MyCover AI
Getting Started

Quick Start

This guide is designed to help you easily integrate to our SDK as a distributor. By following this guide, you will set up the SDK for purchasing insurance.

Prerequisites

Setting up your project

  1. Clone the repository to bootstrap a fresh project:

To clone the repository to your personal computer, run the following command.

$ git clone <https://github.com/ibuildgenius/buy-insurance.git>
  1. Navigate into the project’s directory with the command:
$ cd buy-insurance
  1. Install the project’s dependencies using the commands:
npm install
  1. In the mycoverai.js file, replace the YOUR_API_KEY with the public API key from your distributor dashboard.
mycoverai.js
const config = {
  ...
  pk: 'YOUR_API_KEY', // ENTER YOUR PUBLIC API KEY
  ...
};

  1. Start the project locally in development mode.

Run the following command to start the project in the browser on http://localhost:5173/buy-insurance/ 

npm run dev
✨ Well done! A browser window should open for http://localhost:5173/buy-insurance/

Testing your project

With everything setup correctly, on launching your browser on localhost:5173, you should be greeted with a simple user interface. Click the "Buy Insurance" button to open up the MyCover.ai SDK widget.

Once you click the button, the SDK is initialised and displays a list of actions to take, including purchasing a product.

✨ During purchase, you can easily simulate a bank transfer payment using this link: https://demobank.paystackintegrations.com/

Distributor

In Mycover.ai context, Distributors are businesses that want to sell insurance directly through the MyCover.ai platform.

Environments

When working with MyCover.ai’s tools, you'll find that you’re provided two different environments. These environments are set up to give you the flexibility you need while also keeping your work secure as you build your product. Depending on where you are in the development process, you can switch between test and live environments.
