Combine yeoman/generator-angular and phonegap
You can see a demo application using grunt-angular-phonegap on dsimard/grunt-angular-phonegap-example
This plugin requires Grunt ~1.0.0
WARNING : This plugin is still in early alpha. I work on Ubuntu, other operating systems are not tested. Let me know if you need help by writing me at dsimard@azanka.ca.
First, make sure that you installed the proper SDK. Supported platforms are : Android, iOS and WindowsPhone
Globally install phonegap and yeoman/generator-angular :
npm install -g phonegap cordova generator-angular
Create your phonegap project :
phonegap create --name MyApp --id com.yourcompany.myapp myapp && cd myapp
Use the last version of phonegap by adding this line in myapp/www/config.xml
:
<preference name="phonegap-version" value="3.4.0" />
Initialize an angular application with yeoman :
yo angular [myapp]
Add this project to your package.json
:
npm install grunt-angular-phonegap --save-dev
Add a platform (android
, ios
, wp7
or wp8
) :
cordova platform add [platform]
Check that everything works well :
grunt phonegap:check
[platform]
supported are : android
, ios
, wp7
and wp8
. I only test with android
.
Default is always android
Check if your computer is ready for PhoneGap development.
Build the app locally in www
.
Use --no-bower
to avoid copying the bower_components
directory
Start an emulator. If there is one already running, it will be used.
Use :emulator
to specify an emulator already running.
Send the project to remotely build at http://build.phonegap.com.
NOTE : Before remotely building, you have to login by executing
phonegap remote login --username you@gmail.com --password YourPassword
You simply add <script src="cordova.js"></script>
and that's it. It will complain that the file is not found when you're on your local server (via grunt serve
) but the script is injected when you'll build your project (grunt phonegap:build
), start an emulator (grunt phonegap:emulate
) or send it to build.phonegap (grunt phonegap:send
). By the way, you can use <script src="phonegap.js"></script>
.
Do not copy cordova.js
from another directory!
In a business environment, I wouldn't mind that much. Clients want a mobile app for their need, they don't really care if it feels native or not. I would suggest bootstrap3
For customers, I would suggest ionic
$ brew update
$ brew install ant
$ android update sdk
