# Project README

This README provides instructions for running the Node.js project included in this repository. The project uses the Express.js framework to create a web application with session management and routing for an Onfido integration. Follow the steps below to set up and run the project successfully.

## Prerequisites

Before you can run this project, ensure you have the following prerequisites installed on your system:

- [Node.js](https://nodejs.org/): Make sure you have Node.js installed on your machine.
- Make sure npm is installed on your machine

## Getting Started

1. **Clone the Repository:**

```bash
git clone
cd
```

2. **Install Dependencies:**

Open a terminal in the project directory and run the following command to install the required Node.js packages:

```bash
npm install
```

3. **Environment Variables:**

Create a `.env` file in the project root directory and configure the necessary environment variables. You can use the `.env.example` file as a template. Make sure to replace the placeholders with the actual values:

```dotenv
ONFIDO_API_TOKEN=
SECURE_COOKIE=true
SESSION_DURATION_MINUTES=
IDV_CHECK_INTERVAL= in ms
IDV_CHECK_TIMES_RUN=times to run status check
DEBUG=true
OKTA_URL=https://<>.okta.com
WORKFLOW_ID=onfido workflow id
ONFIDO_REGION=region
COOKIE_SESSION_SECRET=encryption for cookie
APP_SECRET=secret for app
ISSUER_BASE_URL=session token issuer
PORT=3539
ONFIDO_REFERRER_PATTERN=*://*/*
SELF_AUD=audience for session token
```

4. **Run the Application:**

Start the Node.js application by running the following command:

```bash
npm start
```
The application will start, and you should see a message in the console indicating that it's listening on the specified port (or the default port, 3000).

5. **Access the Application:**

Open a web browser and navigate to [http://localhost:3000/redirect-rule](http://localhost:3000/redirect-rule) to access the application.

## Project Structure

The project structure includes the following key components:

- `routes/onfido.js`: This file contains the route logic for Onfido integration.
- `views/`: This directory contains the Pug template files for rendering views.
- `public/`: Static assets like CSS, JavaScript, and images should be placed in this directory.

## Troubleshooting

If you encounter any issues while setting up or running the project, please check the following:

- Ensure that Node.js is installed correctly, and you have npm (Node Package Manager) available.
- Verify that the environment variables in the `.env` file are correctly set.
- Check for any error messages in the console output. Make sure the DEBUG=true in the .env file
