Running Examples
===
The quickest way to start experimenting with dex is to run a single dex-worker
locally, with an in-process database, and then interacting with it using the
example programs in this directory.
# Running Examples
The quickest way to start experimenting with dex is to run a single dex-worker locally, with an in-process database, and then interact with it using the example programs in this directory.
## Build Everything and Start dex-worker
This section is required for both the Example App and the Example CLI.
First, build the example webapp client and example CLI client.
1. Build everything:
```
./build
```
1. Copy the various example configurations.
```
cp static/fixtures/connectors.json.sample static/fixtures/connectors.json
cp static/fixtures/users.json.sample static/fixtures/users.json
cp static/fixtures/emailer.json.sample static/fixtures/emailer.json
```
1. Run dex_worker in local mode.
```
./bin/dex-worker --no-db &
```
```
./build
```
Now copy the example configurations into place to get dex configured.
You can customize these later but the defaults should work fine.
## Example App
```
cp static/fixtures/connectors.json.sample static/fixtures/connectors.json
cp static/fixtures/users.json.sample static/fixtures/users.json
cp static/fixtures/emailer.json.sample static/fixtures/emailer.json
```
1. Build and run example app webserver, pointing the discovery URL to local Dex, and
With `dex-worker` configuration in place we can start dex in local mode.
```
./bin/dex-worker --no-db &
```
## Example Webapp Client
Build and run the example app webserver by pointing the discovery URL to local Dex, and
supplying the client information from `./static/fixtures/clients.json` into the flags.
```
./bin/example-app --client-id=XXX --client-secret=secrete --discovery=http://127.0.0.1:5556 &
```
1. Navigate browser to `http://localhost:5555` and click "login" link
1. Click "Login with Local"
1. Enter in sample credentials from `static/fixtures/connectors.json`:
```
email: elroy77@example.com
password: bones
```
1. Observe user information in example app.
## Example CLI
*TODO*
```
./bin/example-app \
--client-id=example-app \
--client-secret=example-app-secret \
--discovery=http://127.0.0.1:5556
```
Visit [http://localhost:5555](http://localhost:5555) in your browser and click "login" link.
Next click "Login with Local" and enter the sample credentials from `static/fixtures/connectors.json`:
```
email: elroy77@example.com
password: bones
```
The example app will dump out details of the JWT issued by Dex which means that authentication was successful and the application has authenticated you as a valid user.
You can play with adding additional users in connectors.json and users.json.
## Example CLI Client
The example CLI will start, connect to the Dex instance to gather discovery information, listen on `localhost:8000`, and then acquire a client credentials JWT and print it out.
```
./bin/example-cli \
--client-id example-cli
--client-secret examplie-cli-secret
--discovery=http://127.0.0.1:5556
```
