How To Use v0 by Vercel | Tutorial For Beginners

in this video I'm going to break down everything you need to know about v0 first I'll walk you through coding a full front end then I'll show you how to take that code drop it into a cursor project and deploy it as a web app there's been a ton of hype around cursor Ai v0 replit and similar platforms so I'm making this video to give you a quick no BS rundown of what you can actually do with v0 all right let's get into it to get started with v0 just

create an account once you're in the dashboard you'll see your past chat conversations so let's start a new one I'm going to create the SAS onboarding form you saw earlier in this video I'll type in the prompt generate a multi-step wizard to collect information on users when onboarding a SAS product then we just hit enter the UI is set up like a chat with the AI on the left and our code files and previews on the right this platform is pretty solid kind of like what we've seen with repet in terms of making sandbox style uis or quick

MVPs for products as the code generates you can actually scroll down and see it coming together in real time which is pretty cool once it's fully generated you'll be able to preview it but here's one thing to keep in mind this isn't running in a local host environment meaning it's not running directly on your laptop if that doesn't make sense it basically means that for now in order to preview what we just created we need an internet connection and have to be connected to their servers a local host

environment on the other hand lets us run and deploy apps on our own machine without needing Wi-Fi so we can test things locally on our laptop or desktop once everything is fully generated we have a few options first we can ask a follow-up question to modify or add more functionality to our existing code second we can favorite the chat if we want to come back to it later maybe we got some really useful responses and want to continue tweaking things another day just hit the favorite button we can

even rename the chat like my software and save it for easy access to check out the original code that was generated just go to the right side and click code and you'll see everything that was created based on our prompt up top we have more options we can Fork the project share it as a public link or probably the most important option add it to our code base this is where we can take the entire project and move it into cursor AI for further development before we do that let's see what we've got this

is why I say this platform is great for sandboxing and understanding different UI elements you might want to build using AI right now this is just a UI it looks good but it's not connected to any backend it's purely a front-end experience for user interaction If This Were an actual SAS onboarding form we'd be clicking through steps just like a real user would since this UI isn't connected to a backend yet make sure to subscribe because I'll probably do another video showing how to take dat

like this and actually store it when you hit finish but for now let me show you how to deploy this in a cursor AI project so you can keep experimenting to do that go ahead and click download copy the generated code then open cursor AI on the bottom left hit terminal now inside the terminal we're going to set up a new project and push our code into it first let's create the project we'll use mki to make a new folder and name it v0 good once that's done we'll use CD v0 good to navigate into the folder now we

can open the folder by selecting open a project and choosing the one we just created next let's open the terminal again and paste the code we copied earlier hit enter since I've already installed a dependency you might see a prompt asking if you want to install a certain package just type Y and hit enter this will install the necessary dependencies for everything to work properly now let's continue in the terminal then we'll give our app a name name so we can reference it later in the
