README.md

Ratchet v2.0 WIP devDependencies

Build mobile apps with simple HTML, CSS, and JS components.

Getting Started

  • Clone the repo with git clone https://github.com/maker/ratchet.git or just download the bundled CSS and JS
  • Read the docs to learn about the components and how to get a prototype on your phone
  • We will have example apps to check out very soon!

Take note that our master branch is our active, unstable development branch and that if you're looking to download a stable copy of the repo, check the tagged downloads.

Documentation

Ratchet's documentation is built with Jekyll and publicly hosted on GitHub Pages at http://maker.github.io/ratchet. The docs may also be run locally.

Running documentation locally

  1. If necessary, install Jekyll.
  2. From the root /ratchet directory, run jekyll serve in the command line.
  3. Open http://localhost:4000 in your browser, and boom!

Learn more about using Jekyll by reading its documentation.

Troubleshooting

A small list of "gotchas" are provided below for designers and developers starting to work with Ratchet

  • Ratchet is designed to respond to touch events from a mobile device. In order to use mouse click events (for desktop browsing and testing), you have a few options:
    • Enable touch event emulation in Chrome (found in the overrides tab in the web inspector preferences)
    • Use a javascript library like fingerblast.js to emulate touch events (ideally only loaded from desktop devices)
  • Script tags containing javascript will not be executed on pages that are loaded with push.js. If you would like to attach event handlers to elements on other pages, document-level event delegation is a common solution.
  • Ratchet uses XHR requests to fetch additional pages inside the application. Due to security concerns, modern browsers prevent XHR requests when opening files locally (aka using the file:/// protocol); consequently, Ratchet does not work when opened directly as a file.
    • A common solution to this is to simply serve the files from a local server. One convenient way to achieve this is to run python -m SimpleHTTPServer <port> to serve up the files in the current directory to http://localhost:<port>
