Phonegap day app

#PheedBack App

PhoneGap day demo application that allows the users to participate in a survey using his/her mobile phone. The user signs in using his/her FaceBook account and provides ratings to the questions by moving the phone.

Using the application -

Once you sign in using your FB Account, the application presents the user with a series of questions on a stack of cards. The user tilts the phone left/right to rate the questions. To flip to the next question, the user swipwes the card with his fingers and to submit the feedback, the user simply shakes the phone.

Getting Started -

• Git Clone the workspace
• At the root, type "npm install"
• At the root, install the following plugins -
  • cordova-plugin-whitelist
  • cordova-plugin-inappbrowser
  • cordova-plugin-device-motion
  • cordova-plugin-hockeyapp
  • de.appplant.cordova.plugin.local-notification

Building the application -

Once you enlist or sync to the git repo, remove all the previously added platforms and re-add them. This will also add the plugins since they are saved into the config.xml. Now add the platform and build using Cordova, Ionic or TACO CLI as,

cordova/ionic/taco build/run/emulate [platform]

Unit Testing the application -

The app can be tested by running

gulp [test]

which runs the unit tests defined at /tests/unit.

UI/Layout Testing the application -

To perform end to end layout testing, you would need to install the following pre-requisites

• Appium (npm install -g appium)
• Web-Driver (npm install -g wd)

Once, installed you can run the UI tests running on the emulator/device.

• First run appium server,

  $ appium

• Run the actual tests, by running protractor from the root of the project, as

  $ node_modules/protractor/bin/protractor tests/protractorlocal.config.js

CodePush

Use the CodePush CLI @ https://microsoft.github.io/code-push/docs/getting-started.html and register your app for code-push. You need to create a deploymentkey for the platform you are targetting and add it to your config.xml
