Set up your local environment

Prerequisites

To use this project, you should have git, node, and yarn installed on your machine.

1. Clone the project

Clone the project using git.

$ git clone git@github.com:swan-io/swan-partner-frontend.git
$ cd swan-partner-frontend

2. Install dependencies

Install yarn, which is required to mangage the monorepository.

$ yarn

3. Set up hosts

We need to be able to replicate the subdomains used in production. You might need to use sudo to edit the hosts file.

Add the following to your /etc/hosts file:

/etc/hosts
127.0.0.1 banking.swan.local
127.0.0.1 onboarding.swan.local

4. Set up HTTPS and mkcert

In order to replicate the production conditions (primarily for session cookies), the local server runs in HTTPS. Your system will warn against a self-signed certificate by default, so use mkcert to make your system trust it.

With Homebrew:

$ brew install mkcert
$ brew install nss # needed for Firefox
$ cd server/keys
$ mkcert -install
$ mkcert "*.swan.local"

5. Configure your Swan project

Configuring your Swan project is as simple as running one command and providing the requested information.

You will be asked for your OAuth2 Client ID and Client Secret, available on Dashboard > Developers > API.

caution

For local development, we recommend using your Sandbox credentials.

To configure your project, run the following command:

$ yarn configure

6. Add the provided redirect URL

In order for the Swan OAuth2 server to recognize your environment, add the following URL in Dashboard > Developers > API > Redirect URLs.

https://banking.swan.local:8080/auth/callback
