Episode 1 - IntelliJ Setup

In this first episode you’ll learn how to set up the Netgrif Platform locally using IntelliJ IDEA. The tutorial walks you through cloning the backend and frontend repositories, configuring required databases with Docker, running the backend runtime, and preparing the frontend interface. Finally, you’ll upload a basic low-code application, extend it with a REST API function, and execute it in your local environment.

Episode 2 - VS Code Setup

In the second episode you’ll see how to initialise and run the Netgrif Platform locally using Visual Studio Code. The guide shows you how to launch backend services and databases with Docker, configure the frontend with Angular, and log in to the Etask application. You’ll also create new users manually and via a low-code app, deploy a ready-made User Management application, and learn about interprocess communication and CSV export features.
