Sample apps illustrating how to build applications with the Layer Web XDK

Setup

Before you install and run any of the sample apps provided in this repo, you will need to setup your Configuration file with your Layer appID and the URL to your Identity Provider (authenticator) server.

This JSON file contains an array of at least one:

• app_id: Go to The Developer Dashboard, select your Application, and select Keys in the table of contents on the left. You should see your Application ID.
• identity_provider_url: If you are using the Layer Sample Identity server deployed to your server or your Heroku account, enter the url to that server here. Note that if you are using your own custom identity service (recommended once you are no longer working on demos), you will need to replace your client's authentication code, and this configuration file is no longer needed.
• name: Support for this field will be added eventually to let you select between different configurations when logging in.

[{
  "app_id": "layer:///apps/staging/f34bdf52-fd26-11e6-9f75-336a5aaaaaaa",
  "identity_provider_url": "https://layer-quickstart-frodo-the-dodo.herokuapp.com"
  "name": "Staging Demo"
}]

Running the Demo

1. npm install OR yarn install
2. npm start OR yarn start

Deploying the Demo

To deploy this demo onto a web server that is not running on localhost, its worth noting that this project is created using react-scripts, which has extensive instructions at React Scripts Docs.

For a quick deploy:

1. npm run build
2. Deploy the build folder to your server

However, note that if this app is not running at the root path of your web server, you will need the following changes:

1. Add an entry to your package.json file: "homepage": "http://myco.com/mypath/toapp"
2. Edit your App.js file and update the <BrowserRouter/> to: <BrowserRouter basename={'/mypath/toapp'}>
