ghtomcat / txjs-fortunecookie Goto Github PK

This is the sample code for Ben Combee's presentation on Enyo and Node.js at the TXJS 2011 confernece.

You can see the slides for this talk at http://www.slideshare.net/unwiredben/javascript-on-hp-webos-enyo-and-nodejs

This is a simple Enyo application showing a fortune cookie application. It has three implementations of the "get next fortune" code.

• LocalFortunes.js: hard-coded messages in the JS file
• FortuneJar.js: reads the messages file in the Enyo app using a enyo.WebService request
• FortuneService.js: asks a fortune cookie service implemented in node.js for a fortune

The implementation that's used is selected by the commented-out code in app.js.

We supply a build.cmd for building the package on Windows. This can be easily modified into a build.sh file for Mac OS X or Linux.

You'll need the HP webOS 3.0 SDK, a free download at http://developer.hpwebos.com/ to build this and test it. This will run fine in the HP webOS 3.0 emulator or on a HP TouchPad device.
