Hubs Browser (Node.js)

Autodesk Platform Services application built by following the Hubs Browser tutorial from https://tutorials.autodesk.io.

Development

Prerequisites

• APS credentials
• Provisioned access to BIM 360 Docs or Autodesk Construction Cloud
• Node.js (Long Term Support version is recommended)
• Command-line terminal such as PowerShell or bash (should already be available on your system)

We recommend using Visual Studio Code which, among other benefits, provides an integrated terminal as well.

Setup & Run

• Clone this repository: git clone https://github.com/autodesk-platform-services/aps-hubs-browser-nodejs
• Go to the project folder: cd aps-hubs-browser-nodejs
• Install Node.js dependencies: npm install
• Open the project folder in a code editor of your choice
• Create a .env file in the project folder, and populate it with the snippet below, replacing <client-id> and <client-secret> with your APS Client ID and Client Secret, and <secret-phrase> with an arbitrary string:

APS_CLIENT_ID="<client-id>"
APS_CLIENT_SECRET="<client-secret>"
APS_CALLBACK_URL="http://localhost:8080/api/auth/callback" # URL your users will be redirected to after logging in with their Autodesk account
SERVER_SESSION_SECRET="<secret-phrase>" # phrase used to encrypt/decrypt server session cookies

For applications deployed to a custom domain, the callback URL will be http://<your-domain>/api/auth/callback or https://<your-domain>/api/auth/callback. Do not forget to update the callback URL for your application in https://forge.autodesk.com/myapps as well.

• Run the application, either from your code editor, or by running npm start in terminal
• Open http://localhost:8080

When using Visual Studio Code, you can run & debug the application by pressing F5.
