# Setup

## Prerequisites

1. **APS Account**: Learn how to create a APS Account, activate subscription and create an app at [this tutorial](http://aps.autodesk.com/tutorials/#/account/).
2. **Visual Studio**: Either Community (Windows) or Code (Windows, MacOS).
3. **.NET Core** basic knowledge with C#
4. **HangFire**: Library for dealing with queueing. [learn more] (https://www.hangfire.io).

## Running locally

Clone this project or download it. It's recommended to install [GitHub desktop](https://desktop.github.com/). To clone it via command line, use the following (**Terminal** on MacOSX/Linux, **Git Shell** on Windows):

git clone https://github.com/autodesk-platform-services/aps-hubs-recursive-extraction

**Visual Studio** (Windows):

Right-click on the project, then go to **Debug**. Adjust the settings as shown below. For environment variable, define the following:

- ASPNETCORE_ENVIRONMENT: `Development`
- APS_CLIENT_ID: `your id here`
- APS_CLIENT_SECRET: `your secret here`
- APS_CALLBACK_URL: `http://localhost:8080/api/aps/oauth/callback`

**Visual Sutdio Code** (Windows, MacOS):

Open the folder, at the bottom-right, select **Yes** and **Restore**. This restores the packages (e.g. Autodesk.Forge) and creates the launch.json file. See _Tips & Tricks_ for .NET Core on MacOS.

At the `.vscode\launch.json`, find the env vars and add your APS Client ID, Secret and callback URL. Also define the `ASPNETCORE_URLS` variable. The end result should be as shown below:

```json
"env": {
  "ASPNETCORE_ENVIRONMENT": "Development",
  "ASPNETCORE_URLS" : "http://localhost:8080",
  "APS_CALLBACK_URL": "http://localhost:8080/api/aps/oauth/callback",
  "APS_CLIENT_SECRET": "your client secret here",
  "APS_CLIENT_ID": "your client Id here"
},
```

Open `http://localhost:3000` to start the app. Select **Index my BIM 360 Account** before using (this process may take a while). Check the `http://localhost:3000/dashboard` to see the jobs running (Hangfire dashboard).

# Further Reading

Documentation:

- [BIM 360 API](https://developer.autodesk.com/en/docs/bim360/v1/overview/)
- [Data Management API](https://developer.autodesk.com/en/docs/data/v2/overview/)

Other APIs:

- [Hangfire](https://www.hangfire.io/) queueing library for .NET

### Tips & Tricks

This sample uses .NET Core and works fine on both Windows and MacOS, see [this tutorial for MacOS](https://github.com/augustogoncalves/dotnetcoreheroku).

### Troubleshooting

1. **Cannot see my BIM 360/ACC projects**: Make sure to provision the APS App Client ID within the BIM 360 Account, [learn more here](https://aps.autodesk.com/blog/bim-360-docs-provisioning-forge-apps). This requires the Account Admin permission.

2. **error setting certificate verify locations** error: may happen on Windows, use the following: `git config --global http.sslverify "false"`
