Hello Contacts Example

CAUTION -- WIP!!!

The easiest way to get going is to copy and paste the code in Locker/Apps/skeleton into a new directory for your connector. Let's pretend there isn't a yet a Hello Contacts app (we'll use "HelloContactsExample" as the name so nothing bad happens):

cd Apps
mkdir HelloContactsExample
cd HelloContactsExample
cp -r ../skeleton/* .

The first thing we'll want to do is change the name of the .connector manifest file:

mv skeleton.connector HelloContactsExample.connector

Now let's edit that file. The only things that MUST be changed is the handle field.

{
    "title":"Hell Contacts Example",
    "action":"Just barely view my contacts",
    "desc":"More of an example than anything",
    "run":"node init.js",
    "status":"unstable",
    "handle":"hellocontactsexample"
}

---

Done!

Now we're ready to run.

cd ../..
node lockerd.js

• Then open up the dashboard at http://localhost:8042 and navigate to the Services section.
• Click the "[show unstable]" link in the top right hand corner. "Foursquare Example" should now be listed as an installable connector.
• Click the Install Connector button.

The connector should now install and take you to the auth page. Follow the instructions from there.

You've made your first connector!
