Tools
The tools and examples in this repository can be run in a number of ways. Each are specific to the task you are trying to accomplish. They are presented here in order or invasiveness to your local machine. For learners, the intention is to use Vercel.
- Vercel - using a cloud based hosting environment
- GitHub Codespaces - using a cloud based IDE and runtime
- VS Code Remote Development - using Docker Desktop to isolate development in a local container. This avoids needing to install developer runtimes on your local machine while allowing to you continue working locally.
- Local - using your local development environment
Vercel is a cloud based hosting service. Each individual tool and sample application can be deployed to Vercel by clicking the blue Deploy button. A wizard dialog will guide you through the deployment process.
When prompted for a url in the Vercel deployment wizard, it is important to include a scheme remove any trailing slash.
| Example | Valid |
|---|---|
| http://example.com/api | ✅ |
| https://example.com/api | ✅ |
| http://example.com/api/ | ❌ |
| example.com/api | ❌ |
Each deployment to Vercel is assigned a unique immutable deployment URL. It is then aliased to a production URL that is based on the Vercel project name. If a project already exists on Vercel with a given project name, the production URL will have appended random text to make it unique.
This causes a problem when attempting to configure some settings like baseURL in the express-openid-connect node module. For example, you may start on the production url of https://myapp.vercel.app, login using Auth0 and be retured to a completely different url of https://myapp-sdfsdf.vercel.app.
To avoid this situation, these example applications attempt to use another option for the baseURL value that contains both the VERCEL_GITHUB_REPO and VERCEL_GITHUB_ORG environment variables.
Given a VERCEL_GITHUB_REPO value of my-repo and VERCEL_GITHUB_ORG value of auth0 these URLs are mapped by Vercel.
| URL | Meets Expectation |
|---|---|
| https://my-repo.auth0.vercel.app | ✅ |
| https://my-repo-4m8guzwu.vercel.app | ❌ |
| https://my-repo.vercel.app | ❌ |
| https://front-end-web-app-secured-git-master.notmyself.vercel.app | ❌ |
The overall repository and each individual tool or sample includes a devcontainer definition. GitHub Codespaces can utilize it to create a completely web based IDE and execution environment. No installs are needed.
To use, from the GitHub project page:
- Click the green Code button.
- Click the Open with Codespaces menu option.
- Click the New codespace button.
The Codespace will be created and the project will load into the web based VS Code IDE.
Note: Once the Codespace is created, you do not need to create it again. Simply select it from the Codespace menu.
The overall repository and each individual tool or sample includes a devcontainer definition. This is to facilitate the use of a self contained docker image containing all the development dependencies.
- Install Docker Desktop.
- Right-click on the Docker task bar item and update Settings / Preferences > Shared Drives / File Sharing with any source code locations you want to open in a container.
- Install VS Code.
- Install the Remote Development Extension Pack.
- Open the root directory of the repository in VS Code.
- Click Reopen In Container on the remote development notification dialog.
All of the tools and sample applications can be run locally assuming dependecies are installed on the local machine. To prepare for local execution run npm install and then npm run init from the root of the repository.
Project assumes a working nodejs environment and has been tested using the following versions.
| Tool | Version | Install |
|---|---|---|
| Node.js | v12.15.0 | https://nodejs.org/dist/v12.19.0/node-v12.19.0.pkg |
| NPM | v6.14.8 | npm install npm@latest -g |
| NVM (optional) | v0.36.0 | https://github.com/nvm-sh/nvm |
