## Development setup

1. Make sure you are running Node 8 (newer versions won’t work). It's easiest to switch Node versions using `nvm`, here’s how to do it:

    ```
    curl -o- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/creationix/nvm/v0.33.0/install.sh | bash

1. Open Android Studio and click on "Open an existing Android Studio project". Navigate to the drip repository you cloned and double click the android folder. It detects, downloads and cofigures requirements that might be missing, like the NDK and CMake to build the native code part of the project. Also see the [nodejs-mobile repository](https://github.com/janeasystems/nodejs-mobile) for the necessary prerequisites for your system.

1. Either start a [virtual device in Android Studio](https://developer.android.com/studio/run/emulator) or [set your physical device like your Android phone up](https://developer.android.com/training/basics/firstapp/running-app) to run the app.

1. In another tab, run `npm run log` to see logging output

1. Run `adb shell input keyevent 82` and select enable hot reloading (see https://facebook.github.io/react-native/docs/debugging.html)

1. We recommend installing an [ESLint plugin in your editor](https://eslint.org/docs/user-guide/integrations#editors). There's an `.eslintrc` file in this project which will be used by the plugin to check your code for style errors and potential bugs.

### Troubleshooting
#### [MacOS] Java problems

Make sure that you have Java 1.8 by running `java -version`.

If you don't have Java installed, or your Java version is different, the app may not work. You can try just using Android Studio's Java by prepending it to your `$PATH` in your shell profile:

bl00dymarie's avatar
bl00dymarie committed
```
export PATH="/Applications/Android Studio.app/Contents/jre/jdk/Contents/Home/bin:${PATH}"
```

Now, `which java` should output `/Applications/Android Studio.app/Contents/jre/jdk/Contents/Home/bin/java`, and the correct Java version should be used.

#### [MacOS] Ninja
If `npm` says `CMake was unable to find a build program corresponding to "Ninja".`:
    ```
    brew install ninja
    ```

### [MacOS] adb not on the path
If you get error messages about `adb` not being found on your path:
    ```
    ln -s ~/Library/Android/sdk/platform-tools/adb /usr/local/bin/adb
    ```

Unfortunately, the react native version we use doesn't work on Windows 10 it seems, find [more info here](https://github.com/facebook/react-native/issues/20015).

## Tests

emelko committed
You can run the tests with `npm test`.

## Debugging
bl00dymarie's avatar
bl00dymarie committed
In order to see logging output from the app, run `npm run log` in a separate terminal. You can output specific code you want to see, with:
`console.log(theVariableIWantToSeeHere)`
or just a random string to check if this piece of code is actually running:
`console.log("HELLO")`.

## Adding a new tracking icon
1. We use [fontello](http://fontello.com/) to create icon fonts for us. You need to upload the complete set of tracking icons (bleeding, mucus, ...) including the new icon you wish to add, all in SVG.
2. Download webfont from fontello
3. Copy both the content of `config.json` and `font.tff` into `assets/fonts`, replacing it with the current content of `config-drip-icon-font.json` and `drip-icon-font.tff`.
4. Now run the following command in your console:
`$ react-native link`
5. You should be able to use the icon now within drip, e.g. in Cycle Day Overview and on the chart.
