Getting Started
This guide walks you from signing in to Liteguard through your first working guard check in your application. By the end you will have connected an SDK, created a guard in the web UI, exercised it from your code, and confirmed that Liteguard is seeing activity.
What you will do
- Sign in to the Liteguard web app
- Create your workspace and first project
- Copy a Project Client Token from your project settings
- Install the Liteguard SDK in your application
- Create a guard in the Liteguard web UI
- Evaluate that guard from your code
- Return to Liteguard and confirm everything is working
The whole path takes about fifteen minutes.
Prerequisites
- A Liteguard account. Sign in at app.liteguard.io.
- An application where you can add a dependency and run code.
Sign in to Liteguard
Navigate to app.liteguard.io and sign in with your account. After signing in, Liteguard loads the main app.
Create your workspace and first project
If this is your first time signing in, Liteguard shows the onboarding screen instead of the main app. The onboarding screen has two fields:
- Workspace Name — the name of your organization or team, for example
My Team - First Project — the name of the application you are integrating, for example
Web App
Fill in both fields and click Get Started. Liteguard creates the workspace, the project, and a Default environment automatically. You can add more environments such as staging or production later.
After the workspace is created, Liteguard opens the main app on the Guards tab.
Open your project in Config
To get the credentials your SDK needs, open the Config tab. This shows your list of workspaces. Tap or click the workspace you just created, then tap or click the project name. This opens the project detail page.
If you have more than one workspace, confirm you are looking at the right one before copying any values.
Copy a Project Client Token
On the project detail page, find the Project Client Tokens section. If no token exists yet, click New Token to create one. The token value starts with pcid-. Copy it. You will paste it into your application in the next step.
Keep this token in a safe place. Treat it like an API key. Do not commit it to source control.
Add Liteguard to your application
Choose the guide that matches your language or runtime:
If you are not sure which JavaScript package to use, start with the SDK guide overview.
Each guide covers installing the package, initializing the client with your Project Client Token, and writing your first guard check. Return here after completing the SDK guide.
Create your first guard in the Liteguard UI
After your SDK is set up, create the guard in the web UI so Liteguard can track and configure it. Go to the first guard guide for the full walkthrough.
Verify the result
After you have created the guard in the UI and exercised it from your code:
- Open the Guards tab in Liteguard.
- Confirm your guard appears in the catalog list.
- Tap or click the guard to open its detail page.
- Check that the environment configuration reflects what you set.
The Guards tab is the main place to confirm that Liteguard is seeing and configuring your guard correctly. The Monitor tab exists but is not the primary verification surface yet.
