  npm install -g ionic cordova
  

• Chrome to run the automated tests

Development

This section describes how to quickly set up your machine to contribute to the project.

Read the development guide for a more detailed technical introduction.

First-time setup

• Clone this repository:

  git clone https://github.com/MediaComem/biopocket-mobile.git
  

• Install the application's dependencies:

  cd biopocket-mobile
  npm ci
  

• Create your development environment's configuration file:

  cp src/environments/environment.sample.ts src/environments/environment.dev.ts
  

  Update the backendUrl property to the URL of a running BioPocket Backend.

Run the app in your browser

Run npm start (it will open your browser to visit http://localhost:8100/).

Run the automated tests

• npm run test:unit to run the unit tests
• npm run test:e2e to run the end-to-end tests (this requires additional setup)
• npm run test to run all tests (this requires additional setup for the end-to-end tests)

You can add :watch to each of these to automatically re-run the tests when files change (e.g. npm run test:unit:watch).

Tip: only use test:unit:watch to watch for changes. Using test:e2e:watch (or test:watch) is not very reliable because ionic serve and test:e2e:watch will both refresh when you make changes, and sometimes the end-to-end tests will run before ionic serve has had time to refresh the app.
