A side project written in Typescript that uses the Kickbox API to validate e-mail addresses typed in by the user.
Before you begin, make sure you have the latest versions of Node JS and NPM.
Inside the project folder, run the following command in the terminal. This will install project dependencies on the client and server.
npm run setup
The project has a .env.sample file that requires a Kickbox.io API key. Replace where it says [insert Kickbox.io API key here] with a test or production API key, otherwise use my test key:
test_8d71abca3d95acad9ac7e26ac6317714de975a6afef3fef200ed1a980d4fffd0
Rename .env.sample to .env.
The included default typeahead e-mail suggestions are:
apple.com
gmail.com
gmail.co.uk
hotmail.com
icloud.com
me.com
yahoo.com
yahoo.ca
These can be modified inside of the client/src/config.js file as desired.
Run the npm 'dev' script to start the local development server.
Please note: Any time you change the .env file, you must restart the server for changes to take effect.
npm run dev
