forge-sample-app-v2

An alternative implementation of learnforge.autodesk.io's Node.js sample code, focusing on a couple of things:

• using fewer dependencies, removing unused dependencies
• using ES6 features such as let/const, fat arrow functions, destructuring, and promises
• using async/await

The code currently focuses on the server-side, so the front-end is very rudimentary.

Quick Start

• get your Forge credentials: tutorial
• clone the git repo
• install dependencies: npm install
• run the server
  • using Visual Studio Code:
    • add the following launch configuration

            {
                "type": "node",
                "request": "launch",
                "name": "Launch Program",
                "program": "${workspaceFolder}/start.js",
                "env": {
                    "DEBUG": "express:*",
                    "FORGE_CLIENT_ID": "<your-client-id>",
                    "FORGE_CLIENT_SECRET": "<your-client-secret>"
                }
            }

    • run the server via Debug > Start Debugging
  • using command line
    • FORGE_CLIENT_ID=<your-client-id> FORGE_CLIENT_SECRET=<your-client-secret> npm run start
• go to localhost:3000
