This repository contains the code for getting started Coding with Cursor.
The application is detailed below and includes both a backend (/backend) and frontend (/frontend) applications that need to be started separately and each folder consists of a README.md on how to run the application.
The application is a web email client that allows users to read and send emails using the Nylas Email API. It is built with a React frontend and a Node.js backend. Once a user authenticates, it allows them to interact with the Nylas APIs from a web client.
Before you get started, sign up for an account on Nylas if you don't already have one.
- Insert UTM link to Nylas and test
Use the Nylas Dashboard to create an application and grab a copy of your client id and click on API Keys to create and an API Key. You'll need those later on to build the application.
Let’s check that our environment is set up to use the Nylas Node SDK. Check the Node version in your terminal:
$ node -v
v18.0.0If you don’t see a version returned, you may not have Node installed. Try the following steps:
- Visit nodejs.org to set up Node on your machine
- Recommended: If you happen to use or require multiple versions of Node, consider using nvm
The minimum required Node version is v18.0.0. As a quick check, try running node -v again to confirm the version. You may need to restart your terminal for the changes to take effect.
View the README.md files in the backend and frontend directories for instructions on how to set up the server and client. These README files include set up instructions for each language.
Start the backend server first, then in a new terminal, start the frontend server.
Once the servers are running, visit the app at http://localhost:3000. You can also visit the backend server at http://localhost:9000.
