Learn Node, React and KeyCloak

This project is to help understand how to get Node, React and KeyCloak working together. Each project should be hosted in its own container, but the API and web app can be run locally if required.

Setup

Before getting start do the following;

1. Create a /api/.env file and populate it with the following fields;
   • NODE_ENV="development"
   • EXPRESS_PORT=[port]
   • NODE_KEYCLOAK_SECRET="[keycloak secret key]"
   • NODE_CONNECTION_STRING="[postgresql URL]"
2. Using docker-compose get the environments running
3. Connect to the KeyCloak admin center
   • http://localhost:8080/auth
   • Refer to the KeyCloak project README for credentials.
   • Create an appropriate Realm, Client and User.
   • Copy the Client>Installation details into the /api/config/default.json configuration file.
   • Copy the keycloak.credentials.secret to the /api/.env file NODE_KEYCLOAK_SECRET environment variable.
4. Install require packages
   • >npm install
5. If you want to use the http://localhost:3000/test endpoints you will need to create the database
   • use the scripts in the /db/scripts folder. These will need to be run against the PostgreSql docker instance (i.e. localhost:54320). Refer to the README for information.
   • create-function-oninsert-rowversion.sql
6. Start the API project

Environments

To get the environment up and running; >docker-compose up -d

This will start up the following containers;

• KeyCloak
• KeyCloak PostgreSQL
• PotgreSQL (for Express)

API

Go to the /api folder workspace and either run it in a container or locally.

Locally

>npm run dev or >npm start

Container

Open folder in remote container, then run the application. There is an issue currently where running in a container will not allow secure connections
