# restaf-demos
A collection of examples demonstrating then use of restaf in nodejs
The demos cover typical SAS software usages - running datastep, running cas actions,
accessing VA reports etc...
Please review the source code to see how restaf is used to achieve
the desired goal with minimal coding.
## Install
```
example:
git clone https://github.com/sassoftware/restaf-demos -b restaf-demos
cd restaf-demos
npm install
```
## Configure the app
### Server setup
To run this application you need to do the following:
Ask your system administrator to give you a clientid and clientSecret appropriate
for password flow.
> A note on password flow: With the advent of TFA you should start transistioning away from using userid+password to run the examples in this repository. Instead use a saved token to execute these programs.
### How to get token
You can use the standard sas-cli.
```cmd
sas-viya auth login
```
Or you can use the newer version which uses authorization_code flow to get the token
```cmd
sas-viya auth loginCode
```
Save the token in some secure place (the .sas directory is a good place)
### Edit the .env file
The .env file is the way to specify configurations.
```env
VIYA_SERVER=
# Preferred way
# TOKENFILE=
# ex: TOKENFILE=../../token
## Alternate setup: Will work until the use of password flow is phased out.
# CLIENTID=sas.ec
# CLIENTSECRET=
# USER=xxx
# PASSWORD=ppp
# if Viya server still has the unsigned certificate and your protocol is https
NODE_TLS_REJECT_UNAUTHORIZED=0
```
## Running the application
```md
npm test testname
```
### Debugging your code.
```md
npm debug testname
```
Then use your favorite nodejs debugger. I use the chrome://inspect on Google chrome.
## List of examples
