The Messaging app and service for Lune OS, built with Enyo2 and node.js
The messaging app is one of the core applications of the operating system and allows you to send and receive messages through various backend services (IM, SMS, ...).
If you want to contribute you can just start with cloning the repository and make your contributions. We're using a pull-request based development and utilizing github for the management of those. All developers must provide their contributions as pull-request and github and at least one of the core developers needs to approve the pull-request before it can be merged.
Please refer to http://www.webos-ports.org/wiki/Communications for information about how to contact the developers of this project.
You can develop in the browser like a normal Enyo 2 web app - Messaging will use the data in db8SourceMock.js and the mock directory. You'll need node.js and enyo-dev: http://enyojs.com/docs/latest/developer-guide/getting-started/first-steps.html
After pulling this source code, start a bash shell, cd to the app directory, then run
enyo init
to pull in the dependencies.
To rebuild on any change (for developing in the browser), run this command once in the app directory:
enyo pack --watch
To test in a browswer (Chrome is most like LuneOS) surf to dist/index.html
To rebuild and install on a LuneOS device attached via USB, run this command in the app directory:
enyo pack && adb push dist /usr/palm/applications/org.webosports.app.messaging && adb shell systemctl restart luna-next; adb forward tcp:1122 tcp:1122
Then, in Chrome, surf to localhost:1122 to debug.
Open an im or sms URL. Like mailto URLs, this does not require a PalmBus call.
luna-send -n 1 luna://com.palm.applicationManager/open '{"target": "im:fred@aim.com?body=Let%27s%20do%20this%20thing!"}'
luna-send -n 1 luna://com.palm.applicationManager/open '{"target": "sms:1-501-555-1212?body=Hey%20babe"}'
When an incoming message arrives, a banner message is displayed. Tapping on the banner should call (the equivalent of) this:
luna-send -n 1 luna://com.palm.applicationManager/launch '{"id":"org.webosports.app.messaging", "params": { "threadId": 123456 }}'
