To build and play with this app, follow the build instructions that are located here: INSTRUCTIONS_LINK
Follow the instructions below to get started.
Let's do some initial setup by creating a serverless(!) database.
-
Create a DataStax Astra account if you don't already have one:
-
On the home page. Locate the button
Create Database
-
Locate the
Get Startedbutton to continue
-
Define a database name, keyspace name and select a database region, then click create database.
-
Your Astra DB will be ready when the status will change from
PendingtoActive💥💥💥
-
After your database is provisioned, we need to generate an Application Token for our App. Go to the
Settingstab in the database home screen.
-
Select
Admin Userfor the role for this Sample App and then generate the token. Download the CSV so that we can use the credentials we need later.
- After you have your Application Token, head to the database connect screen and copy the connection information that we'll need later. We'll replace
ASTRA_DB_APPLICATION_TOKENwith theTokenvalue that is part of your Application Token.
-
After you have your Application Token, head to the database connect screen and select the driver connection that we need. Go ahead and download the
Secure Bundlefor the driver.
-
Make note of where to use the
Client IdandClient Secretthat is part of the Application Token that we generated earlier.
