Welcome to a world where creating a job board is smooth sailing! This article will guide you through setting up the open-source job board by HrFlow.ai, a fantastic tool for developers looking to build AI-powered job listing platforms and job matching applications. Let’s get started!

Step-by-Step Quick Start

• Clone the Repository

  git clone https://github.com/Riminder/open-jobboard.git

• Start Developing

  Navigate into your new site’s directory and start it up:

  cd open-jobboard
  npm install
  npm start

• Add Environment Variables

  The project environment variables must be defined in the .env.development and .env.production files in the root directory of the project. Please remember not to commit these files to your source control.

  Example variables:

  API_URL=https://api.hrflow.ai/v1
  API_KEY=Your team API key
  BOARD_KEYS=Your team list of board keys
  SOURCE_KEY=Your team source key
  AGENT_KEY=Your team agent key
  GOOGLE_API_KEY=Your Google API key

• Open the Source Code and Start Editing

  Your site will now be running at http://localhost:8000!

Configuring and Customizing Your Job Board

This is where the fun begins! Customization options include changing colors, images, and adding meta-information for SEO.

• Colors and Images

  Use the Sass preprocessor for CSS found in src/styles/helpers.scss for variable definitions.

• Website Metadata, Information, SEO, and Description

  The project uses the react helmet plugin to control your document head. You can add attributes like website title and meta description in gatsby-config.js, like so:

  module.exports = {
    siteMetadata: {
      title: 'Your job board title',
      description: 'Your job board description',
      ...
    },
    ...
  }

What’s Inside the Project?

When you open up your new project, you will notice the following folders:

• node_modules: Contains code dependencies for your project.
• src: The main source code including assets, components, and pages.
• .gitignore: Specifies files to be ignored by Git.
• gatsby-config.js: Main configuration file for your Gatsby site.

Troubleshooting Tips

If you encounter any issues during your setup, consider the following ideas:

• Check your environment variables: Always double-check that your keys are correct and the files are appropriately configured.
• Dependencies not installed? Make sure you ran npm install before attempting to launch.
• Is the server unresponsive? Ensure the correct port is being used and no other applications are blocking it.
