Belfast Prayer Times App

A very simple application that shows today's prayer times (including a countdown to the next prayer) as well as monthly prayer times.

Uses Belfast Islamic Centre's prayer time table.

Built using Ionic Framework in a day. Read the blog post for more information.

Requirements

• Install node and bower.
• Install ionic framework npm install -g cordova ionic

Building and running

1. Run npm install && bower install.
2. Run ionic platform add [ios|android].
3. Run ionic serve to run in the browser for development mode.
4. Run ionic build and ionic emulate [ios][android] to run in an emulator.
5. Run npm test to run unit tests

Roadmap

We can take this as far as we want :) Here are some ideas and implemented features:

• Show today's prayer times with count down for next prayer
• Show this month's prayer times
• Show any month's prayer times (let user select month to view)
• Unit testing and continues builds with travis
• Better dist builds (concatenation and optimization)
• Android/iOS Notifications when prayer is approaching
• Iqamah times
  • Allow user to set iqamah times manually (based on user input formula e.g. '5 minutes after adhan')
  • Display today's iqamah times
  • Iqamah reminders
  • Iqamah reminders based on distance from mosque and transport method :)
• Generalise for other masjids/time tables
• Distribute on web (so you don't need to download the app)
  • Offline access
  • Chrome web app
