Logger is a cross-platform (iOS/Android) mobile app to log sales activities and notes. Logger is a Cordova hyrbrid app build on top of the Salesforce Mobile SDK for iOS and Android.
Install the app for iOS or. Android.
Follow on Twitter.
In order to build Logger you need NodeJS version >=0.8 and CoffeeScript. All other dependencies are install with NPM:
$ sudo npm install -g coffee-script
$ git clone git@github.com:ForceDotComLabs/Logger.git
$ cd Logger
$ npm install .
To test Logger as a NodeJS web app you also need Redis and node-dev.
$ brew install redis
$ sudo npm install -g node-dev
Create a new Connected App:
- Setup
- App Setup -> Create -> Apps
- Connected Apps -> New
- Enter all required information
- Specify
loggr:///login/success/redirectas the Callback URL.
If you want a different Callback URL you can edit src/coffeescript/ContainerAuth.coffee. It is best practice to not include the Consumer Key in the source code. Therefor you have to declare an environment variable. If you use bash edit your ``/.bash_profile` and export the Client Id:
export LOGGER_CLIENT_ID=<Your OAuth Consumer Consumer Key>
To run the web app you need to create another OAuth consumer with the Callback Url http://localhost:4000/token and also export the Consumer Key and Consumer Secret:
export LOGGER_WEB_CONSUMER_KEY=<Your OAuth Consumer Consumer Key>
export LOGGER_WEB_CONSUMER_SECRET=<Your OAuth Consumer Consumer Secret>
The variables are used in routes/index.coffee.
To build the hybrid app open the terminal and call make with the corresponding target. The process adds watchers to the filesystem which re-compiles CoffeeScript, Stylus and the templates whenever a change is detected.
$ make ios
Open xcode/Logger.xcodeproj with XCode. Select your device or the simulator and run it with Cmd+r. Whenever you change source code you only have to re-run the app again to see the changes. When you are done developing kill the make ios process.

$ git submodule update --init --recursive
Import projects into Eclipse
- Go to File -> Import and select General -> Existing Projects into Workspace.
- Import the
<logger_dir>/android/external/SalesforceMobileSDK/native/SalesforceSDKproject from Salesforce Mobile SDK Android - Similarly, select the folder
<logger_dir>/androidand import projectLoggerinto the workspace.
Build and run
$ make android
Right-click Logger in the Project Explorer and select Debug As -> Android Application.
Whenever you change source code you only have to switch to Eclipse, select the project, hit F5 and re-run the app. When you are done developing kill the make android process.
Hint
If you see error Unable to resolve target 'android-15' make sure you've got Android 4.0.3 (API 15) installed via the SDK manager.
To test the web app you need to run Redis and NodeJS express server:
$ redis-server & make nodejs
Open browser and point to localhost:4000 and login with your Salesforce credentials. To enable cross-domain request we recommend to use Google Chrome Canary and disable the web security with the following script:
#!/bin/bash
open -a /Applications/Google\ Chrome\ Canary.app --args --allow-file-access-from-files --disable-web-security
Chrome Canary also supports to emulate a mobile browser with Touch events and specific device metrics like 320x480.
IMPORTANT: Only use this browser instance for testing since web security is disabled!
All source files live in the src directory.
Scripting is implemented using CoffeeScript.
The main entrypoint is src/coffeescripts/Main.coffee.
Styling is implemented using Stylus.
src/stylesheets/main.styl contains the main stylesheets and src/stylesheets/mixins.styl contains the mixin-functions.
Hogan.js is used as the template engine.
The main site templates are in src/views and all others are in src/templates.
For the NodeJS portion please have a look at app.coffee and routes/index.coffee.
Unit tests are build on top of Mocha and should.
$ make tdd
Verve notifies whenever a file has been recompiled or tests are passing/failing whenever a file is changed.
For Growl notifications support install growlnotify.
On OS X 10.8, Notification Center is supported using terminal-notifier. To install:
$ sudo gem install terminal-notifier
The CasperJS tests are still experimental and work in progress.
$ brew install casperjs
$ make casper
In order to run the tests you need to specify environment variables for the test user:
export LOGGER_TEST_USER=<test user username>
export LOGGER_TEST_PASS=<test user password>
The tests run a headless browser and take screenshots which can be found in the temp directory.
CoffeeLint is used as CoffeeScript linting engine.
Config file: test/config/coffeelint.coffee
Run it with:
$ make lint
Right now you see lots of errors for Line ends with trailing whitespace. This is caused by the way we document the code using docco and there is an enhancement request file.
Docs are generated using docco and Pygments.
sudo easy_install Pygments
make docs
Open the docs folder and find the source code documentation for each class.
