Getting Started

Clone the repository by running:

git clone https://github.com/oktadeveloper/okta-node-postgres-todo-example.git

Restore the NPM packages:

npm install

Using your Postgres query tool of choice, connect to your Postgres developer server
Create a new database named todolist (or use an existing development database)
Create the Item table in the database using the following command

CREATE TABLE Item (
  id serial primary key
  , title varchar(100)
  , description text
  , isComplete boolean
);

Copy the included .env.sample file to .env
Update the configuration in this file to match your environment, such as your Postgres database connection
Sign up for a free Okta developer account
Create a new Web application in the Okta Developer Dashboard
Change the port for the Base and redirect URIs to use 3000 (e.g. Login redirect URI http://localhost:3000/authorization-code/callback)
Update the Okta configuration settings in the .env file with your Okta application's Client Id, Client secret, and Okta Org Url (e.g. https://dev-123456.okta.com)

Then run the application from within the root folder with:

node index.js
