Udacity Cloud Developer Nanodegree Program Course 4 Project - Serverless Todo Application Client

This frontend should work with your serverless application once it is developed, you don't need to make any changes to the code. The only file that you need to edit is the config.ts file in the client folder. This file configures your client application just as it was done in the course and contains an API endpoint and Auth0 configuration:

const apiId = '...' API Gateway id
export const apiEndpoint = `https://${apiId}.execute-api.us-east-1.amazonaws.com/dev`

export const authConfig = {
  domain: '...',    // Domain from Auth0
  clientId: '...',  // Client id from an Auth0 application
  callbackUrl: 'http://localhost:3000/callback'
}

Authentication

To implement authentication in your application, you would have to create an Auth0 application and copy "domain" and "client id" to the config.ts file in the client folder. We recommend using asymmetrically encrypted JWT tokens.

Best practices

To complete this exercise, please follow the best practices from the 6th lesson of this course.

Logging

The starter code comes with a configured Winston logger that creates JSON formatted log statements. You can use it to write log messages like this:

import { createLogger } from '../../utils/logger'
const logger = createLogger('auth')

// You can provide additional information with every log statement
// This information can then be used to search for log statements in a log storage system
logger.info('User was authorized', {
  // Additional information stored with a log statement
  key: 'value'
})
