Getting started

This repository was created to assist you in getting started with the NexHealth API. Using this repository, you can rapidly create a Node server that interacts with the NexHealth API for appointment scheduling and provider management.

You can book appointments, view them, and manage the providers using the frontend app built with React.

Prerequisites

Please ensure that you have the most recent version of Node installed. You can download the latest version of Node here.

Clone the repository

Using https:

git clone https://github.com/prabhuignoto/NexHealth
cd NexHealth

Alternatively, if you use ssh:

git clone [e-mail]:prabhuignoto/NexHealth.git
cd NexHealth

Configuration

1. To request access to the NexHealth API, fill out this form. You should receive a subdomain, a location_id, and an API Key.

2. Populate an .env file in server/ with the credentials from above.

cd NexHealth
touch server/.env

Add values for the below properties:

Properties	Description
API_URL	Sandbox url e.g: https://sandbox.nexhealth.com
SUBDOMAIN	Refers to a specific institution
LOCATION_ID	Refers to a specific location
API_KEY	API Key provided by NexHealth

Please use the sample .env.example located under the server/ folder as a template.

API_URL=https://sandbox.nexhealth.com
SUBDOMAIN=xxxx
LOCATION_ID=xxxx
API_KEY=xxxx

Note: .env files are convenient for local development. Do not run production applications using .env files.

Please contact the NexHealth team if you have any questions about these values.

Installation

Install the required dependencies using the following command:

cd ./server
npm install

cd ./frontend
npm install

Starting the Node server and Frontend app

Navigate to the server folder and run the following command:

cd ./server
npm run start

If everything is working, you should see the following message:

[nodemon] reading config .\nodemon.json
[nodemon] to restart at any time, enter `rs`
[nodemon] or send SIGHUP to 14688 to restart
[nodemon] ignoring: .git node_modules/**/node_modules

[nodemon] starting `node --harmony index.js`
[nodemon] spawning
[nodemon] child pid: 11036
[nodemon] watching 8 files
Server is running on port 4000

To start the frontend app:

cd ./frontend
npm run start

If everything was set up correctly, you should be able to access the UI at the following url: http://localhost:3000/
