• Install dependencies: yarn install or npm install
• Setup environment variables:
  • FORGE_CLIENT_ID - your Forge application client ID
  • FORGE_CLIENT_SECRET - your Forge application client secret
  • FORGE_CALLBACK_URL - URL for your users to be redirected to after they successfully log in with their Autodesk account
    • For local development, the callback URL is http://localhost:8080/api/auth/callback
    • For applications deployed to a custom domain, the callback URL is http://<your-domain>/api/auth/callback or https://<your-domain>/api/auth/callback
    • Do not forget to update the callback URL for your application in https://forge.autodesk.com/myapps as well
  • SERVER_SESSION_SECRET - arbitrary phrase used to encrypt/decrypt server session cookies
• Run the server: yarn start or npm start

When using Visual Studio Code, you can specify the env. variables listed above in a .env file in this folder, and run & debug the application directly from the editor.
