documentation: console dpd invocations don't work at / but they do at /dashboard

[LiamInJapan]

As title says.

In:
http://docs.deployd.com/docs/getting-started/your-first-api.html

In the section explaining how to use the javascript console commands, errors occur if you invoke dpd at http://localhost:2403 (but it works if you invoke at http://localhost:2403/dashboard

Context

It's a minor issue, but since it's in getting started documentation I feel it should be fixed. It's probably a very easy documentation fix

Expected Behavior

It works

Actual Behavior

VM1191:1 Uncaught ReferenceError: dpd is not defined
at :1:1

Possible Fix

I think it's just a documentation fix - fix it so the docs say to go to /dashboard

Steps to Reproduce

1. Open http://localhost:2403/ in Chrome
2. View->Developer->Javascript console
3. dpd.things.get(console.log);
4. Get the following error:

VM1191:1 Uncaught ReferenceError: dpd is not defined
at :1:1

5. Repeat at http://localhost:2403/dashboard no error

Context

Not a huge amount, was just a little hiccup in going through the "getting started" guide

Your Environment

• Deployd Version (deployd -V): 2.0.2 <--- also note that this template has a spelling error. It should be dpd -V
• Node version (node -v): v6.9.4
• Operating System and version: macOS 10.12.6

The documentation is extremely outdated at this point. There are a lot of things in the documentation that have changed.

We are looking for a contributor that would be willing to update it. There are various issues opened here about what needs to be done: https://github.com/deployd/docs/issues

Did you follow these steps at the top of the doc.?
dpd create hello-world
cd hello-world
dpd -d

This Helloworld project will create a template including an index.html file which should include a <script src="/dpd.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
https://github.com/deployd/deployd-cli/blob/master/lib/createtemplate/public/index.html

It is not totally the documentation. It is the template file that is missing to include 'dpd.js'.

Here is the doc for how to access dpd.js.
http://docs.deployd.com/docs/collections/accessing-collections.html

If you edit and add this
<script src="/dpd.js" type="text/javascript"></script>

It should work.
Thanks for pointing it out , it really helps to fix it for the beginners not to run away!
