• Set probe temperature targets

Configuration

Personal Access Token

The application requires an Anova personal access token to authenticate with the Anova API. You can configure the token in two ways:

Option 1: Environment Variable (Recommended for Production)

Set one of the following environment variables:

export ANOVA_TOKEN="anova-your-token-here"
# or
export ANOVA_PERSONAL_ACCESS_TOKEN="anova-your-token-here"

The environment variable takes precedence over database storage. If set, the token form in the settings page will be disabled.

Option 2: Database Storage (Default)

If no environment variable is set, you can configure the token through the web interface:

1. Navigate to the Settings page
2. Enter your Anova personal access token
3. Click "Save Token"

The token will be stored in a local SQLite database.

Development

Once you've created a project and installed dependencies with npm install, start a development server:

npm run dev

# or start the server and open the app in a new browser tab
npm run dev -- --open

Building

To create a production version of your app:

npm run build

You can preview the production build with npm run preview.

Environment Variables

• ANOVA_TOKEN or ANOVA_PERSONAL_ACCESS_TOKEN - Anova personal access token (optional, can be set via UI)
• DATABASE_PATH - Path to SQLite database file (default: ./data/anova.db)

Database

The application uses SQLite to store:

• Personal access tokens (if not using environment variable)
• Discovered device information

The database file is created automatically at the path specified by DATABASE_PATH (default: ./data/anova.db).
