framework/ ... Any framework (non app specific code) javascript/ .. Cordova JavaScript (built from the cordova-js project) bin/ ......... Scripts for project creation
Firefox OS is an open source operating system for smartphones and tablet computers being developed by Mozilla. It is designed to allow HTML5 applications to integrate directly with the device's hardware using JavaScript.
cordova-b2g allows developers to use the cross platform APIs in Cordova to target the Firefox OS. Most APIs are just proxied to the matching Firefox OS API calls.
A lot of good documentation is available on the Mozilla Developer Network
A simulator (runs as a Firefox plugin) is availble here
Cloning the cordova-b2g repository always provides you with the latest (EDGE) version of the Cordova code. To clone the repository, do the following:
$ cd ~/some/path $ git clone https://github.com/gtanner/cordova-b2g.git
The Cordova developer tooling is split between general tooling and project level tooling. Currently the tooling will only work on OSX or Linux.
./bin/create [path appname] ...... creates a sample app with the specified path
Create the example project and build it to the first device:
./bin/create cd example ./cordova/debug
This will start up a web server on port 8008 and ask you to navigate your phone or simulator to http://localhost:8008/install.html. This is really only needed to install like you would from an app store.
You may also use the simluator and Add the www directory to it (point at the manifest.webapp) in that folder. This will allow you to refresh the app easier when developing.
./bin/create ~/Desktop/myapp MyApp
These commands live in a generated Cordova B2G project.
./cordova/run ............................ install to a connected device or simulator ./cordova/build .......................... build project, but do not deploy to simulator or device
There is currently no way to automate installing to the simulator or device so we are currently just hosting an install.html file on the webserver hosting the app that you can point your device/simulator to and install the app. Once more commandline tools become available this will probably change.
