Build an awesome developer portfolio website.

#portfolio #webdev #nextjs #devpolio

As a software developer, it's important to have a robust portfolio website that can display our abilities and experiences. To assist other developers, I have designed a portfolio website using Next, Tailwind CSS, and EmailJS. In this article, I will provide a step-by-step guide on the setup process, along with the GitHub link.

Here is the live preview:

STEP 01:
Clone the Repository using GitHub link and change the directory to the developer-portfolio.

git clone https://github.com/itzmesalamu/who-is-salamu.git
cd developer-portfolio
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

STEP 02:
Now install all packages using npm or yarn.

npm install
# or
yarn
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

After installation, all packages, Now change all data on utils/data/* according to you. For example:

export const personalData = {
  name: "Salamu",
  profile: "/profile.png",
  designation: "Full-Stack Software Developer",
  description: "My name is Salamu....",
  email: 'itzmesalamu123@gmail.com',
  phone: '8709611320',
  address: 'Chennai,TamilNadu,India ',
  github: 'https://github.com/itzmesalamu',
  facebook: 'https://www.facebook.com/itzmesalamu/',
  linkedIn: 'https://www.linkedin.com/in/itzmesalamu/',
  twitter: 'https://twitter.com/itzmesalamu',
  stackOverflow: 'https://stackoverflow.com/users/itzmesalamu',
  leetcode: "https://leetcode.com/itzmesalamu/",
  devUsername: "itzmesalamu",
  resume: "https://itzmesalamu.netlify.app"
};
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

The devusername properties replace it with your dev.to username and it will fetch all blogs from your dev.to website.

STEP 03:
Now we will make a .env file and set up our Email.JS credential in a .env file. I am using EmailJs in this project for the user to send mail to me and It's free. The .env file will be the following:

NEXT_PUBLIC_EMAILJS_SERVICE_ID =
NEXT_PUBLIC_EMAILJS_TEMPLATE_ID =
NEXT_PUBLIC_EMAILJS_PUBLIC_KEY =
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

First of all, go to Emailjs.com and sign up for an account.

Make a email service using Gmail and take the Service ID and add it .env file as REACT_APP_YOUR_SERVICE_ID value.

Then make a Email template and take Template ID from the template setting and use it .env.

Then go to Account and take Public Key and use it in .env.

STEP 04:
Now the portfolio website is ready for the run. You can run it using npm or yarn.

npm run dev
# or
yarn dev
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

If you like the portfolio project Please give it a star on the GitHub Repository.
