In this blog post, we'll show you how to build a Twitter clone using Upright. We'll cover everything from setting up your project to creating accounts, databases, and tweets. We'll also show you how to use Upright's functions API to create custom functions that can be triggered by events.
Getting Started
To get started, you'll need to create a new project in Upright. You can do this by going to the Upright console and clicking on the **New Project** button.
Once you've created your project, you'll need to install the Upright CLI. You can do this by running the following command:
```
npm install -g upright-cli
```
Setting Up Your Project
Next, you'll need to set up your project. To do this, you'll need to create a new file called `index.js` in the root directory of your project. This file will contain the main entry point for your application.
In `index.js`, you'll need to import the Upright client and create a new client instance. You can do this by running the following code:
```
const client = new upright.Client({
endpoint: process.env.UPRIGHT_ENDPOINT,
projectId: process.env.UPRIGHT_PROJECT_ID,
});
```
You'll also need to import the Upright database and create a new database instance. You can do this by running the following code:
```
const database = new upright.Database({
client,
collection: process.env.UPRIGHT_COLLECTION_NAME,
});
```
Creating Accounts
Now that you've set up your project, you can start creating accounts. To do this, you'll need to call the `createAccount` method on the Upright client. You can do this by running the following code:
```
const account = await client.createAccount({
username: "johndoe",
email: "johndoe@example.com",
password: "password",
});
```
Creating Tweets
Now that you've created an account, you can start creating tweets. To do this, you'll need to call the `createTweet` method on the Upright database. You can do this by running the following code:
```
const tweet = await database.createTweet({
text: "This is my first tweet!",
});
```
Using the Upright Functions API
Upright's Functions API allows you to create custom functions that can be triggered by events. For example, you could create a function that is triggered when a new tweet is created. This function could then be used to send a notification to the user who created the tweet.
To create a function, you'll need to use the Upright CLI. You can do this by running the following command:
```
upright function create
```
This will create a new function called `default`. You can then edit the `index.js` file in the function directory to add your own code.
Once you've added your code, you can deploy your function by running the following command:
```
upright function deploy
```
