Install service template

To make life easier for you, a custom-service-template written in Javascript is available on GitHub. It is a ready-to-run example which exposes methods and calls other microservices in the project. Use this template project as a nice boiler plate for your custom service in Arrigo Local. Open a shell and navigate to your source code folder. (/code).

  • Using GIT: clone the repository to your computer. If you are familiar to GIT, open a console window in your source code folder and run 
    ❯ git clone https://github.com/rssoftwareab/arrigo-custom-service-template
