Project description
My portfolio is a website that allows me to showcase my most important projects.
First, I had to create a Rest API allowing me to interact with my MongoDB database.
Then, the open-source JavaScript animation libraries did not match my licensing criteria. So I had to recreate them entirely.
In July 2023, I completely rewrote the entire API used to store the projects.
I wanted to use a new framework to replace Express, so I choose NestJS.
Furthermore, I've greatly improved the cleanliness of the code, reducing the overall weight of the site. I modified, removed and added a few visual components to make the site more consistent with what I intended.
The site still uses NextJS (though I prefer NuxtJS) because I didn't want to transcribe the entire code into another framework. Perhaps for a future version of the website.
I've also set up a CI/CD to make sure the code works properly, and to facilitate its deployment.
When code is pushed to Github, a Github Action workflow runs to build a Docker image.
When a release is manually created on Github, a second workflow also build a Docker image and publishes it to a Github Packages repository with the latest git tag.
