First Version - step 3
Build, run and view your app's first version
Run Your App
Before you continue developing the app further, in your terminal (the black area on the bottom) run the command below to see what AI has made so far:
npm run dev
This could result in not seeing anything but errors. Whether that was the case or not, continue to the next step.
http://localhost:3000
if it runs successfully.Build and Check for Errors
In the terminal, run:
npm run build
This will show if the app is going to build or if there are errors, and if there are errors, what they are.
If You See Errors:
- Pass all errors to AI and ask it to solve them based on the Project specification documentation
- Pass the related documentation for the file that has the errors (e.g., if the file is related to using Dynamic, then pass the related docs for that)
- If you're not sure, ask what the errors are before asking it to fix them
What to Expect
✅ Success:
If the build completes without errors, your app's foundation is working correctly. You can now view it in your browser.
❌ Errors:
If you see errors, don't panic! This is part of the process. Copy the error messages and paste them into your AI chat to get help fixing them.
Common types of errors at this stage:
- Missing dependencies
- Type errors in TypeScript
- Import/export issues
- Configuration problems
What's Next
Once your app builds successfully (or you've fixed the initial errors), you'll move on to Step 4 where you'll:
- Learn how to iterate and improve your app
- Handle errors effectively
- Use version control with Git
- Monitor your progress
