FAQPage Schema

How do I deploy a project to Vercel and get a preview URL?▼

To deploy to Vercel and get a preview URL, package your project into a tarball excluding node_modules and .git, then use curl to upload it. The deployment returns a live Preview URL for viewing and a Claim URL to transfer ownership.

Can I deploy a directory to Vercel without manually configuring the framework?▼

Yes, you can deploy a directory to Vercel without manual framework configuration. The deployment process auto-detects the framework from your project's package.json file during the tarball upload.

Do I need to remove node_modules before creating a tarball for Vercel deployment?▼

Yes, you need to exclude node_modules and .git directories before creating a tarball for Vercel deployment. This ensures the packaged archive only contains necessary project files for the upload.

What's the best way to automate generating shareable links for client demos on Vercel?▼

Automating shareable links for Vercel client demos is done by packaging the project into a tarball and deploying via curl. This returns structured URLs including a Preview URL for live viewing and a Claim URL for account transfer.

Does Vercel deployment via curl work with any project framework?▼

Vercel deployment via curl works with any framework specified in your project's package.json. The deployment mechanism automatically detects the framework configuration from this file during the upload process.

Why does my Vercel deployment require a Claim URL instead of directly linking to my account?▼

A Vercel deployment via curl provides a Claim URL to allow anonymous uploads to be securely transferred to a Vercel account. This separates the deployment action from account ownership until the claim link is accessed.
