Getting started - what's the next step after installing client/server to connect LMS - i.e a working demo....

[rodneytamblyn]

Hi there,

I have successfully setup the client and server packages. When I run the client package the UX appears.

My Mongo database is completely empty at this stage.

Can someone talk me through how to configure an LMS in the database.

Assuming I am able to expose the test server on a temporary URL at mydomain.host and I wanted to connect this temporary app to an LMS, for example the free Canvas LMS service for teachers. What values would I need to configure in the Mongo database (?) to get this sample app working.

Basically I am asking what is the next step after installing the client and server apps to a working demo please?

Thank you.

Rodney

@siddrcrelias Any updates? Struggling to understand how i can continue past setup. Don't even really understand how the client and server are connected.

so in the demo app by @Cvmcosta he has built the client and put it inside the public folder...and the ltijs library internally uses ltijs-sequelize which uses a database to store platform related information when you register the platform
basically you can build more functionality around the ltijs library and extend the functionalities :) ... do reach out if you have any questions
