NHS POST-Redirect-GET Example

A demo of the server-sde POST-Redirect-GET pattern. Written in TypeScript.

Run it locally

To run it locally - firstly install the dependencies:

npm install

Environment variables

Create a .env file at the application root directory and copy the following then substitute relevant values such as APP_PASSWORD etc with something more sensible.

APP_USERNAME=A Username
APP_PASSWORD=A Password
NODE_ENV=development
SESSION_SECRET=a session secret
SESSION_DURATION=60000
PORT=3000

To start the server enter

npm run start:dev

This will start the server, any changes to the code will be picked up and the application will then restart.

Tests

I've added some light tests for demonstration purposes.

npm test
