# Description

This basic C# WebAPI back-end sample implements a basic list of Buckets and Objects with an [Autodesk Forge 2 Legged OAuth](https://developer.autodesk.com/en/docs/oauth/v2/tutorials/get-2-legged-token/). The front-end was desiged with pure HTML + JavaScript (jQuery, Bootstrap), no ASPx features (i.e. no WebForms or MVC on this sample). It includes: create and delete buckets, upload and delete object, translate (including `.zip` files). This code is based on [this tutorial](http://learnforge.autodesk.io).

# Setup

## Prerequisites

1. **Forge Account**: Learn how to create a Forge Account, activate subscription and create an app at [this tutorial](http://learnforge.autodesk.io/#/account/). 

2. **Visual Studio**: Either Community 2017+ (Windows) or Code (Windows, MacOS).

3. **.NET Core** basic knowledge with C#

4. **JavaScript** basic knowledge with **jQuery**

5. **ngrok**: Routing tool, [download here](https://ngrok.com/)

## Running locally

Clone this project or download it (this `netcore` branch only). It's recommended to install [GitHub desktop](https://desktop.github.com/). To clone it via command line, use the following (**Terminal** on MacOSX/Linux, **Git Shell** on Windows):

    git clone github.com/Autodesk-Forge/model.derivative-WebAPI-sample.git

**Visual Studio** (Windows):

Right-click on the project, then go to **Debug**. Adjust the settings as shown below. 

![](forgeSample/wwwroot/img/readme/visual_studio_settings.png)

**Visual Sutdio Code** (Windows, MacOS):

Open the folder, at the bottom-right, select **Yes** and **Restore**. This restores the packages (e.g. Autodesk.Forge) and creates the launch.json file. See *Tips & Tricks* for .NET Core on MacOS.

![](forgeSample/wwwroot/img/readme/visual_code_restore.png)

At the `.vscode\launch.json`, find the env vars and add your Forge Client ID, Secret and callback URL. Also define the `ASPNETCORE_URLS` variable. The end result should be as shown below:

```json

"env": {

    "ASPNETCORE_ENVIRONMENT": "Development",

    "ASPNETCORE_URLS" : "http://localhost:3000",

    "FORGE_CLIENT_ID": "your id here",

    "FORGE_CLIENT_SECRET": "your secret here",

    "FORGE_WEBHOOK_URL": "your ngrok address here: e.g. http://abcd1234.ngrok.io",

},

```

Run `ngrok http 3000` to create a tunnel to your local machine, then copy the address into the `FORGE_WEBHOOK_URL` environment variable.

## Deployment

To deploy this application to Heroku. After clicking on the button below, at the Heroku Create New App page, set your Client ID and Secret for Forge.
