This is the seed project you need to use if you're going to create a NodeJS API. You'll mostly use this API either for a SPA or a Mobile app. If you just want to create a Regular NodeJS WebApp, please check this other seed project
This example is deployed at Heroku at http://auth0-nodejsapi-sample.herokuapp.com/ping
#Running the example In order to run the example you need to have npm and nodejs installed.
You also need to set the ClientSecret and ClientId for your Auth0 app as enviroment variables with the following names respectively: AUTH0_CLIENT_SECRET
and AUTH0_CLIENT_ID
.
For that, if you just create a file named .env
in the directory and set the values like the following, the app will just work:
# .env file
AUTH0_CLIENT_SECRET=myCoolSecret
AUTH0_CLIENT_ID=myCoolClientId
Once you've set those 2 enviroment variables, just run node server.js
and try calling http://localhost:3001/ping
