Install Jinaga

Let's install Jinaga so that we can get connected to the Replicator, by typing in VS Code's terminal window:

npm install jinaga jinaga-react

Sign in to the Jinaga portal to create or access a replicator. Publish the replicator and copy the generated URL. Create a new file called .env in the root of the project. Define a variable called REACT_APP_JINAGA_REPLICATOR_URL and paste in the generated URL.

REACT_APP_JINAGA_REPLICATOR_URL=https://rep.jinaga.com/xyz123....

Then create a file called jinaga-config.ts in the src directory. Whether you are using React or React Native, add the following code:

import { JinagaBrowser } from "jinaga";

export const j = JinagaBrowser.create({
    httpEndpoint: process.env.REACT_APP_JINAGA_REPLICATOR_URL,
});

That will create a Jinaga client for the browser or mobile app that connects to the Replicator.
