Getting started

.NET 8.0 SDK
Newest Git
A code editor - we like Visual Studio Code
- Also install recommended extensions (e.g. C#)
Podman or another container tool such as Docker Desktop

Cloning the application

Clone Altinn Notifications Sms repo and navigate to the folder.

git clone https://github.com/Altinn/altinn-notifications-sms

Set up credentials for the SMS Gateway

If you need working end to end functionality when working on Notifications Sms the connection to Link Mobility's SMS gateway needs to be set up.

We recommend settings it up as a user secret with the commands below.

cd src Altinn.Notifications.Sms
dotnet user-secrets init
dotnet user-secrets set "SmsGatewaySettings:Username" "insert-username"
dotnet user-secrets set "SmsGatewaySettings:Password" "insert-password"
dotnet user-secrets set "SmsDeliveryReportSettings:Username" "insert-username"
dotnet user-secrets set "SmsDeliveryReportSettings:Password" "insert-password"

Running the application with .NET

The Notifications SMS component can be run locally when developing/debugging. Follow the install steps above if this has not already been done.

Navigate to src/Altinn.Notifications.Sms, and build and run the code from there, or run the solution using you selected code editor
```
cd src/Altinn.Notifications.Sms
dotnet run
```
