Android app for Save-a-Selfie. Save a Selfie is an interactive mobile application that has been designed and developed to help members of the public pinpoint the location of emergency equipment in their local community.
The app is done in Ionic, which is a framework for mobile applications using AngularJS and Cordova. Phonegap Build is also used for creating the builds (WIP).
On the Angular side, John Papa's style guide is overall used. It's important to note that the code is organized in modules, mostly to keep it somewhat organized and make it easier to add new parts of the app. The main modules are the photo, locate. Their folders will be mostly self-contained, with all files for that feature in there. The common folder contains code that will be used by more than one feature.
Cordova plugins will be interfaced via ngCordova for easy of use.
Also before pushing code, a Plato report should be ran, to make sure everything is ok enough.
This project uses a couple of global npm packages. You can install all of them at once by running the following command:
npm install -g cordova ionic bower plato
Now you have to add js dependencies and restore cordova plugins:
bower install
cordova restore plugins --experimental
Finally, you can run ionic in the browser by doing ionic serve --labs,
which will open a browser window showing side by side comparison of how
the app looks like in Android and iOS.
To generate a Plato report do plato -r -d report www/js, and then open
up report/index.hml to see it.
Building for each platform locally is a bit harder, and to understand it better there's really no other option than to read the platform guides. Basically, you need to install the sdk for the platform prior to building it, and then you can build the app for emulator or real device.
