## Requirements

### Node.js

Please install [Node.js](http://nodejs.org/) `>= v18` and [npm](https://nodejs.org/) `>= v9`. You will find it
easier to use the Node Version Manager [nvm](https://github.com/creationix/nvm)

To use the correct version of Node.js for this application, via nvm:

```bash
cd forms-manager
nvm use
```

## Local development

### Setup

1. Install Docker

2. Bring up runtime dependencies

```bash
docker compose up
```

3. Create a `.env` file with the following mandatory environment variables populated at root level:

```text
MONGO_URI=""
MONGO_DATABASE=""
OIDC_JWKS_URI=""
OIDC_VERIFY_AUD=""
OIDC_VERIFY_ISS=""
ROLE_EDITOR_GROUP_ID=""
HTTP_PROXY=
HTTPS_PROXY=
NO_PROXY=
```

For proxy options, see https://www.npmjs.com/package/proxy-from-env which is used by https://github.com/TooTallNate/proxy-agents/tree/main/packages/proxy-agent. It's currently supports Hapi Wreck only, e.g. in the JWKS lookup.

### Development

To run the application in `development` mode run:

```bash
npm run dev
```

### Production

To mimic the application running in `production` mode locally run:

```bash
npm start
```

### Npm scripts

All available Npm scripts can be seen in [package.json](./package.json)
To view them in your command line run:

```bash
npm run
```
