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.

Build Everything and Start dex-worker

This section is required for both the Example App and the Example CLI.

1. Build everything:

   ./build
   

2. 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
   

3. Run dex_worker in local mode.

   ./bin/dex-worker --no-db &
   

Example App

1. Build and run example app webserver, 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 &
   

2. Navigate browser to http://localhost:5555 and click "login" link

3. Click "Login with Local"

4. Enter in sample credentials from static/fixtures/connectors.json:

   email: elroy77@example.com
   password: bones
   

5. Observe user information in example app.
