Create app in phonegap in windows

Phonegap (Cordova) is a tool that allows creating native mobile app using HTML, CSS and Javascript.
This article shows you, how to create application and deploy them to various native mobile platforms using the cordova command-line interface (CLI).

Install Cordova using CLI

Follow these steps to install:


    1. Download and install Node.js. Following installation, you should be able to invoke node and npm on your command line.

    2. Install the cordova module using npm utility of Node.js. The cordova module will automatically be downloaded by the npm utility.
    3.   $ npm install -g cordova
Create APP:

Go to the directory where you maintain your source code, and run a command such as the following: using command.

Create hello app:
$ cordova create hello com.example.hello HelloWorld

This command will create a folder ‘HelloWorld’.

All subsequent commands need to be run within the project's directory, or any subdirectories.

So go to in this folder ‘cd HelloWorld’.

Add the platforms that you want to target your app. We will add the 'ios' and 'android' platform and ensure they get saved to config.xml:
$ cordova platform add ios --save

$ cordova platform add android --save

To check your current set of platforms:
$ cordova platform ls

Build the App

By default, cordova create script generates a skeletal web-based application whose start page is the project's
www/index.html

file. Any initialization should be specified as part of the deviceready event handler defined in
www/js/index.js.

Run the following command to build the project for all platforms:
$ cordova build

You can optionally limit the scope of each build to specific platforms - 'ios' in this case:
$ cordova build ios

$ cordova build android

Connecting to Socket in React Native app

Connecting to a socket in a React Native app requires the use of a socket library that supports React Native. One popular library is socket.io-client . Here are the steps to connect to a socket using socket.io-client in a React Native app: Install socket.io-client by running the following command in your project directory: npm install socket.io-client 2. Import the library in your code: import io from 'socket.io-client'; 3. Create a socket instance by calling the io function and passing in the URL of the socket server: const socket = io('http://example.com'); Replace http://example.com with the URL of your socket server. 4. Add event listeners to the socket instance to handle incoming events: socket.on('connect', () => { console.log('Connected to socket server'); }); socket.on('event', (data) => { console.log('Received data:', data); }); Replace event with the name ...

Know about the Web Socket and setup WebSocket in Javascript HTML page

  WebSockets is a protocol for providing full-duplex communication channels over a single TCP connection. It allows for real-time, two-way communication between a client and a server, which makes it ideal for web applications that require continuous updates from the server or that need to send frequent updates to the server. Here are some basic information about WebSockets: WebSockets are designed to work over a single TCP connection, which means that they are more efficient than other protocols like HTTP that require multiple connections for each request/response cycle. WebSockets use a persistent connection between the client and server, which allows for real-time communication without the need for frequent polling or long-polling requests. The WebSocket protocol uses a message-based model for sending and receiving data, which means that data is transmitted as a stream of messages rather than a series of HTTP requests and responses. WebSockets support binary data transmission, wh...
