Create a Spot Account

If you don't already have a Spot account, you can create one here. Once you login, navigate to the Token & Docs page and copy your token into your clipboard.

Edit Spot.js file

Now we're going to edit the copy of js_bin/Spot.js found in your repo. Be sure you're working with your copy! You'll know you are because your username will be in the URL. We're going to focus on the first four lines. That is:

var man_jur = "LA";
var appBase = "https://afterpattern.com/marketplaces/ejc-legal-apps?nsmi_codes[]=";
var appCodes = ["CO-00-00-00-00","CO-01-00-00-00","FA-00-00-00-00","FA-04-00-00-00","HO-00-00-00-00","HO-02-00-00-00","HO-05-00-00-00","HO-06-00-00-00"];
var bearer = "8c93ab722ab46104cdd6e94b0d777760a6ab18a4d6cab9a8afd1581e91946a64";

1. Paste your Spot token into the bearer variablem replacing the existing token and leaving the quotation marks.
2. Replace man_jur with the abbreivation for your jurisdiction (e.g., TX for Texas).
3. Replace appBase with the URL for your Afterpattern marketplace. Be sure to keep the ?nsmi_codes[]= paramter. Also, if you don't have an Afterpattern marketplace, don't worry, you can come back and edit that later. Or you can follow these instructions for setting up a marketplace.
4. Edit the list of NSMI/LIST codes found in appCodes. These are the codes for which your marketplace has apps. So if you have both Family and Housing apps, you would edit your list to look like this ["FA-00-00-00-00","HO-00-00-00-00"]. If you have more granular apps, you can include those codes too (e.g., FA-01-00-00-00).
