Salesforce just announced the return of the $1M Hackathon<\/a>, this time coming to their October 13th Dreamforce<\/a> conference.<\/p>\n

The hackathon runs from October 10th through the 12th. That means you have just two days<\/em> to build the best mobile app on Salesforce technology and win part of the $1M in prizes. You can’t afford to waste a minute on anything besides building a great unique experience on Salesforce!<\/p>\n

So, to help you get up and running as quickly as possible, we’ve partnered with the Salesforce team to bring you the [Ionic Salesforce Survival Kit](https:\/\/github.com\/driftyco\/ionic-starter-salesforce), a pre-configured Ionic app template complete with everything you need to connect to the Salesforce platform and build your UI.
\n<\/p>\n

Required knowledge<\/h3>\n

Don’t know native development? Perfect! Ionic apps use only web technologies like AngularJS and run on both iOS and Android without any extra work.<\/p>\n

To get the most out of the app, some experience with Javascript and HTML will be necessary, and if you know AngularJS that will also help (but isn’t required).<\/p>\n

Getting started<\/h3>\n

First, you’ll need to install Ionic and Cordova. Our Getting Started<\/a> page can help you with that. These tools let you create, build, test, and run your mobile apps in the browser and on your devices.<\/p>\n

We recommend doing this before<\/em> the Hackathon so there are no issues when the competition stars.<\/p>\n

Once everything is installed, test out the Ionic command to see if you can start and build an app:<\/p>\n

$ ionic start myApp salesforce\n$ cd myApp\n<\/code><\/pre>\n
This will create the project and download the Salesforce kit. Then, we need to add a Salesforce OAuth plugin:<\/p>\n
$ ionic plugin add https:\/\/github.com\/forcedotcom\/SalesforceMobileSDK-CordovaPlugin\n<\/code><\/pre>\n
Now we can configure our device platform and test the app!<\/p>\n
$ ionic platform add ios (or android for windows developers)\n$ ionic build ios\n$ ionic emulate ios\n<\/code><\/pre>\n
This should open the simulator with the real app running right on the phone, just like this:<\/p>\n
Note: for Android developers we recommend testing directly on the device, so substitute ionic emulate<\/code> for ionic run<\/code>. If you need help installing all the dependencies for Android development or are using a Windows computer, we recommend our Ionic Box<\/a> project which helps simplify the configuration of a development environment.<\/p>\n
Free Authentication<\/h3>\n
One of the hardest and most time consuming parts of app development is adding authentication. With the Ionic Salesforce Starter app, you get force.com authentication for free.<\/p>\n
All you need to do is edit the bootconfig.json<\/code> file and add your production force.com application information. If you don’t have a force.com application created yet, just create a new Connected App in salesforce and add the Connected App ID and Callback URI to the bootconfig.json<\/code> file.<\/p>\n
Where to go from here<\/h3>\n
If everything worked, you now have a ready-to-go template for building an Ionic app with AngularJS and the Salesforce platform. To learn more about how to use Ionic
\nand all of the components available, take a look at our docs<\/a>. For AngularJS help, take a look at the great Thinkster.io<\/a> tutorial on Angular, or Fullstack<\/a>, or egghead.io<\/a>.<\/p>\n
For more info on extending this starter project, take a look at the README<\/a> for the project.<\/p>\n
Good luck at the Hackathon!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
