The tutorial app show cases how to use the low level API from safe_app_nodejs library to build a simple email application.

Demonstrates the usage of:

• Private MutableData
• Public MutableData
• Immutable data
• App's own container
• _publicNames and services containers

Please refer to the Application Data Model section below for additional details.

Install

First, clone the repository:

$ cd your-project-name

And then install the dependencies:

$ npm install

If you are working on a development environment, you can run the command below instead, in order to get the safe_client libraries that use the MockVault file rather than connecting to the SAFE Network:

$ NODE_ENV=dev npm install

Run

$ npm start

This starts the app in development mode with hot-reloading.

Faking Authentication

If you don't have authenticator set up and want to run the test with randomly generated testing credentials, run it as:

$ NODE_ENV=development SAFE_FAKE_AUTH=1 npm start

Note: requires a node version >= 4 and an npm version >= 2.

DevTools
