Sample Application with Ionic 2 and Salesforce

December 8, 2016 in Angular 2, Ionic, Salesforce

A few weeks ago, I shared a version of the DreamHouse sample application built with the latest release candidate of Ionic 2. The app came with two interchangeable implementations of the data services: Mock and REST. Since then I’ve been working on ForceJS 2, a JavaScript library for the Salesforce REST APIs. ForceJS 2 is now built on ECMAScript 6, uses modules and promises, and integrates seamlessly with Angular 2 and Ionic 2.

In this post, I’ll share the same DreamHouse application using a Salesforce back-end, as an example of using ForceJS 2 to access Salesforce from an Ionic 2 application. The application is built with the Salesforce Mobile SDK and the latest release candidate of Ionic 2

    Thank you for the example. I followed the readme.md (short of ionic cordova install, already installed) instructions and got the following error. Thoughts?
    ionic serve

    Hi Christophe,

    I am trying to run this with the latest version of ionic, but I get the following error:
    “TypeError: AppScripts.serve is not a function”. Can you please help?

    • Kanav

      Hi Christophe,

      I was able to get this to work, however now I’m facing some issues with App performance:
      1) On the Property and Broker List views, the images take some time to load
      2) On the Property and Broker Detail pages, the data placeholders load first, followed by a slight delay, and then the actual Data loads.

      Would you have any recommendations on getting around this please?

      Thanks!

    Hi Christophe, I have an issue in authentication part. After authentication, my callback is not being called. I have done it as following:

    let appId = ‘value of Consumer Key’;
    let loginURL = ‘https://login.salesforce.com/’;
    let oauthCallbackURL = ‘http://localhost:8100/callback’;

    let oauth = OAuth.createInstance(appId, loginURL, oauthCallbackURL);
    console.log(‘=============oauth: ‘, oauth)

    oauth.login().then(oauthResult => {
    //this part is not called after authentication
    DataService.createInstance(oauthResult);
    console.log(“Logged Into Salesforce Successfully”);
    });

    In pop-up URL i can see the access token but not able to use that because it is not going to callback part. Please suggest where i am missing. I am able to login through pop-up, but pop-up is not closing after successful/unsuccessful authentication.

      Hi Prashant,

      I am facing the same issue. My Auth callback is not being called. Were you able to find a solution?

        Hi Prashant,

        Any solution?

    • Gautam Choudhary

      Hi Prashant,
      I am facing same issue. If you find any solution please guide.

      • Prashant Kumar Srivastava

        Hi Gautam,
        I have resolved this issue by placing oauthcallback.html in root directory(in the same directory of index.html). You can find this file under app directory of this git repository.

        Content of this file is:

        var event = new CustomEvent(“oauthCallback”, {“detail”: window.location.href});
        window.opener.document.dispatchEvent(event);
        window.close();

        • Gautam Choudhary

          Thanks Prashant for you response. It’s working find with iOS but not with android.

          regards,
          Gautam

          • Prashant Kumar Srivastava

            You need this authcallback.html for desktop browsers. For mobile devices only callbackURL in your JS should match to the callbackURL mentioned at salesforce connected app(I am not sure, but make sure your callbackURL is same at both places).

    Hi All,

    Can anyone please help me. On running this app in the android emulator, I see a run time error, but no more info. The home screen opens to this error and the popup for login does not open. After the run time error occurs, the logs show this:

    [17:52:47] console.log: Angular 2 is running in the development mode. Call enableProdMode() to enable the production
    mode.
    [17:52:48] console.warn: Native: deviceready did not fire within 2000ms. This can happen when plugins are in an
    inconsistent state. Try removing plugins from plugins/ and reinstalling them.
    [17:52:48] console.log: DEVICE READY FIRED AFTER 3149 ms

    After this the properties page and others don’t open due to salesforce not being logged in.

    Any help would be appreciated.
