NodeJs Mobile Example Cordova App with AngularJs

An AngularJs Cordova project that uses the Node.js for Mobile Apps Cordova plugin library.

The sample app runs the Node.js engine in the Cordova to start an HTTP and socket.io server on port 8081 and sends data periodically.

Pre-requisites

Note the instructions for the Cordova app on Janea's site

This sample also uses bower, gulp and ios-deploy to build and run. These can be installed through npm:

 $ npm install -g bower
 $ npm install -g gulp-cli
 $ npm install -g ios-deploy

How to run: Clone and Install Dependencies

Clone this repository and install the development dependencies (e.g. gulp), NodeJs mobile packages, and AngularJs packages.

NOTE: All commands in the next sections should be executed on macOS, using a Terminal in the nodejs-mobile-samples/cordova-angularjs unless otherwise noted.

 $ npm install

Dev and Test

You can develop and test the AngularJs and NodeJs code in a web browser and standard NodeJs server. Several gulp scripts are provided to help with development and testing:

  • gulp serve:sync

    • Starts a "normal" NodeJs server and launches the AngularJs app in a web browser
    • Uses browser sync and nodemon for live reload of both the server and app

  • gulp build

    • Builds the NodeJs server and AngularJs app into the cordova/www folder

  • gulp clean

    • Cleans the NodeJs server and AngularJs app from the cordova/www folder

  • npm run jshint

    • Runs jshint on the NodeJs and AngularJs code

Setup and Build Cordova App

Setup the Cordova App using the same instructions for the Cordova app on Janea's site

A script is provided for these steps:

 $ npm run setup-cordova

If you get a Plugin doesn't support this project's cordova-ios version. cordova-ios: X.X.X, failed version requirement: <4.5.0 warning for cordova-plugin-console, the plugin will be skipped but the sample will still work, as the plugin was integrated in cordova-ios versions >=4.5.0.

The output app is in the ./cordova/ExampleCordovaAngular folder.

Next, run a build to copy the NodeJs and AngularJs files to the cordova/www folder:

 $ gulp build

iOS Instructions

Open the Cordova app project in Xcode:

 $ open cordova/ExampleCordovaAngular/platforms/ios/HelloCordova.xcworkspace

In Xcode:

  • Select HelloCordova to view the project settings
  • In the General settings:
    • In the Signing section, select a team to sign the app
    • In the Deployment Info section, select Deployment Target 11.0 or higher

Go back to the Terminal window to build the Cordova app.

 $ cd cordova/ExampleCordovaAngular
 $ cordova build ios --device
 or XCode 11.5
 $ cordova build ios --device --buildFlag="-UseModernBuildSystem=0"

Go back to Xcode:

  • Select a target device for the project
  • Run the project
  • The app itself will show the sequence of events; these events are also output to the console

Android Instructions

With your device connected, run the following commands from terminal:

 $ cd cordova/ExampleCordovaAngular
 $ cordova run android

The app itself will show the sequence of events; these events are also output to logcat

On newer versions of Cordova, clear text http connections might not be allowed, for which you might have to add android:usesCleartextTraffic="true" in the application tag inside "AndroidManifest.xml".

Starting Over

If you want to clean out the cordova app and start over, use gulp clean:cordova. Then start over with the instructions in this section.
