Ionic

Adding the TestFairy plugin to your Ionic project is simple. The following instructions are for Ionic 3.

Installation

Run the following commands from your application root folder:

ionic cordova plugin add com.testfairy.cordova-plugin

Alternatively, you can install it directly from GitHub:

ionic cordova plugin add https://github.com/testfairy/testfairy-cordova-plugin

Upgrading

To upgrade your plugin, please run:

ionic cordova plugin update com.testfairy.cordova-plugin

Usage

Initialize TestFairy with your App Token by calling TestFairy.begin. Your APP TOKEN is available at https://app.testfairy.com/settings/#apptoken.

We recommend to invoking TestFairy.begin from platform.ready() in src/app/app.component.ts. Also, be sure to declare TestFairy at the top of the file.

import { Component } from '@angular/core';
import { Platform } from 'ionic-angular';
import { StatusBar } from '@ionic-native/status-bar';
import { SplashScreen } from '@ionic-native/splash-screen';

import { HomePage } from '../pages/home/home';

// Declare the TestFairy instance
declare var TestFairy: any;

@Component({
  templateUrl: 'app.html'
})
export class MyApp {
  rootPage:any = HomePage;

  constructor(platform: Platform, statusBar: StatusBar, splashScreen: SplashScreen) {
    platform.ready().then(() => {
            TestFairy.begin(APP TOKEN);
      // Okay, so the platform is ready and our plugins are available.
      // Here you can do any higher level native things you might need.
      statusBar.styleDefault();
      splashScreen.hide();
    });
  }
}

Note: We currently do not support plugin mocking or browser development. During your development phase, we recommend checking for the existence of TestFairy on the window object before invoking any methods on the TestFairy object, e.g.

// Check if TestFairy is available (will be undefined in browser)
if ((<any>window).TestFairy) {
    TestFairy.begin(APP TOKEN);
}
