Ping SDKs

Step 3. Build and run the projects

In this step you build and run the API backend, and the "Todo" client app project.

  1. Open a terminal window at the root directory of the SDK samples repo, and then run the following command to start both the API backend server and the "Todo" client:

    npm run start:angular-todo

  2. In a different browser than the one you are using to administer the server, visit the following URL: https://localhost:8443.

    The app renders a home page explaining the purpose of the project:

    home page
    Figure 1. The home page of the sample app.
    Only the home page renders successfully. The login page functionality is not yet functional. You will develop this functionality later in this tutorial.

Troubleshooting

If the home page doesn’t render due to errors, here are a few tips:

  • Visit http://localhost:9443/healthcheck in the same browser you use for the Angular app; ensure it responds with "OK".

  • Ensure your hosts file has the correct aliases.

  • Look for error output in the terminal that is running the start command.

  • Ensure you are not logged into the server within the same browser as the sample app; logout if you are and use a different browser.
