# Droplets: a simple Digital Ocean Droplet manager

Experimental hybrid app (HTML/JS wrapped in a native app with WKWebview), build with Swift.
I chose to use the Digital Ocean API as a use case.

Idea:

- Run local webserver in nodejs, which serves static files (HTML/JS/CSS)
- Load static site, build with AngularJS, in a webview embeded in a native OS X app

So, Droplets is essentially a OS X app build with Angular.

The app shows your Digital Ocean droplets.

Consider this an alpha version. This project is not activly maintained. I make no guarantees or warranties whatsoever.

##Building/Running

- Make sure NodeJS is installed and runnable from `/usr/local/bin/node`. A NodeJS script serves statics files to the WKWebview in the app.
- Build the project in XCode. (tested wit 6.1.1)
- After startup, you need to enter your Digital Ocean oAuth token in the settings screen (cog wheel icon). You need a token with read+write access.

Note: Breaking changes are introduced regularly in the Swift language. This project might not be up to date with the latest version.
