I am currently building a mobile app using angularJS, on plunker. The app once complete will be used on iPhone and android devices and will need to be able to access the camera and scan a QR code.
What i'm struggling with is how to go about this. I have done some research and found a lot of github solutions such as -
https://github.com/sembrestels/angular-qr-scanner
https://github.com/blockchain/bc-qr-reader
However I am unsure of how to add these to a plunker built app or if it is even possible?
One idea I have had whilst looking online is to make use of HTML5 and getusermedia to access a devices camera. Although then using this to scan a QR code is quite beyond me.
I am quite new to all this, and if I am honest not very confident at all. Any recommendations will be greatly appreciated.
I'm trying to include a dashboard in my existing website. I have seen multiple themes and github projects but still not convinced with the right framework/theme to go for my project. I can use themes but that gives me lesser flexibility to change things. At same time, I want to build my dashboard faster.
Can anyone out here please help me how to get this done ?
I found following links on searching through internet. But a bit confused.
https://github.com/rdash/rdash-angular
https://github.com/sdorra/angular-dashboard-framework
http://startbootstrap.com/template-overviews/sb-admin/
There are many more I'm sure....
Open questions:
1. Can anyone give me suggestions about how exactly how can I go with
development to make things faster ?
2. Is there any existing framework for same which can help me in rapid development ?
3. If not, then are there any small node.js packages, then can accomplish smaller tasks for me ?
4. Are there any good tutorials/blogs to go about building basic dashboard? Adding/Removing features can be done later.
Your inputs are welcome.
Thanks
I am currently developing a help section (web-app) using angular.js to represent something pretty close to this https://help.instagram.com/
I have several pages which discuss's several aspects of the product at hand. Now, i am stuck with trying to implement a in app search feature so that users can simply search for something that they may be looking for.
Some heads up with where i could start and what i should be doing would be really helpful! Thanks a ton guys :)
I am writing an BlackBerry app and I need to scrape about 50+ websites for data.
Does anyone know of any good client-side solutions that I can use ? I dont want to build a backend just for this.
I actually wrote a blog posting about this a while back. The example uses screen-scraper, but the principles would apply regardless of what you decide to use for your scraping solution. I deliberately wrote the posting to be relatively agnostic toward specific technologies, so it it will at least hopefully give you a few ideas.
Ext JS is a nice framework for web UI, but I found that building and putting stuff together takes a long time and painfully slow.
This might be a general problem when working with JavaScript, but does anybody have any way to speed things up?
What can I use? Better IDE with good JavaScript suppport? GUI designers? Code generators?
I need some way to speed up common things like building grids and forms but yet let me do complex things like creating custom components easily.
I'm using ASP.NET MVC. Coolite seems nice at first, but I feel that I'll be having trouble when creating any custom components later on.
There's always Ext GWT, which lets you use Eclipse tooling (and all of the advantages that gives you, such as refactoring, swift code navigation, etc.) to create your Ext/JavaScript app.
When you download the ExtJs library, you find lot of sample applications for common requirements like Grid panel, forms, form elements etc.
Regarding IDEs, you dont find mature productive tools, but check the below link and wish it could be of help to you
http://www.extjs.com/blog/2008/02/01/ides-plugins-and-tools-for-ext-js-20/
But if you really wish to develop custom components, you need to get through knowledge,start approaching with ExtJs-provided sample apps.
If you want to get faster at anything, practice it until you fully understand how it works and how to make it do what you want. If you are just starting out, why would expect to be able to work as quickly as you do when you are working on something that you are very familiar with?
Things I use to make ExtJS less painful
Chrome, for it's developer tools, or Firefox with Firebug.
snipMate: snippets for Vim, so I can quickly produce boiler plate code for classes.
JSLint as a command line tool. Especially good for detecting rogue commas.
Sencha forums.
ExtJS IRC chat (Server: irc.freenode.net Room: #extjs).
API documentation.
Sencha and Saki's ExtJS examples.
Beer.
ExtJS is building a designer right know so you can look forward it, the only problem I think is not gonna be free.
you can see a video demo there, in term of release date I think this is due to the first quarter of this year.
I say learn the framework. But to develop apps, I use IntelliJ IDEA, which has partial code completion, etc. It costs money though.
Once you have some practice and understanding of how ExtJS works, you'll get faster at it. By using the examples for reference, and building up my application in small pieces, I've gotten much better (and faster) at developing stuff with ExtJS. A great way to get started is to find an example (or two) that kind of do what you need, and modify (or combine) them to see how they work together.
