  • Hi  My name  is Ron. I have beaten this thing to death. No matter what I do I get npm start is missing when I issue npm start. Please help,
    Thank you

  • Hi Ron,
    Have you installed Node.js? You can download it here: https://nodejs.org/en/ You need the runtime to proceed.

  • I have node install. Npm Init works, NPM Install works, 
    Just when I try NPM start I get the problem.

    I will load the node you are pointing to and see if that works. I am at work I will try tonight.

    Is it possible for to to post the final package.json file so I can see if I got that right?

    Thank you
    Ron

    I have node install. Npm Init works, NPM Install works, 
    Just when I try NPM start I get the problem.

    I had this exact same issue this morning. Are you by chance doing this on a Windows machine? I had installed everything on Linux yesterday and npm start worked fine, but after repeating all of the steps on a Windows machine npm start wouldn't do anything.

    After looking around a bit I realized that the current version of NPM bundled with node has this problem on Windows. About halfway down the page on https://github.com/react-community/create-react-native-app/issues/233 brentvatne suggested the solution which finally worked for me (and I realize that the thread I linked to is regarding create-react-native-app, which we aren't using, but it's the same issue).

    If it sounds like the same issue:
    1) Run npm --version to make sure your current version is >=5.
    2) If so run: npm i -g npm@4.6.1
    3) Run npm --version again to make sure you are now using 4.6.1.

    npm start should work fine now.

    Or you could use yarn but where's the fun in that? Hope this helps.

  • where is the source code?

  • Hi Lero, the new SQLServerCentral CSS doesn't surface links very well. There's a link in the opening paragraph to the source code: https://www.sqlservercentral.com/articles/apiserver-react.zip

  • I clicked on it but  the page opens with :

    Oops! That page can’t be found.

    It looks like nothing was found at this location. Try the search below.

  • Hmm, try the original site link: https://www.cdata.com/kb/articles/apiserver-react.zip

  • Thanks!

  • Hello I'm Glenn, I was trying to set up the app with SQL Server database as you mentioned in the tutorial but it won't let me try anything just gives this message. Can you please help? Thanks

  • I tried to understand the development of apps and software, watched various training materials, studied information regarding flutter vs react native, but in the end I realized that it is much easier and faster to ask for help from a developer who will professionally solve my problems. Probably, I'm just not created for the profession of a developer.

  • Glenn,

    You need a license for CData's API Server if that's what you're trying to use -- according the message, you can request a trial license.  API Server is a paid product. Here is the product page. Here is the purchase page... 2500/yr + for a version that supports SQL Server.

  • Hey, I have been following this tutorial with the hope of using this for a project on a software development bootcamp. However, the link to the full code is dead. I have emailed the webmaster who has said they are unable to locate this. They said I should comment and if see if you might be able to provide?
