This is the starter kit for Javascript SDK with React.

This kit contains a simple web application that displays car information using Smartcar's Javascript SDK and React as the front-end SPA framework.

Instructions

Before we get started, create an application on Smartcar's Developer Dashboard to get your API keys.

Note: On the dashboard, you will want to set your redirect_uri as https://javascript-sdk.smartcar.com/v2/redirect?app_origin=http://localhost:3000.

Then, we can set these as environment variables -

$ export REACT_APP_CLIENT_ID=<your-client-id>
$ export REACT_APP_REDIRECT_URI=<your-redirect-uri>

Before setting up the client code, make sure to set up the server code. You can use any of our following back-end SDKs -

Follow the setup instructions in the back-end README except for the redirect_uri. Make sure the redirect_uri environment variable in the back-end directory is the same as the one we have set above.

Now that the server is ready, you can set up the client (the React application).

Set the server uri as an environment variable. This should be from your back-end directory and is set to http://localhost:8000 by default.

$ export REACT_APP_SERVER=<your-server-uri>

Make sure you have cloned this repo -

$ git clone https://github.com/smartcar/getting-started-javascript-sdk-react.git
$ cd getting-started-javascript-sdk-react/app

To install the required dependencies and run this React app -

$ npm install
$ npm run start

Once your server is up and running, you can authenticate your vehicle at http://localhost:3000 in your browser. In our current set up, we are using Smartcar's test mode, so you can log in with any username and password and you will see information of a simulated vehicle.
