This is the starter kit for Server-Side Rendering with Express and Smartcar.

This kit contains a simple web application that displays car information using Smartcar's Node SDK and Express.

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 http://localhost:8000/exchange.

Then, we can set these as environment variables -

$ export CLIENT_ID=<your-client-id>
$ export CLIENT_SECRET=<your-client-secret>
$ export REDIRECT_URI=<your-redirect-uri>

Make sure you have cloned this repo -

$ git clone https://github.com/smartcar/getting-started-express.git
$ cd getting-started-express/app

To install the required dependencies and run this Express app -

$ npm install
$ node index.js

Once your server is up and running, you can authenticate your vehicle at http://localhost:8000/login 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.
