Cordova + Sling blog app

A simple blog app built with Cordova and powered by Sling.

Server

The server side components are based upon the espblog sample, with the small addition of a script to handle .json requests.

Requirements

As a first step, launch Sling.

The Sling Container can be launched by running the following command in the launchpad/builder/target directory: $ java -jar org.apache.sling.launchpad--standalone.jar so if the current version is 7, the command should be: $ java -jar org.apache.sling.launchpad-7-standalone.jar

This launches sling on the default port: 8080.

Install

Install path-based-rtp first:

$ cd server/path-based-rtp
$ mvn clean install -P autoInstallBundle

Next, install espblog:

$ cd ../espblog
$ mvn clean install -P autoInstallBundle

Verify

To verify that the bundle is correctly installed:

1. http://localhost:8080/apps/espblog/html.esp must return the html.esp script.

2. Log in by visiting http://localhost:8080/?sling:authRequestLogin=true, using username=admin and password=admin

3. The console at http://localhost:8080/system/console/bundles must list both the following bundles as active:

   Apache Sling ESP blog sample (org.apache.sling.samples.espblog) Apache Sling Sample Path Based Resource Type Provider (org.apache.sling.samples.path-based.rtp)

How to blog (from your browser)

Head to http://localhost:8080/content/espblog/*.html. Use the 'New Post' link on the left to create a new post.

App

Requirements

• node.js version >=0.10.x
• Cordova CLI version >=3.5.*
• (iOS only) Xcode version >=5.1.*
• (iOS only) ios-sim
• (Android only) Apache Ant
• (Android only) Android SDK
• (cloud build only) PhoneGap Build account

Build

If you have the build toolchain installed (Android users: replace ios with android):

$ cordova platform add ios
$ cordova build ios

Run

$ cordova emulate ios

Check out the Cordova CLI docs for more details, including installing onto a device.

PhoneGap Build

Alternatively, use PhoneGap Build to build the app for a number of platforms in the cloud (note: some platforms require keys to be uploaded beforehand):

1. Log in to PhoneGap build using your Adobe ID
2. Tap the '+ new app' button
3. Enter the URL to this github repository (https://github.com/blefebvre/cordova-sling-blog-sample)
4. Tap 'Pull from .git repository'
5. When it finishes fetching, tap 'Ready to build'
6. Once each platform finishes compiling you may scan the QR code with a device to download and install your app.
