VS Code Setup

Visual Studio Code Instructions

1. Cloning is pretty straight forward. You can just clone straight from the terminal.

"git clone https://github.com/LostAtlas/Cafoe" then File > Open Folder > Cafoe.
Required: If the following prompt doesn't appear make sure to install the C# extension, you can search for it.

Your File Explorer should look similar.

2. Run React Project

• Right click "LostAtlasCAH.React" > Open in Terminal
  Note: The rest of these instructions will be the same for the Visual Studio Code Instructions
• Run command run "npm install" to get the node_modules folder
• Run command "node server.min.js"
• Go to the browser and type in "localhost:3000". The react project should open in browser.
• To close the server use command "Ctr + C" while in the terminal.
  

2. Run API Project

Required: You'll also need to install the .Net Core SDK if you plan to run the API Project.

• Right click the 2nd "LostAtlasCAH.API" Folder > Open in Terminal (so you should be in 'Cafoe\LostAtlasCAH.API\LostAtlasCAH.API' file structure).
• Currently the only way I know to get this to run in VSC is by going to the Startup.cs file and commenting out the UseHttpsRedirection() method. Save.
• In the terminal run "dotnet run"
• Redirect to URL: http://localhost:5000/api/values (or whatever we change this to in the specific controller you're looking for).
