This is one of two repos that will help you get started with Lightning Out in Visualforce and Node.js application to render Lightning Components both Aura and LWC.
This repo contains the Node.js server built using Typescript, express and ejs.
Make sure you get both repos, then get the scratch org ready and execute the Node.js server.
- Create a scratch org by executing this command
./@ELTOROIT/scripts/CreateOrg.sh - At the end of that script, it creates the pasword for the user and displays some important information. Make sure you keep that open (if you close it, you can execute
sfdx force:user:display). - On the Scratch org that was created, reset the security token for API connections.
- First, rebuild the node_modules folder by executing
npm install - Open VS Code and find the
.envfile - Update the content using the information at the end of the script that creates the scrach org and the security token.
- Start the web server, by hitting
F5 - Once it has compiled, open a web browser and navigate to either
http://localhost:5000orhttps://localhost:5001
Note: The Node.js web server is using a self-signed certificate which is required for HTTPS, but obviously is not secured. When you open the "secured" site, the browser is going to report a warning but you can bypass it and get to the content. When you deploy this to a real server, and use a good certificate, this problem will not happen any more.
