Stormpath React + Express Fullstack Example Project

This repository is an example fullstack web application using React on the front-end and Express.js as your back-end server. It uses express-stormpath and stormpath-sdk-react to authenticate users, protect your server API, and render default login and registration screens in your React application.

1. Getting Started

To run this example project on your local computer, you will need to have Node.js installed and a Stormpath tenant account. If you don't have a Stormpath account, sign up for a free account at https://api.stormpath.com/register.

2. Installation

Clone this repository, then using a terminal, navigate to the directory and run the following:

$ npm install

3. Gather Stormpath Configuration

You'll need to Download an API Key Pair from the Stormpath Admin Console, and find the Application Href (also called REST URL) of the Application that you will use for your project. The default application is called "My Application" and you can use that to get started.

4. Provide Configuration To Your Application

Provide the API Key ID, API Key Secret, and Application Href to your environment, with one of these strategies:

Unix Environment Variables:

export STORMPATH_CLIENT_APIKEY_ID=YOUR_ID_HERE
export STORMPATH_CLIENT_APIKEY_SECRET=YOUR_SECRET_HERE
export STORMPATH_APPLICATION_HREF=YOUR_APP_HREF

Windows Environment Variables:

set STORMPATH_CLIENT_APIKEY_ID=YOUR_ID_HERE
set STORMPATH_CLIENT_APIKEY_SECRET=YOUR_SECRET_HERE
set STORMPATH_APPLICATION_HREF=YOUR_APP_HREF

Place them in a file named stormpath.yml, in the directory where you run the dev server:

client:
  apiKey:
    id: YOUR_API_KEY_ID
    secret: YOUR_API_KEY_SECRET
application:
  href: https://api.stormpath.com/v1/applications/XXXX

4. Usage

To start the server, run this command in the folder:

$ npm start

If the server is able to start with your configuration, you will see this in your terminal:

Stormpath Ready
Application running at http://localhost:3000

The application should now be running in your browser at http://localhost:3000.
