Create a file named .env at the root. File should have the following values:

• PORT: the port the http server will listen on
• BOT_TOKEN: a personal access token that will be used when creating GitHub issues.
• CLIENT_ID: The client id to be used in the GitHub OAuth web application flow
• CLIENT_SECRET: The client secret for the OAuth web application flow
• STATE_PASSWORD: 32 character password for encrypting state in request headers/cookies. Generate here.
• SCOPES: The OAuth scopes the service is permitted to grant. "public_repo"
• ORIGINS: comma delimited list of permitted origins. For CORS.
• APP_ROOT: The root url of the deployed application. eg https://utterances-oauth.azurewebsites.net
• USER_AGENT: The GitHub API requires a User-Agent header.

Example:

PORT=5000
BOT_TOKEN=aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
CLIENT_ID=aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
CLIENT_SECRET=aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
STATE_PASSWORD=01234567890123456789012345678901
SCOPES=public_repo
ORIGINS=https://utteranc.es,http://localhost:9000
APP_ROOT=http://localhost:5000
USER_AGENT=utterances

Execute npm run develop to watch the TypeScript files and automatically build them.

Execute npm run start-env to set the environment variables using your .env and execute index.js.
