Troubleshooting
Self-Signed TLS Certificate
If you are running API Platform on development machine which does not have valid TLS certificate,
add NODE_TLS_REJECT_UNAUTHORIZED=0 before running create-client:
NODE_TLS_REJECT_UNAUTHORIZED=0 npm init @api-platform/client --generator typescript https://127.0.0.1:8000/api src/
Authenticated API
The generator does not perform any authentication, so you must ensure that all referenced Hydra paths for your API are accessible anonymously. If you are using API Platform this will at least include:
api_entrypoint ANY ANY ANY /{index}.{_format}
api_doc ANY ANY ANY /docs.{_format}
api_jsonld_context ANY ANY ANY /contexts/{shortName}.{_format}
ApiDocumentation doesn't exist
If you receive Error: The class http://www.w3.org/ns/hydra/core#ApiDocumentation doesn't exist. you may have
specified the documentation URL instead of the entrypoint. For example if you are using API Platform and your
documentation URL is at https://demo.api-platform.com/docs the entry point is
likely at https://demo.api-platform.com. You can see an example of the expected
response from an entrypoint in your browser by visiting
https://demo.api-platform.com/index.jsonld.
Cannot read property '@type'
If you receive TypeError: Cannot read property '@type' of undefined or TypeError: Cannot read property '0'
of undefined check that the URL you specified is accessible and returns jsonld. You can check from the command line
you are using by running something like curl https://demo.api-platform.com/.
Dereferencing a URL did not result in a JSON object
If you receive a message like this:
{ Error
at done (/usr/local/share/.config/yarn/global/node_modules/jsonld/js/jsonld.js:6851:19)
at <anonymous>
at process._tickCallback (internal/process/next_tick.js:188:7)
name: 'jsonld.InvalidUrl',
message: 'Dereferencing a URL did not result in a JSON object. The response was valid JSON, but it was not a JSON object.',
details:
{ code: 'invalid remote context',
url: 'https://demo.api-platform.com/contexts/Entrypoint',
cause: null } }
Check access to the specified URL, in this case https://demo.api-platform.com/contexts/Entrypoint, use curl to check
access and the response curl https://demo.api-platform.com/contexts/Entrypoint. In the above case an "Access Denied"
message in JSON format was being returned.
Docker distribution on Windows and hot-reloading
Due to a long-time known Docker for Windows issue,
the files changes on the host are not notified on the pwa container.
It causes the hot-reloading feature to not working properly for Windows users.
