Use the chargEV DB API CLI:

./api-cli.ts --generate --source 0 --client chargEVApp --type CKCheckIn

CHARGEV_DB_API_URL=http://localhost:3001/api/v1

This App is currently deployed on Heroku:

https://dashboard.heroku.com/apps/chargev-db-cloudkit-connector

ENV vars

For production set the same env vars listen in the .env file using e.g. heroku config:add.

CloudKit PEM Key

Make sure you create a config var for the PEM file:

heroku config:add CLOUDKIT_PRIVATE_KEY_FILE="$(cat eckey.pem)"

Then use the supplied targets in package.json to create the key file on the local filesystem:

npm run create-cloudkit-key

Note: this hook will be called automatically after each npm install as well.
