Node version

Please install node v14.17.2 or above via nvm.

How to run this locally?

1. Install Ionic CLI: If you haven't already, follow the instructions here to install the Ionic CLI.
2. Install Dependencies: Run npm install in your terminal to install all the necessary dependencies.
3. Set Environment Variables: Add the environment files corresponding to the build you want in the environment folder.
4. Run Locally: Use the following command to run the application locally:

ionic serve -c env_name

Replace env_name with the name of the environment file you want to use. For example, if you have an environment file named staging, you would run:

ionic serve -c staging

IMPORTANT

For setting environment variables

• Ping mobile app team for environment files
• Add them inside the environments folder
• Note: Do not make any changes to the environment.ts file - this is a template folder for creating configurations. Also, make sure not to put staging envs in this file.
• If you are getting errors like this:

  Property 'LIVE_UPDATE_APP_VERSION' does not exist on type
  '{ production: boolean; NAME: string; CLUSTER_DOMAIN: string; ROOT_URL: string; ROUTER_API_ENDPOINT: string;
  ANDROID_CLIENT_ID: string; IP_FIND_KEY: string; GOOGLE_MAPS_API_KEY: string; FRESHCHAT_TOKEN: string;
  SENTRY_DSN: string; REFINER_NPS_FORM_ID: string; }'
  

  make sure you have the latest environment.staging.ts file.

For creating pull requests

• Ping mobile app team for write access to the repository

Running unit tests

• Run ng test
• Run npm run test:no-parallel to run tests without sharding (without parallel browsers). This is useful to avoid parallel execution and to prevent excessive CPU utilization and memory hogging.

Viewing coverage report

After running the tests, you can view the test coverage report by following these steps:

• Open generated index.html file present in the app/coverage/index.html.
• Metrics Explanation: In this file you would see 4 metrics for the files you have changed
  • Statements: Percentage of executed statements.
  • Branches: Percentage of executed branches (e.g., conditions in if, else, switch statements, &&, ||, ? operators used).
  • Functions: Percentage of executed functions.
  • Lines: Percentage of executed lines of code.
• To increase code coverage write additional test cases to cover the missing Metrics.

For running app directly in android device for staging

• ionic capacitor run android -l --external --configuration=staging It will open android studio, let it build index file and Gradle build for sometime Then check that studio recognized the right device in the top bar.

For running app directly in ios device for staging

• Add .env file to project (ping mobile app team for the file)

• run ionic build --staging
• npx cap sync
• npx cap open ios
• In Xcode, select the connected device from the top bar and click on run button.

Push Notifications

iOS

• Add this line ios/App/Podfile file (open via code editor, not xcode)
  • (After this line -> # Add your Pods here)
    • pod 'FirebaseCore'
    • pod 'Firebase/Messaging'
• Run this from terminal
  • npx cap update ios
• Add these lines ios/App/App/AppDelegate.swift file
  • (After this line -> import Capacitor)
    • import FirebaseCore
    • import FirebaseInstanceID
    • import FirebaseMessaging
  • FirebaseApp.configure() (After this line -> // Override point for customization after application launch.)
  • Update the application_ function after #if USE_PUSH as described below

    func application(_ application: UIApplication, didRegisterForRemoteNotificationsWithDeviceToken deviceToken: Data) {
          Messaging.messaging().apnsToken = deviceToken
          InstanceID.instanceID().instanceID { (result, error) in
              if let error = error {
                  NotificationCenter.default.post(name: Notification.Name(CAPNotifications.DidFailToRegisterForRemoteNotificationsWithError.name()), object: error)
              } else if let result = result {
                  NotificationCenter.default.post(name: Notification.Name(CAPNotifications.DidRegisterForRemoteNotificationsWithDeviceToken.name()), object: result.token)
              }
          }
      }

  • Now open Xcode and enable Push notifications from sigining and capabilites if it is not enabled.
