# Firefox OS Boilerplate App

This is a demo app for Firefox OS, loosely based on [fxosstub](https://github.com/Jaxo/fxosstub), meant to act as a simple boilerplate for getting started with apps for Firefox OS.

It will give you a button to install it in Firefox OS - on a device, in the [Firefox OS Simulator](https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/firefox-os-simulator/) ([Simulator Introduction](https://hacks.mozilla.org/2012/12/firefox-os-simulator-1-0-is-here/)) and in certain [Nightly versions of Firefox](http://nightly.mozilla.org/).

It is a showcase of:

* [Web Activities](https://hacks.mozilla.org/2013/01/introducing-web-activities/)

* [WebAPI usage](https://hacks.mozilla.org/2013/02/using-webapis-to-make-the-web-layer-more-capable/)

* Adding offline support and more in Firefox OS!

To add your own icon, I recommend using the [Firefox OS app icons style guide](http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/styleguide/products/firefoxos/icons/).

## Preview 

To test/install this app, download the code and run it on a web server, or navigate to [Firefox OS Boilerplate App](http://robnyman.github.com/Firefox-OS-Boilerplate-App/) in Firefox on a device or in the Firefox OS Simulator. 

Alternatively, install it in the Firefox OS Simulator Dashboard by providing either of these URLs:

* [http://robnyman.github.com/Firefox-OS-Boilerplate-App/](http://robnyman.github.com/Firefox-OS-Boilerplate-App/)

* [http://robnyman.github.com/Firefox-OS-Boilerplate-App/manifest.webapp](http://robnyman.github.com/Firefox-OS-Boilerplate-App/manifest.webapp)

## For Packaged Apps 

**Note:** If you use the Add Directory option in the Simulator, or if you are trying to package (zip) for a future upload in the marketplace, make sure to change `"launch_path": "/Firefox-OS-Boilerplate-App/index.html"` to `"launch_path": "index.html"` and the icon paths accordingly since it runs it as a packaged app directly from the root folder of the Firefox OS Boilerplate App.

You can test packaged apps in version 2 and higher of the Firefox OS Simulator, by using the Add Directory button. If you want to access privileged APIs - such as deviceStorage, cross-domain XMLHttpRequest etc - you need to set type and permissions in the manifest file. E.g.

    {

        "version": "1",

        "name": "Firefox OS Boilerplate App",

        "type" : "privileged"

        …

    

And:

    

    "permissions": {

        "device-storage:pictures": {

            "access": "readcreate"

        },

        "systemXHR":{}

    }

All options to test packaged apps are outlined in the [How to install packaged apps in Firefox OS – options and tools](https://hacks.mozilla.org/2013/03/how-to-install-packaged-apps-in-firefox-os-options-and-tools/) article
