The whole [portfolio](https://matthiaskretschmann.com) is a React-based app built with [Next.js](https://nextjs.org) in Typescript, using statically generated pages with a pinch of server-side rendering and server actions.
If you are looking for the former Gatsby-based app, it is archived in the [`gatsby-deprecated`](https://github.com/kremalicious/portfolio/tree/gatsby-deprecated) branch.
All displayed project content is powered by one YAML file where all the portfolio's projects are defined. The project description itself is transformed from Markdown written inside the YAML file into HTML on build time.
Next.js automatically creates pages from each item in that file utilizing the [`scripts/prebuild.ts`](scripts/prebuild.ts) script and the [`[slug]/page.tsx`](src/app/[slug]/page.tsx) template.
All project images live under `public/images` and are automatically attached to each project based on the inclusion of the project's `slug` in their filenames.
Next.js with `next/image` generates all required image sizes for delivering responsible, responsive images to visitors, including lazy loading of all images. For this to work, images are analyzed on build time and various image metadata is passed down as props.
On build time, all my public repositories are fetched from GitHub, then filtered against the ones defined in `_content/repos.json`, sorted by the last push date, and provided via the `pageContext` of the front page.
On client-side, my current and, if known, my next physical location on a city level is fetched from my (private) [nomadlist.com](https://nomadlist.com) profile and displayed in the header.
Fetching is split up into an external serverless function, a server action, and display component. Fetching is done with a serverless function as to not expose the whole profile response into the browser.
Includes a theme switcher which allows user to toggle between a light and a dark theme, where by default the user's system theme is used automatically. Uses [next-themes](https://github.com/pacocoursey/next-themes) under the hood.
The _Add to addressbook_ link in the footer automatically creates a downloadable vCard file on the client-side, based on data defined in `_content/meta.json`.
All SVG assets will be converted to React components with the help of [@svgr/webpack](https://react-svgr.com). Makes use of [SVGR](https://github.com/smooth-code/svgr) so SVG assets can be imported like so:
To add a new project, run the following command. This adds a new item to the top of the `projects.yml` file, creating the title & slug from the argument:
```bash
npm run new -- "Hello"
```
Then continue modifying the new entry in [`_content/projects.yml`](_content/projects.yml).
Finally, add as many images as needed with the file name format and put into `public/images/`:
