grunt-eha-cordova-build

Usage

Set Up:

1. Install this module: npm install --save-dev grunt-eha-cordova-build

2. Install cordova-android platform. This is done locally, so each app can chose different versions shuold they want to. npm install --save-dev cordova-android

3. Generate the config.template.xml file: grunt ehaCordovaTemplate Modify config.template.xml after your needs. this file should be checked in in your version control.

4. In your gruntfile, add

  grunt.loadNpmTasks('eha-cordova-build');

  grunt.config.init({
    ehaCordovaBuild: {
      options: {
        appdir: 'build-test',
        package: 'com.ehealthafrica.{%= country %}.buildtest',
        appname: 'Build Test',
        // Adapt this to what your apps build system is
        buildCmd: 'grunt build:{%=type%}:{%=country%}:{%=rebuild%}'
      }
    }
  });

Note that you need to use different delimiters, to get past the grunt initial expansion. See more info about the 'buildCmd' below

1. Add a cordovaPlugins key in package.json, example

  "cordovaPlugins": {
    "cordova-plugin-crosswalk-webview": "^1.2.0",
    "cordova-plugin-dialogs": "^1.1.0",
    "cordova-plugin-google-analytics": "^0.7.1",
    "cordova-plugin-network-information": "^1.0.0",
    "cordova-plugin-vibration": "^1.1.0",
    "cordova-plugin-whitelist": "^1.0.0",
    "device-information": "https://github.com/vliesaputra/DeviceInformationPlugin",
    "phonegap-sms": "https://github.com/aharris88/phonegap-sms-plugin.git",
    "local-notifications": "https://github.com/sapk/cordova-plugin-local-notifications.git"
  },

1. build with grunt ehaCordovaBuild:snapshot:country

Cordova Plugins

Cordova plugins are installed via a 'cordovaPlugins' key in package.json. See example above.

App Version

The app version is read from package.json

The 'buildCmd'

The 'buildCmd' property could be any bash command, that produces a 'dist' directory in your root folder. The simplest possible would be cp -r app dist. As long as it produces this directory, it can also be grunt commands, or whatever you want to use.

Travis Build

This module does not provide you with a travis build script. However, here's an example:

set -e
 
info() { echo "$0: $1"; }
error() { info "$1"; exit 1; }
build() { info "Performing $1 build"; }
skip() { info "${1}. Skipping build."; exit 0; }
 
[[ "$TRAVIS_PULL_REQUEST" == "false" ]] || {
  skip "This build was triggered by a pull request"
}
 
if [[ "$TRAVIS_TAG" ]]; then
  BUILD_STAGE="release"
elif [[ "$TRAVIS_BRANCH" == "develop" ]]; then
  BUILD_STAGE="snapshot"
elif [[ "$TRAVIS_BRANCH" == "staging" ]]; then
  BUILD_STAGE="staging"
else
  skip "Unsupported branch $TRAVIS_BRANCH and/or untagged commit"
fi
 
# Only build sl right now 
grunt ehaCordovaBuild:$BUILD_STAGE:sl
 
# throw away app directory, we just want the APKs 
rm -Rf build/biometrics

Note that the deletion of the bottom needs to be the same as the 'appdir' grunt option for ehaCordovaBuild
