To run this project locally, follow these steps:
- Node.js 18.17 or later
- npm, yarn, or pnpm
-
Clone the repository
git clone https://github.com/PDFCraftTool/pdfcraft.git cd pdfcraft -
Install dependencies
npm install # or yarn install # or pnpm install
-
Start the development server
npm run dev # or yarn dev # or pnpm dev
-
Open your browser Navigate to http://localhost:3000 to see the application running.
If you prefer running PDFCraft in containers, you can use the provided docker-compose.yml.
docker compose --profile dev upOpen http://localhost:3000.
This runs next build to generate the static export (out/), then serves it via Nginx using nginx.conf.
docker compose --profile prod up --buildOpen http://localhost:8080.
To stop and remove containers:
docker compose downnpm run dev: Starts the development server with Turbopack.npm run build: Builds the application for production.npm run start: Starts the production server.npm run lint: Lints the code using ESLint.npm run test: Runs tests using Vitest.
PDFCraft is configured for static export (output: 'export'), which means it can be deployed to any service that supports static website hosting without requiring a Node.js server.
Before deploying, build the project to generate static files using the following command:
npm run buildAfter the build is complete, all static files will be located in the out directory.
You can deploy the contents of the out directory to any of the following platforms:
- Install Vercel CLI:
npm i -g vercel - Run the
vercelcommand. - Follow the prompts to set the build command to
npm run buildand the output directory toout. - Alternatively, connect directly to your GitHub repository, and Vercel will automatically detect Next.js and configure it.
Copy the contents of the out directory to the root directory of your web server.
Nginx Configuration Example:
server {
listen 80;
server_name example.com;
root /path/to/your/pdfcraft/out;
index index.html;
# Handle static files
location / {
try_files $uri $uri.html $uri/ =404;
}
# Enable gzip compression
gzip on;
gzip_types text/plain text/css application/json application/javascript text/xml application/xml application/xml+rss text/javascript;
}- Push the
outdirectory to thegh-pagesbranch of your repository. - Enable GitHub Pages in your repository settings.
- Note: If you are not using a custom domain, you might need to modify
basePathinnext.config.js.
- Connect your repository to Netlify.
- Set build command:
npm run build - Set publish directory:
out
- Headers Configuration: The
headersconfiguration innext.config.jsdoes not automatically take effect in static export mode. You need to configure HTTP headers separately depending on your hosting platform (e.g.,vercel.jsonfor Vercel or Nginx configuration). - Image Optimization: Since static export does not support Next.js's default image optimization server, the project is configured with
images: { unoptimized: true }.
After deployment, please check the following features to ensure everything is working correctly:
- Multi-language routing (e.g.,
/en,/zh) - Tool page loading
- WebAssembly (PDF processing) functionality
