getting this error and adding these environment variables to vercel fixed it.
1:33:11 Funnily enough, I just implemented something similar with HTMX, using the HX-Request header to determine if it should return a full page or just the page element that got updated
1:40:45 Lol, glad I did not forget. I was already confused that you didn't show the commit part, but at first I thought you just cut it from the video :D
Damn bro, i learned a lot with this, now i have a greater overlook of how js works and the ecosystem around this language , ty so much
Literally started learning this stuff yesterday, seems made for me
Congrats on the React Status Cooperpress newsletter headline mention. Love your channel and the work you do
My Go2Stack currently:
React (RSCs), Next (App Router), Tailwind, react query, Shadcn, Drizzle, Lucia, (TS, pnpm). Hosting: Vercel, Turso, Railway
Last year:
React, Next (Page Dir), Tailwind, tRPC (with react query), Prisma, NextAuth, (TS, npm). Hosting: Vercel, Planetscale
Theo, just four words: you made amazing tutorial!!! Thank you
I had a warning after adding the @apply rule at 17:02 - VSCode said "Unknown at rule @apply". The fix is to install the PostCSS Language support extension. I kinda wish Leo would have gone over the VSCode extensions he uses.
Hey, I just wanted to thank you for this video. I've been working with react for almost 5 years, next for 3. I know a lot of what you've covered in this video already but it was really nice having such a thorough and comprehensive refresher. I was laid off about a year ago and I became really skeptical of the value of my React skillset after not being able to find a job for sometime and have been somewhat a drift in my personal projects and coding. I just want you to know you reignited a bit of my spark and love for React/Next and that I genuinely appreciate you content. Side note... from boston... can kickflip... but does he hardcore?
After watching your development speed, I'm not consider myself a senior software developer anymore
You can create the backdrop by using backdrop: classnames from tailwind. You don’t even need a separate backdrop div. You can create blur, darkening, even sepia and other cool effects and it’s all styling ON the dialog element. Which is amazing, tbh…
Amazing guide. always learn a thing or 2 by walking through this
Just started using Drizzle, gets a thumbs up from me.
Of course the typing's are a real +, but what I really like is that you can use composition to build your query's. eg. lets assume you have a complex sub query you want to say do an `inArray` with, you can then create a function and re-use in other query's, you could say it's a bit like Views but been able to use props, and of course still have strong typing's. Nice!!!!
for europeans, at 2:35:25, you must use "eu-assets" and "eu.i.posthog" otherwise it wont work
Very good to know ty!
Fantastic knowledge share, I do wish there were written instructions on a hello world setup for all of this. It's a lot of 3rd party integrations that can get convoluted to setup in a new project. It would be great to get a README going over all of the scaffolding + the setup for each other integration further in the video.
Wow, just started learning t3, very timely update! Thank you so much!
Thank you very much for the tutorial, Can you please make a tutorial about how to elegantly organize and maintain folder structures and files according to industry standard?
I rarely comment on any videos at all, but felt the need to say: "Thank you". Thank you :)
great video. There's such a lack of intermediate videos like this.
There are plenty, they're just not free, and hosted on sites like Coursera and Udemy
2:29:46 for anyone running into an issue where Posthog doesn't work check console, your browser is probably blocking it. Turn off your adblock/ublock if you had one.
He goes over the solution for making it work with adblockers around 2:34:40
What a legend. Thank you sir for all the work you put into this. Something to learn here for any dev of any skill level!
Theo, i'm diego, i'm from colombia, i'm a fullstack dev and you're one of those people who inspired me to do this, thanks for existing my nigga 🔥❤🔥
I'd also love to see a video where you highlight the modularity - like migrating from Prisma to drizzle in a prod app
I learn an incredible amount from these videos - thank you for everything you do!
To reset the env vars in Vercel, go to storage->projects->[...] (context menu for your project)->Remove Project Connection.
Afterwards, just add the connection again with the default settings.
I also just added the DATABASE_URL variable on top with the value I got from POSTGRES_URL. I figured that I never want the provider to dictate my own code.
Theo you are a ROCKSTAR! I can barely contain my excitement to work through this tutorial. Thank you!
Amazing walkthrough!!
learned a lot, disagreed with some of your strong opinions but they are appreciated.
Thanks
2mins 57 secs in and I already know this is going to be crazy. One time for Theo. U re the man. ❤
Theo during copilot cli: I don't want AI anywhere near my terminal
Also Theo: *uses warp*
thats amazing. im doing it tomorrow and will come back here when i finish
Have you started yet
@@sirklattjust finishes now, really great tutorial. one of the best we have here at youtube.
really cool stuff, very well explained and would totally recommend
@@ustav_o I found it to be pretty ass but okay
At the 1 hour 40 minute mark, you can do this:
const image = await getImage(+photoId);
with the plus sign to convert the photoId string into a number.
bad practice. make it easy to understand and readable, this is junior code
@@YourEverydayDeveloper you confused by i++ ?
@@sovapid no that is well established in every major programming language in contrast to this implicit type conversion going on in your original code...
I love when Theo teach, i just follow and finish it
Thank you so much this is incredibly useful content!! Just as i decided like a week ago to take the plunge to learn a bit about next hahah ❤
This was so awesome, thanks so much for pouring all the time, blood and syntax into it for us ^^
Walking through this today. Shad init no longer hoses globals.css. I like how that keeps getting improved.
Coming back here to mention this while working on my second standalone Nextjs project -- any drizzle-kit version more recent than 0.22.8 will have multi-project schema issues where db:push tries to destroy your DB by attempting a sequence drop on your other projects' primary keys, you'll get an error when trying to push with multiple projects. This has apparently been a recurring issue for roughly three months.
Basically if you plan on linking up multiple projects in the same DB using table prefixes, downgrade drizzle-kit to 0.22.8
To anyone who struggles with parallel routes and modal: next v14.2.3 did the thing for me.
I wish someone took us through a before and after video saying "this is what the world was like before Tech X and here look at this new shiny tech that makes all of this unnecessary". That would really help to motivate the barrage of crap that gets thrown at us in web dev world.
i agree
Far away our best tutorial since
More of this! More tutorials. More projects. More ShadcnUI component modifications. More interacting with databases and fetching different content. More State management tutorials (Zustand?). More Github Actions....
Get out of tutorial hell…
YESSS BEEN WAITING FOR THIS!! Can’t wait to watch and follow along!
It was all worth it for the biscuits at the very end
if anyone's posthog isn't working disable your adblock and try again until theo shows how to make it work with adblock too
Question: It seems Vercel no longer offers a PostgreSQL option. I see some options available in the marketplace like "Neon" and "Supabase". Any suggestions?
I think Vercel transitioned their Postgresql to Neon Serverless Postgres but I haven't quite figured out how to connect it properly yet.
The sponsor stack
Never did I think that modern react would require diving into the taint.
Amazing tutorial Theo! Thought could've complete this 3 hour tutorial in a day but it actually took me 3, and I'd learnt so much from it!
However I have few questions:
1. Why did you not use tRPC for this? Is it because it currently doesn't support multipart form for uploading images?
2. Why did you decided to change to use pnpm from npm, I tried using pnpm too and I'm so not used to the syntax. Is the benefit of using pnpm in the long run be greater than just sticking to npm?
This was awesome! By the way, you can use the native 'loading' method on the toast for a slighter better loading toast. E.g. `toast.loading('Uploading', ...)`
Vercel's recent price hike is honestly more understandable than Netlify's layoffs.
Awesome Tutorial! Thank you so much. Going to build a full blown recipe - App with that
Wow, you are providing a ton of useful advice! This is awesome. Thanks a lot Mr T3 :-)
was not ready for the htmx logo 😂
For anyone that had issues during the first db:push getting timeout and other errors, apart from using node 18.7 that allowed me to see just one error, try doing the db:push while connected to another network like your phone hotspot. You might need to call your isp or change your isp to get it fixed
Damn I was actually watching the old tutorial, this came just at the right time :D Great content!
