Migration from Valine

Since Waline completely reuses Valine's data structure in storage, migrating from Valine to Waline is very simple.

1. Deploy backend according to Vercel Deploy in Get Started section. LEAN_ID and LEAN_KEY should be the same as those applied for when using Valine before. Don't forget to set LEAN_MASTER_KEY for Waline.
2. Modifiy frontend scripts according to HTML in Get Started section. Please remind we should remove old configuration appId and appKey from Valine, and add serverURL option.

- <script src='//unpkg.com/valine/dist/Valine.min.js'></script>
+ <script src='//cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/@waline/client/dist/Waline.min.js'></script>

  <script>
-  new Valine({
+  Waline({
    el: '#vcomments',
-  appId: 'Your appId',
-  appKey: 'Your appKey'
+  serverURL: 'YOUR SERVER URL'
  });
  </script>

Config

Most configuration are same between Waline and Valine, but there are a bit difference. For waline config, please refer to Config。

Using Leancloud China

Besides LEAN_ID and LEAN_KEY, you need to config LEAN_SERVER environment variable if you're the user of LeanCloud China.
