# Quickstart

> Build and run your first RevoEngine endpoint.

This walkthrough creates a component, tests it in the Sandbox, and exposes it as an HTTP endpoint.

<Steps>
  <Step title="Create a component">
    Open **Components**, create a JavaScript or TypeScript component, and add a logic element.

    ```js theme={null}
    const name = api.input('name') ?? 'world';
    return {
      message: `Hello, ${name}!`,
      executionId: api.getExecutionId(),
    };
    ```
  </Step>

  <Step title="Run it in the Sandbox">
    Open the debugger, provide an input object, and run the component.

    ```json theme={null}
    { "name": "RevoEngine" }
    ```

    Inspect the result, logs, execution ID, and timing before publishing the component.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Create an endpoint">
    Open **Endpoints**, select the component, choose an HTTP method and route, then configure input validation and a timeout. Activate the endpoint only after the validation preview succeeds.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Call the endpoint">
    Use the endpoint URL shown by the platform. Authentication and the exact base URL depend on the endpoint policy configured for your instance.

    ```bash theme={null}
    curl --request POST \
      --url "https://your-endpoint.example/hello" \
      --header "content-type: application/json" \
      --data '{"name":"RevoEngine"}'
    ```
  </Step>
</Steps>
