To set up Inke locally, you'll need to clone the repository and set up the following environment variables:
-`OPENAI_API_KEY`–your OpenAI API key (you can get one [here](https://platform.openai.com/account/api-keys))
-`BLOB_READ_WRITE_TOKEN`–your Vercel Blob read/write token (currently [still in beta](https://vercel.com/docs/storage/vercel-blob/quickstart#quickstart), but feel free to [sign up on this form](https://vercel.fyi/blob-beta) for access)
If you've deployed this to Vercel, you can also use [`vc env pull`](https://vercel.com/docs/cli/env#exporting-development-environment-variables) to pull the environment variables from your Vercel project.
To run the app locally, you can run the following commands:
| `defaultValue` | `JSONContent` or `string` | The default value to use for the editor. | [`defaultEditorContent`](https://github.com/steven-tey/novel/blob/main/packages/core/src/ui/editor/default-content.tsx) |
| `extensions` | `Extension[]` | A list of extensions to use for the editor, in addition to the [default Novel extensions](https://github.com/steven-tey/novel/blob/main/packages/core/src/ui/editor/extensions/index.tsx). | `[]` |
| `editorProps` | `EditorProps` | Props to pass to the underlying Tiptap editor, in addition to the [default Novel editor props](https://github.com/steven-tey/novel/blob/main/packages/core/src/ui/editor/props.ts). | `{}` |
| `onUpdate` | `(editor?: Editor) => void` | A callback function that is called whenever the editor is updated. | `() => {}` |
| `onDebouncedUpdate` | `(editor?: Editor) => void` | A callback function that is called whenever the editor is updated, but only after the defined debounce duration. | `() => {}` |
| `debounceDuration` | `number` | The duration (in milliseconds) to debounce the `onDebouncedUpdate` callback. | `750` |
| `storageKey` | `string` | The key to use for storing the editor's value in local storage. | `novel__content` |
| `disableLocalStorage` | `boolean` | Enabling this option will prevent read/write content from/to local storage. | `false` |
> **Note**: Make sure to define an API endpoint that matches the `completionApi` prop (default is `/api/generate`). This is needed for the AI autocompletions to work. Here's an example: https://github.com/yesmore/inke/blob/main/apps/web/app/api/generate/route.ts
