Thanks David!

Re: How To Log Errors In Your Ionic 2 App With Sentry

mark_ellul — Mon, 03 Apr 2017 07:34:14 -0000

Thanks, I have a app where I am trying to do a HTTP Request and I was hoping to send an Error to Sentry when the http request fails on the device. When I run it in the browser it works fine, but when I run it using Ionic View the request fails. So I thought Sentry would be a good match for this, especially because if the request fails it's a show stopper and the app cannot proceed (its a login).
So is there a way to send the HTTP Request Error to Sentry?

Hi Ashteya,

Can sentry be used for logging purposes? i.e. sending non exceptions to be logged?

Thanks for this post, it pushed me into the right direction of where I wanted to go, I have lots and lots of integration tests and I wanted to create separate rake tasks for.

Personally I find security a crucial function of the database and shield should be included for free. Funnily enough, if you trial it, they don't disable shield at the end of the trial!

Great Post, I am sure there are many devs who never submitted pull requests because they didn't know how!

Re: Google is reportedly planning to use its driverless cars to compete with Uber

it makes sense that google would want to do this on their own, G would want to distance itself from Uber's bad publicity

yes, and they make you jump through hoops to get to the pricing!

Elasticsearch has released a commercial offering as well called Shield, though the pricing is not obvious!

Re: Use Grunt To Lint And Uglify Your JavaScript Project

Nic,

I love the idea of the linter, do you think something like this https://www.npmjs.com/packa... would be good for ionic apps?

Re: Syncing Data With Dropbox Using Ionic Framework

mark_ellul — Mon, 15 Dec 2014 14:56:32 -0000

Thanks for responding quickly. I am very new to ionic, so I am trying to get my head around where the DropboxService.js would sit? (www/js/ ??). Also, how I could create it as a utility class, such that I am not including the app name in the invocation....
i.e
myDropboxApp.service("DropboxService", function($q, $ionicLoading) {

to
[in a re-usable util class]
var DropboxService = , function($q, $ionicLoading) {

[in the app.js ? or in the controller]

myApp.service("DropboxService", DropboxService);

etc....

I guess I need to understand the order of execution of files in a project to understand where would be the best place to load app wide code.

I think I may need to run through an end to end tutorial. Any suggestions?

Hi Nic, Do you have a git repo with all this code from this tutorial in an app?

Re: Syncing Data With Dropbox Using Ionic Framework

Great post! With the Dropbox datastore API, its a non centralised data store right? i.e. each end user will have access to their data, and will need to sign up to dropbox if they want to "sync" their data and none of that data will be shared to me the developer right? Also I noticed you didn't store files, have you had any experience with the cordova/phonegap plugins with ionic that do the storage?

Hi Nic,

Thanks, I already had your Dropbox Datastore API blog post open. I just subscribed by email to your blog, and am looking forward to the Firebase post. Do you know if Firebase offers file sync as well?

I did notice that the Dropbox Datastore API does have some limits on data sizes, specifically 100,000 records with a max datastore size of 10MB. Though in the short term I don't imagine that this would be a huge issue.

Considering that I would probably need to sync files as well. So Dropbox (using the Phonegap plugins per platform, https://github.com/rossmart... and https://github.com/ccoenrae... may be my best option, especially if it allows a mobile app without needing 100% connectivity all the time.

Thanks again for your comments

Re: Use ngStorage For All Your AngularJS Local Storage Needs

mark_ellul — Wed, 10 Dec 2014 14:11:41 -0000

Hi Nic,

I won't store the actual media in the database, they will be references to the local file system. But there will be text data and numerical data stored with the references.

The aim would be allow the user to move/sync their data (including files) from mobile to another mobile. When they lose or upgrade their phones, but not as a real time option.

Thanks for mentioning the Dropbox Datastore API, that seems like a perfect system to offload all the sync needs to them. https://www.dropbox.com/dev... looks like I could even go with them directly.

Firebase looks good as well, https://www.firebase.com/do... They might even go free considering they have joined Google.

Thanks again for all your ideas and Regards

Re: Use ngStorage For All Your AngularJS Local Storage Needs

mark_ellul — Tue, 09 Dec 2014 17:50:01 -0000

My end goal is to store a list of items with media that the user inputs, and selectively returning that list of items locally on the phone. SQLite makes the most sense for this model. The aim would be later to allow a user to save their data to the "cloud" via Parse or similar.

Hi, I just found your blog and love it! I am new to Angular and Ionic, and was looking at using SQLite until I found this post. How would I use ngStorage instead of or in complement with SQLite?

mark_ellul — Wed, 19 Mar 2014 06:46:29 -0000

Yes, it seems like too much hacking, Chewy has different use cases to my project, in my case its quite easy to just do it manually, my searches, will be done over JSON from a different system anyway.

mark_ellul — Wed, 19 Mar 2014 06:27:12 -0000

Thanks, but my tenants are database driven, so effectively. So I cannot predict my tenants at compile time, so I would need to generate index code when we add new tenants at runtime. I have not found any particular library to do this, so I will use elasticsearch gem with custom code.

Chewy looks awesome otherwise, I just have unusual requirements.

Re: Elasticsearch for Ruby on Rails: An Introduction to Chewy (with code)

In the Example above you have a EntertainmentIndex, which has multiple models, but imagine that each model belonged to a different tenant, so imagine you have a imdb tenant, and a netflix tenant. You have netflix to have its own index in elastic search imdb its own index, even though they are all stored within the same Database, you want movies from imdb stored in that index, and netflix in its own index. Effectively you would have to define the Indexes separately in Chewy. Why two indexes? well it allows them to move between nodes easier, if one becomes bigger than another.
