10: Starting the Developer Portal

Due to how Auth0/Okta and Stripe are configured, you’ll need to define a host variable in your my-dev-portal/.env. We can also define a port for the frontend. We'll set this to the following:

HOST="127.0.0.1"
PORT="4000"

Now that everything is configured, it’s time to start up the Developer portal. This will require starting up both the UI and the API projects.

First, in a terminal that is pointing to the /my-dev-portal-api directory in the project, you’ll run:

node app.js

This will start up our API project.

Secondly, we will start up our UI project by opening another terminal at the /my-dev-portal directory and running:

npm start

Once it has started, your browser will open up the Developer Portal on http://127.0.0.1:4000. Next, you can move on to testing the Moesif Developer Portal to make sure all parts are working as expected.
