Requirements

• Node 0.12.x or >= 4.3
• Postgresql >= 9.4.6
• Ionic >= 1.7.14

Important: Before you can get started with Cordova Android or iOS dev, you must set up your workstation in accordance with the Cordova Android and iOS platform guides.

Development

Installing Dependencies

From within the root directory:

$ npm install -g cordova ionic
$ cordova platform rm ios
$ cordova platform add ios@4.1.0
$ ionic browser add crosswalk@12.41.296.5
$ npm install

Database

Create your database:

# CREATE DATABASE thesis;

By default, Black Mamba will connect to the thesis database on localhost. An alternate database url can be set via process.env.DATABASE_URL.

Upon booting the server for the first time, your schema will be created and all migrations will be run.

Booting the Server

Development:

From the root:

$ npm start (from the root)

Production:

$ node server/server.js

Configuring the Client

The client can be set up to connect to different servers, and this configuration is managed by gulp. To connect to localhost, run gulp dev. Follow the model in appsettings.js (in the root directory) and gulpfile.js to add your own urls/corresponding gulp tasks to connect to another server.

All api calls to the black mamba server from the client must use Config.api as the base url.

Important: npm start automatically runs gulp dev. This can be changed in package.json, or you can simply run your custom gulp task after kicking off npm start.

Launching the Client

From client/:

Desktop Browser:

$ ionic serve -lab

iOS Simulator

$ ionic build ios; ionic emulate ios

Android Emulator

$ ionic build android; ionic emulate android

iOS Device

Xcode

Android Device

$ ionic build android; ionic run android

Adding New Dependencies

Server and database dependencies should be installed with npm from the root. Client-side dependencies should be installed with npm or bower from the client directory.
