api-example-express

===================

A Node.js/Express app built on 23andMe's API. Checks the ACVR1B gene for high muscle strength.

Local

===

Fork and clone the repository:

```

git clone [email protected]:yourname/api-example-express.git

```

Use ```npm``` to install the latest dependencies:

```

cd api-example-express && npm install

```

Get your dev credentials at https://api.23andme.com, and modify your .env file so foreman reads them into environment variables:

```

CLIENT_ID=xxxx

CLIENT_SECRET=xxxx

REDIRECT_URI=http://localhost:5000/receive_code/

COOKIE_SECRET=xxxx

```

Start foreman locally and go to http://localhost:5000/ to see it in action.

```

foreman start

```

Heroku

===

I host the app on Heroku. You can, too. Just setup your [Heroku credentials for Node.js](https://devcenter.heroku.com/articles/nodejs) and make sure you update your ```REDIRECT_URI``` on https://api.23andme.com and as a Heroku ```config``` variable to match:

```

heroku config:set REDIRECT_URI=http://herokuurl.com/receive_code/

```

Make sure the ```CLIENT_ID```, ```CLIENT_SECRET```, and ```COOKIE_SECRET``` environment variables are set too.

```

heroku config:set CLIENT_ID=xxxx

heroku config:set CLIENT_SECRET=xxxx

heroku config:set COOKIE_SECRET=xxxx

```
