Ionic2 - Hammer JS Example

Gesture event support is also one of the reason behind popularity of mobile applications. Capturing gesture events can be easily done in case of native mobile applications, since all the mobile platform expose gesture events in native code. Since Hybrid mobile applications are built over html and  javascript,  html don't support gesture events. There could be scenario's, where you wants to provide support for your hybrid mobile application. In such cases, we can use Hammer.JS  . Angular version 2 also provides support for Hammer.JS, about the same we will look into this post. Let's say we want to design a simple box, which we can rotate in any direction as shown Here we are trying to rotate the box in any direction by using Gesture events.

Authentication may require username and password for the user, which most of the developers store into mobile local-storage.  Storing sensitive information in local-Storage is a very bad practice, instead you should use other options such as JWT tokens or Social providers. To get more information look to Security for Cordova mobile applications . An token is also an sensitive information, which we need to store somewhere, so what shall we do? Thank God cordova have such large community support, we will look for one of such plugin which can help us here. Before using plugin, lets first create the blank ionic2 application ionic start --v2 SecureStorageExample blank navigate to the directory of your application  and add the secure storage plugin using the below command ionic plugin add cordov...

Ionic2 - Security for Cordova mobile applications

One of the great challenge for mobile developers is securing it. In case of Cordova based mobile applications, this challenge is more complex. Since, all the cordova based mobile applications are nothing but an website with index.html. The only difference here is that this website runs within your mobile and all the html pages are wrapped within native container of mobile platforms. Let's look at the some of the points to be taken care while securing your mobile application: Cordova Whitelist Plugin This helps in restricting the access from your application to external websites. It prevents attackers to get information about user by injecting their own javascript code into your application. By default access policy is set to allow access for all domains. <access origin="*" /> Change this to point only to your site <access origin="https://yoursite.com/" /> Transfer Data Using Https: Data transferred over http can be intercepted a...
