Example Node ES6 app

This example demonstrates how to use the Descope SDK in a Node.js Express application.

Running example

Setup

1. Install dependencies

npm install

2. Generate Certificates This example uses a self-signed certificate for the server.

npm run generateCerts

2. Build the SDK This example builds the SDK from the source code. Note: this step is required every time you make changes to the SDK.

(cd ../.. && npm install && npm run build)

3. Set the environment variables

# .env
DESCOPE_PROJECT_ID=<Descope project ID>
DESCOPE_BASE_URL=<Descope API base URL> # optional, Descope will use the default URL if not provided
PORT=8082 # optional, default is 443

4. Run the example

npm start

You can now access the example app at https://localhost:443.

# Get public data, the -k flag is used to ignore the self-signed certificate
curl -k https://localhost:443/api/public

Docker

You can run the application using Docker.

build the image:

docker build . --tag node-example

run the image:

docker run -d -e DESCOPE_PROJECT_ID=${PROJECT_ID} -p 443:443 node-example

Usage

Sign Up Or In Using OTP

To sign up or sign in using OTP, send a POST request to /otp/sign-up-or-in with the email address.

curl -X POST -k https://localhost:443/otp/sign-up-or-in -H 'Content-Type: application/json' --data '{"email": "<email>"}'

Verify OTP

curl -X POST -k https://localhost:443/otp/verify -H 'Content-Type: application/json' --data '{"email": "<email>", "code": "<otp-code>"}'
