Loader for web and Cordova app. The loader will load the files based on a manifest file and creates the relevant DOM nodes to load and start the app.

If using in an Cordova App, the following plugins are required:

• cordova-plugin-advanced-http
• cordova-plugin-statusbar (optional)
• phonegap-istablet (optional)

npm run build - Build ts-loader.js and ts-loader.min.js

npm run start - For development

The loader need a manifest file to determine what files to load.

The manifest file should be named app-manifest.json. It should contains the following ďata: ̌

• manifestVersion - the current version of the manifest
• domNodes - an array of file path and file type that will be append to the document (js or css file)

Example:

{
  "manifestVersion": "2.1.0",
  "domNodes": [
    {
      "path": "scripts/test.js",
      "type": "js",
      "optional": true,
      "module": true // for ES6 module
    }
    {
      "path": "assets/app.js",
      "type": "js"
    },
    {
      "path": "assets/app.css",
      "type": "css"
    }
  ]
}

Config can be passed via data attributes.

<script
  type="text/javascript"
  src="scripts/ts-loader.js"
  data-app-host="https://mobile.app.example.com"
  data-app-host-tablet="https://app.example.com"
  data-status-bar-background-color="#282828"
></script>

The available config are:

Here is the DOM structure of the loader screen

<div id="ts-splash-screen">
  <div id="ts-splash-logo">
    <div id="ts-splash-icon-container">
      <div id="ts-splash-overlap"></div>
      <div id="ts-splash-icon"></div>
      <div id="ts-splash-loader"></div>
    </div>
    <div id="ts-splash-logo-text"></div>
  </div>
</div>

If an error occurs then the following is appended to the body

<div id="loader-error">
  <div id="loader-error-message">
    An unexpected error occurred, please try again.
  </div>
  <button id="error-reload-button">Reload</button>
</div>

We removed the useLocalCache functionality in v4 which uses unmaintained plugins cordova-file-cache and cordova-plugin-file-transfer, utilizing browser cache should be sufficient.

Please check the app and remove window.cordovaFileCache usage.
