Getting Started

Install Dependencies

First, install the following if you don't already have them installed.

npm install -g cordova ionic      // installs ionic framework and cordova dependency
npm install -g bower              // installs bower globally
npm install -g gulp               // installs gulp globally
npm install -g jasmine            // installs jasmine globally
npm install -g jasmine-node       // (if using our server repo) installs jasmine-node globally

Next, run the following commands to install all the required dependencies.

npm install
bower install

Transit Data Api

For our transit data, we are relying on the nextbus api. Since nextbus only publishes this data as an XML feed, we are using the restbus library (a rest abstraction over the nextbus xml feed). Feel free to fork our api server or roll your own using the restbus library.

Server for authentication & other services (optional)

We've also set up a node server with a postgres database to use for user authentication and any other services you'd like to add in the future. Feel free to fork it. We used the sequelize ORM to interact with our postgres database. To easily install postgres on your local machine, take a look at the Postgres App.

Deployment & Continuous Integration

Set up deployment environment

For easy deployment and integration with Travis CI (see below), consider using Heroku for deployment. If you are not familiar with Heroku, check out their [Getting Started with Node.js] guide. (https://devcenter.heroku.com/articles/getting-started-with-nodejs#introduction)

Note: if you are using our server repo and would like to add a postgres database service hosted on heroku, make sure you add your postgres server as an addon in the resources page of your heroku server. If you try to add a postgres service from the databases section of your heroku dashboard, heroku will spin up a new server for this postgres service which won't be accessible from your original server.

Set up continuous integration

We are using Travis Ci. For this report there is no automated deployment. However, npm test is run on Travis Ci every time a pull request is submitted and when a pull request is merged into the master branch. After you fork a copy of this repo, you will need to setup your own Travis account.

1. Visit https://travis-ci.org and create an account.
2. Open your Organization inside Travis Ci
3. Sync your Organization
4. Turn on your newly forked repository
5. Verify Permissions
6. Visit https://github.com/ 1. Click Organization settings 1. Click Third-party access 1. Verify Travis Ci is Approved
7. Visit https://github.com///settings/hooks 1. Verify Travis Ci is an added Service
8. Update the first line of this document to follow this format

Testing

While developing, try using the

ionic serve --lab

command to test the app in your browser

We've installed a number of testing suites for you to use as you wish. These include:

Unit tests - Jasmine / Karma

The unit test spec files can be found at www/spec/unit. To run these tests (as well as jshint), run the following in your terminal window from the project root directory.

npm test

e2e tests - Protractor

The end-to-end test spec files can be found at www/spec/e2e. To run these tests, run the following the the terminal from the project root directory.

gulp protractor
