## Prerequisites

1. Sign up for an [IBM Cloud account](https://console.bluemix.net/registration/).
1. Download the [IBM Cloud CLI](https://cloud.ibm.com/docs/cli?topic=cli-getting-started#overview).
1. Create an instance of the Discovery service and get your credentials:
- Go to the [Discovery](https://console.bluemix.net/catalog/services/discovery) page in the IBM Cloud Catalog.
- Log in to your IBM Cloud account.
- Click **Create**.
- Click **Show** to view the service credentials.
- Copy the `apikey` value, or copy the `username` and `password` values if your service instance doesn't provide an `apikey`.
- Copy the `url` value.

## Configuring the application

1. In the application folder, copy the *.env.example* file and create a file called *.env*

```
cp .env.example .env
```

2. Open the *.env* file and add the service credentials that you obtained in the previous step.

Example *.env* file that configures the `apikey` and `url` for a Discovery service instance hosted in the US East region:

```
DISCOVERY_IAM_APIKEY=X4rbi8vwZmKpXfowaS3GAsA7vdy17Qh7km5D6EzKLHL2
DISCOVERY_URL=https://gateway-wdc.watsonplatform.net/discovery/api
```

- If your service instance uses `username` and `password` credentials, add the `DISCOVERY_USERNAME` and `DISCOVERY_PASSWORD` variables to the *.env* file.

Example *.env* file that configures the `username`, `password`, and `url` for a Discovery service instance hosted in the Sydney region:

```
DISCOVERY_USERNAME=522be-7b41-ab44-dec3-g1eab2ha73c6
DISCOVERY_PASSWORD=A4Z5BdGENrwu8
DISCOVERY_URL=https://gateway-syd.watsonplatform.net/discovery/api
```

## Running locally

1. Install the dependencies

```
npm install
```

1. Build the application

```
npm run build
```

1. Run the application

```
npm start
```

1. View the application in a browser at `localhost:3000`

## Deploying to IBM Cloud as a Cloud Foundry Application

1. Build the application

```
npm run build
```

1. Login to IBM Cloud with the [IBM Cloud CLI](https://cloud.ibm.com/docs/cli?topic=cli-getting-started#overview)

```
ibmcloud login
```

1. Target a Cloud Foundry organization and space.

```
ibmcloud target --cf
```

1. Edit the *manifest.yml* file. Change the **name** field to something unique. For example, `- name: my-app-name`.
1. Deploy the application

```
ibmcloud app push
```

1. View the application online at the app URL, for example: https://my-app-name.mybluemix.net

## Tests
