Polymer

The web app is built with Polymer 1.0 and uses the Web Bluetooth API to communicate with Thingy:52. The Web Bluetooth API is supported in the latest versions of Chrome and Opera on Android, Windows, Linux, Chrome OS and OS X. Check out the up to date list of implementation status in different browsers.

Recommendations

• Learn about the Web Bluetooth API by reading the Interact with Bluetooth devices on the Web guide by François Beaufort.
• Learn about Polymer by reading the official Polymer 1.0 Get Started guide.

Prerequisites

Node.js

Install an active LTS version of Node.js (4.x or 6.x). The current version (7.x) should work, but is not officially supported.

Git

Install Git

Bower

npm install -g bower

Polymer-CLI

npm install -g polymer-cli

Installation instructions

1. Clone this repository
2. Make sure you have all prerequisites
3. Browse inside the webapp-nordic-thingy folder and download dependencies with bower

   bower install

4. Start a local web server to test the project

   polymer serve -o

   The web app will open automatically in your default browser.

Build the project

Browse inside the project and use polymer-cli to build.

polymer build

This will create a new build folder. Inside is a bundled and unbundled folder. To learn more about the build process and the output please check out the official polymer-cli documentation.

Recommendations

• This web app was built using a Web Bluetooth API which aims to make it easier to start developing Web Bluetooth applications using Thingy:52. To find out more about this API, click here.
• Learn about the Web Bluetooth API by reading the Interact with Bluetooth devices on the Web guide by François Beaufort.
• Learn about React by reading the official React - getting started guide.
• For an introduction in how to quickly and effortlessly create React apps, visit Create React App.

Prerequisites

• Node.js - Install an active LTS version of Node.js (e.g. v8.11.3). The current version (10.6.0) should work, but is not officially supported.
• Git - If you want to clone this repository, you will have to install Git. Alternatively, you can download the repository by clicking "Clone or download", and then "Download ZIP".
• Google Chrome - As Google Chrome is currently the only browser supporting Web Blueooth, you will need it to use the web app.
• Web Bluetooth polyfill for Windows 10 - If you are using Windows you will have to install a polyfill to enable Web Bluetooth. A guide with download and setup instructions can be found here. NOTE: As of January 2019, this polyfill is outdated, and it is recommended to use Chrome Canary instead, because it now has native Web Bluetooth support.

Notes

• Windows - Requires Windows 10 version 1706 (Creators Update) or later for the web bluetooth API to work properly.

Installation instructions

1. Clone or download this repository.
2. Make sure you have all prerequisites.
3. Open a command line tool, navigate to the root folder of the repository, and download dependencies by typing:

   npm i

4. To test the project, type:

   npm start

   Build the project

   From the root folder of the project, in a command line tool, write:

   npm run build

   This will create a new build folder. Inside is a bundled package of the website. The build can now be hosted by any server that is able to serve static files.

Note: If you want to serve the build from a folder other than the root folder, open the package.json file and change the "homepage" field to match your desired path.
