In Browser Testing

• While intended for use as a mobile app, this can be testing locally in a browser such as Chrome, using the server.js file in [project dir]/server
• Simply run node ./server/server.js
• Open chrome and navigate to http://localhost:3000. Use develper tools to enable mobile emulation in order to interact with the app.

Cordova Build

• Install corova cli tools: npm install -g cordova

• To test on emulator run cordova run --emulator

  • This assumes you have cordova and android sdk configured, if so an Android emulator will be launched (https://cordova.apache.org/docs/en/latest/guide/platforms/android/).

• To test on phone run: cordova run --device

• To build for production run:

cordova build android --release -- --keystore="/home/chris/key_stores/android_release_key_Store.keystore" --alias=android_release_key_store --storePassword={storePassword} --password={keyPassword-Same-As-Store}
