  • Create an account on liveblocks.io
  • Copy your public key from the dashboard
  • Replace pk_YOUR_PUBLIC_KEY in src/index.jsx with your public key
  • Run npm run dev and open http://localhost:3000 in your browser

Deploy on Vercel

To both deploy on Vercel, and run the example locally, use the following command:

$npx create-liveblocks-app@latest --example solidjs-live-avatars --vercel

This will download the example and ask permission to open your browser, enabling you to deploy to Vercel. Next, you must:

  • Create an account on liveblocks.io
  • Copy your public key from the dashboard
  • Replace pk_YOUR_PUBLIC_KEY in src/index.jsx with your public key
  • Push a commit to update the Vercel demo with the key
  • Run npm run dev and open http://localhost:3000 in your browser
