C++ Console App Quickstart

​

Prerequisites

Ditto’s C++ Console App Quickstart supports Linux only. Before getting started, ensure you have the following:

• Git installed on your machine
• A C++ compiler (such as Clang or GCC)
• If using GCC (g++), version 11 or newer is needed
• CMake (version 3.15.3 or later)
• Make (for building the project)
• A Ditto Portal account with a configured Ditto Database (see Getting SDK Connection Details)

​

Get Started

​

1. Clone the Repository

​

2. Configure Ditto

​

Get Ditto Database ID, Development Token, and Server URL

In the Ditto Portal, open your database and get its Database ID and Development Token. Copy the URL shown under “Connect via SDK” for DITTO_SERVER_URL. See Getting SDK Connection Details for details.

​

Add Ditto Credentials

1. Copy the .env.sample file at the top level of the quickstart repo to .env and add your Database ID, Development Token, and Server URL.
   cp .env.sample .env
   
2. Update the .env file with the Database ID, Development Token, and Server URL from your Ditto Database
   DITTO_DATABASE_ID="REPLACE_ME_WITH_YOUR_DATABASE_ID"
   DITTO_DEVELOPMENT_TOKEN="REPLACE_ME_WITH_YOUR_DEVELOPMENT_TOKEN"
   DITTO_SERVER_URL="REPLACE_ME_WITH_YOUR_URL"

3. Run the Application

1. Navigate to the project directory
   cd cpp-tui/taskscpp
   
2. Build the application
   make build
   
3. Run the application
   ./build/taskscpp --tui
   

​

4. Sync-Data Offline
