Replyke Forum Starter

Overview

This is a basic starter project for a multi-topic board/forum where users can post, vote, and comment on posts. It is built using Replyke, allowing developers to quickly set up and customize a discussion platform for their needs.

Getting Started

To get this project running, follow the steps below:

1. Create a Replyke Project

1. Head over to Replyke's Dashboard.
2. Create a new project.
3. Copy the project ID and add it to your .env file:

   VITE_PUBLIC_REPLYKE_PROJECT_ID=your_project_id_here

2. Configure Authentication

Replyke supports both built-in authentication and external user systems. This project relies on an external user system and, for simplicity, uses a mock array of users.

To make authentication work:

1. Generate a secret key in the Replyke Dashboard.
2. Add the key to your .env file:

   VITE_PUBLIC_REPLYKE_SECRET_KEY=your_secret_key_here

3. This project uses useSignTestingJwt to sign JWTs directly in the client. This approach is for testing and development only.

3. Important Security Note

For production, never sign JWTs in the client.

• Move the signing process to your server.
• Rotate the secret key before moving to production, as any key used on the client is no longer secure.

Customization

Replyke offers extensive customization. Developers can modify styles, integrate their own authentication system, or extend functionality to suit their brand and requirements.
