Synopsis

Mide is an Ionic mobile application that allows anyone to complete coding challenges or code offline. It features a customizable keyboard bar that can insert pre-defined code snippets to write with ease.

Motivation

The motivation for this project is to create an environment for individuals to learn and tackle coding challenges without a stable internet connection. Currently we only support JavaScript coding challenges.

Code Structure

The repository is split into two folders:

####mide This contains the mobile application. View folder development to view the Angular code compiled by Ionic for native (iOS).

####server This is the Node backend server deployed to Heroku that the native application will access.

Installation

The native application is available through Ionic View. We will release a App ID shortly for viewing the project.

To emulate this app:

1. Clone this repo
2. npm and bower install in the mide folder
3. Install ionic CLI : npm install -g cordova ionic
4. In terminal: ionic emulate ios

Alternatively to deploy to Ionic View app:

1. Sign up for an account at ionic.io
2. Get Ionic View app on Apple Store
3. Follow steps 1-3 above
4. In Terminal: ionic upload -Note: you will be prompted for your ionic username and password
5. Log into your account on Ionic View account and load app
