View Your Widget

Before you can see your widget locally, you need to register it in src/applications/registry.scaffold.json:

{
  "appName": "Hello World Widget",
  "rootUrl": "/hello-world",
  "widgetType": "hello-world"
}

Then run just the static-pages application in vets-website:

yarn watch --env entry=static-pages

Open http://localhost:3001/hello-world in your browser. You should see the VA.gov header and footer with your widget in between declaring “Hello World!”
