Getting Started

To run this example, run the following commands:

git clone https://github.com/oktadev/okta-angular-standalone-runtime-config-example.git
cd okta-angular-standalone-runtime-config-example
npm ci

Create an OIDC Application in Okta

Create a free developer account with the following command using the Okta CLI:

okta register

If you already have a developer account, use okta login to integrate it with the Okta CLI.

Provide the required information. Once you register, create a client application in Okta with the following command:

okta apps create

You will be prompted to select the following options:

• Type of Application: 2: SPA
• Redirect URI: http://localhost:4200/login/callback
• Logout Redirect URI: http://localhost:4200

The application configuration will be printed to your screen:

Okta application configuration:
Issuer:    https://<OKTA_DOMAIN>.okta.com/oauth2/default
Client ID: <CLIENT_ID>

Update src/api/config.json with your Okta settings.

{
    "issuer": "https://{yourOktaDomain}/oauth2/default",
    "clientId": "{yourClientId}"
}

Start the app by running

npm start
