Open Beauty Facts Cordova mobile app (DEPRECATED, still in production on iOS)
==========================

This application is based on [Apache Cordova](https://cordova.apache.org/)
framework which allows you to develop for multiple platforms (iOS, Android,
Firefox OS for a few of them) at the same time.

# Build
Here are the steps to build and test the application. Be aware that it's an
alpha version at the moment.

First, clone it.

Then, will need [Apache Cordova](https://cordova.apache.org/) installed and you
may use a [Firefox Developer
Edition](https://www.mozilla.org/fr/firefox/developer/) on version 39 at least;
it provides developing tools for Cordova framework.

To install [Apache Cordova](https://cordova.apache.org/), you can use Node
Package Manager.

```
npm install -g cordova
```

Install also the platforms you need. For example

```
cordova platform add firefoxos
```

Use `cordova platform` to know which platform you can install.

Now, run Firefox Developer Edition and open WebIDE (Shift+F8). Click *Projects*
and *Open Packaged App...* and find the cloned repository of `cordova-app`. You
should now have the application opened in WebIDE and you can run it into a
Firefox OS simulator or onto your FirefoxOS phone.

## Barcode scanner

You may also have to install [Apache Cordova](https://cordova.apache.org/) plugin for barcode scanning.

```
cordova plugin add com.phonegap.plugins.barcodescanner
```

However, this plugin is not compatible with Firefox OS (see [sources on
Github](https://github.com/wildabeast/BarcodeScanner)). It seems that there is
no barcode scanner plugin for Cordova (see
[here](http://plugreg.com/search?q=barcode#platform=firefoxos)).
