Prerequisites

Mongodb - for storing user objects (username, password, Box app user id)

Node.js (v9)

Instructions

Follow the steps below to get the app running on your local machine.

First, clone the repository and install dependencies.

$ git clone https://github.com/mattmitchell6/box-node-passport-sample.git
$ cd box-node-passport-sample
$ npm install

Create a new Box application and add the generated configuration variables (with generated private key) to the local.js file in the config folder (rename local.sample.js to local.js).

Add the domain, http://localhost:3000 to the list of "Allowed Origins" in the Box Developer Console.

Make sure mongoDB is running in a separate terminal tab. This local database is used to store the user objects (including the created box app user id).

$ mongod

Start the server.

$ npm start

Open a web browser and navigate to http://localhost:3000/ to see the example in action.
