WebAuthn workshop

Quick start

Start the back-end https://localhost:3001/

cd server
yarn
yarn start

Start the front-end https://localhost/3000/

cd client
yarn
yarn build
yarn start

Getting the files

If you have Git installed, you can run

git clone https://github.com/bplowry/webauthn_workshop.git

Otherwise, navigate to https://github.com/bplowry/webauthn_workshop and click Clone or Download > Download ZIP

Prerequisites

Getting started

This repo consists of an Express back-end and a React front-end. You'll need to run both for the app to function. To do so, open two terminal windows.

Running the front-end (client)

In one terminal window, run:

cd client
yarn

You have a couple of options after this point. If you don't intend on changing the front-end code, and just want it running, you can run

yarn build

This will create a production build that can be accessed at https://localhost:3001/ (after you've built the back-end). This is not required but can simplify the workflow if you don't intend on changing the front-end. It is closer to how the app will run in production, but it won't automatically detect changes to your front-end code.

If you intend to change the front-end code, it's easier to run

yarn start

This will run a development build of the app at https://localhost:3000/, which will update automatically when you make changes.

Regardless of which option you choose, you'll still need to run the back-end.

Running the back-end (server)

In a second terminal window, run:

cd server
yarn
yarn start

The back-end will be available at https://localhost:3001/ (which will actually display the front-end, if you've run yarn build for that project)

If you want to test that it's working, you can try going to https://localhost:3001/api/health in your browser. You should see something like

{ status: 'ok' }
