There are two pieces to `og-image` that are worth noting before you begin development.
|
|
|
|
1. The backend image generator located in [/api/index.ts](https://github.com/vercel/og-image/blob/main/api/index.ts)
|
|
2. The html/css template used to generate the image is located in [/\_lib/template.ts](https://github.com/vercel/og-image/blob/main/api/_lib/template.ts)
|
|
3. The frontend inputs located in [/web/index.ts](https://github.com/vercel/og-image/blob/main/web/index.ts)
|

Vercel handles [routing](https://github.com/vercel/og-image/blob/main/vercel.json#L6) in an elegant way for us so deployment is easy.
|
|
|
|
To start hacking, do the following:
|
|
|
|
1. Clone this repo with `git clone https://github.com/vercel/og-image`
|
|
2. Change directory with `cd og-image`
|
|
3. Run `yarn` or `npm install` to install all dependencies
|
|
4. Run locally with `vercel dev` and visit [localhost:3000](http://localhost:3000) (if nothing happens, run `npm install -g vercel`)
|
|
5. If necessary, edit the `exePath` in [options.ts](https://github.com/vercel/og-image/blob/main/api/_lib/options.ts) to point to your local Chrome executable
|
|
|
|
Now you're ready to start local development!
|
|
|
|
You can set an environment variable to assist with debugging `export OG_HTML_DEBUG=1`. This will render the image as HTML so you can play around with your browser's dev tools before committing changes to the template.
