This will take you through a series of steps to link your local project to the Netlify app. To do this, run netlify init from your terminal. Once you've pulled down and set up the project with its respective dependencies (run npm i or yarn for this), let's move on to connecting the project to Netlify via the CLI. The bare bones structure that we will use for this can be found in the step-1 branch in the repo provided.
USING YELP API CODE
Since this project requires some extra code to configure a map with mapbox that we won't cover in this tutorial, we'll work off of an existing base project. Before we move forward, let's create a basic project scaffold from which we can work off of.
This is where our serverless function comes in. In order to query Yelp’s API, we will need a node backend. Specifically, we will be using Yelp’s Fusion API, to fetch a list of the best pizza places in Chicago. For this example, we will be creating a map that visualizes top pizza spots in Chicago. Now that we have Netlify Dev up and running, let’s start building our example project. To check that netlify is up and running and to see what Netlify commands we have access to run: netlify -help With Netlify CLI installed, we can now run netlify commands right from the terminal regardless of project directory.
USING YELP API INSTALL
To do this, run the following command in your terminal: npm install -g netlify-cli To start, let's first install the Netlify CLI globally onto our local machine. Specifically, we'll be creating an application that pings the Yelp API for the best pizza places in Chicago and visualizes it on a map. We'll also be working with an example project where we make an external request to an API. Getting started with Netlify Devįor this example, we’ll be using Netlify Dev, an extension of the Netlify CLI that allows you to run the Netlify platform right from your local terminal. To best understand how local emulators help with this, let's dive into a concrete example. Several serverless providers like AWS, Netlify and Microsoft offer such local emulators for their services either via a CLI or a sandbox testing environment.īy giving developers the tools to emulate production environments on their local machines, the process of writing and testing code pre-deploy is vastly improved. To best replicate production conditions, an optimal testing strategy would be to locally emulate production environments. Given that development environments rarely matches that of production, bugs can be hard to pin down and testing as a result may have to happen after deploy rather than before. The process of writing and deploying code can be a finnicky one.
