Features

* Application can be run in a local http server, or emulated/released to Android/iOS
* A lot of useful gulp tasks, like:
* gulp - watch for changes + browser-sync (http server with livereload) + weinre debugger
* gulp cordova:emulate:ios - run application in iOS emulator
* gulp cordova:run:android - run application on Android's devise
* Run gulp help or see gulp/tasks.coffee for more information about all tasks
* Useful hooks and tweaks, which allow you to deploy your cordova app out-of-the-box
* SASS + CoffeeScript + Jade combo
Support for multiple environments, like development, staging, production* (configuration available in gulpfile.coffee)
* Tests configured and working: unit (karma + mocha) and end to end (protractor)
* Rollbar support (configured, working in angular functions and support for uploading the sourcemaps to Rollbar server)

Requirements

* NodeJS
* Cordova 4.2+
* Android or iOS SDK installed and configured (required only if you want to deploy the app to native mobile platforms - you can run gulp server without that)

How to install

``
git clone jtomaszewski/ionicstarter-mobile
cd ionicstarter-mobile
git submodule update --init --recursive

install dependencies


npm install
npm install -g gulp
bower install
brew install imagemagick # or apt-get install imagemagick, if you're on linux

gulp # build www/ directory and run http server on 4440 port
`

If you get "too many files" error, try: ulimit -n 10000. You may want to add this line to your .bashrc / .zshrc / config.fish.




What does the gulp build do?

More or less:

* All .scss, .coffee, .jade files from app/ will be compiled and copied to www/
* All .ejs files from assets/ will be compiled to www/.
* All other files from assets/ will be copied to www/.

For detailed description, see gulpfile.coffee.

P.S. www/ is like dist/ directory for Cordova. That's why it's not included in this repository, as it's fully generated with gulp.




Testing

Requirements: installed PhantomJS and configured selenium standalone webdriver.

#### Unit tests (karma & PhantomJS/Chrome)

`
gulp test:unit # using PhantomJS
gulp test:unit --browsers Chrome # or using Google Chrome
`

#### e2e tests (protractor & selenium)

`
gulp # your www/ directory should be built and served at :4400 port
node_modules/.bin/webdriver-manager start & # run selenium server in the background

gulp test:e2e # finally, run e2e tests
`




How to run on mobile?

I recommend tmux for handling multiple terminal tabs/windows ;)

1. Copy .envrc.android-sample or .envrc.ios-sample to .envrc and configure it.

* Ofcourse, if you're a Mac user and you can compile both Android and iOS on the same machine, you can include all the variables from both of these files in only one .envrc .

* Also, make sure you have all the keys and certificates needed stored in keys/android/ and keys/ios/:

* keys/android/ionicstarter.keystore
* keys/ios/ionicstarter_staging.mobileprovision
* keys/ios/ionicstarter_production.mobileprovision

2. Ensure, you have configured ios/android platform with Cordova, f.e. by running gulp cordova:platform-add:[ios|android].

3. Run gulp cordova:emulate:[ios|android] or gulp cordova:run:[ios|android].

Releasing to appstores

First, generate the certificate keys:

#### Android

1. Generate .keystore file:
keytool -genkey -v -keystore keys/android/$ANDROID_KEYSTORE_NAME.keystore -alias $ANDROID_ALIAS_NAME -keyalg RSA -keysize 2048 -validity 10000

#### iPhone

1. Create a certificate and a provisioning profile, as it's described here.

2. Download the provisioning profile and copy it into keys/ios/, so it will match the IOS_PROVISIONING_PROFILE file set up in the gulpfile.coffee.

Then, generate the application and deploy it to the webserver with:

`
gulp release:[ios|android] --env=[staging|production]
