The flying-disc project is a template for a dynamic Android/iOS app for a chapter's GDG DevFest. It pulls data from the Google+ API and utilizes Firebase, Ionic Framework, and Cordova.

1. Ensure you have Ionic installed (and are using the latest version)

2. Create a Firebase account, create a new app, and setup Firebase auth for the social logins

   • Google+
   • Facebook
   • Twitter
   • GitHub

3. Create Google Cloud project for API key

   • Can use the same project created when setting up Google+ login in step 2

4. Create a new Ionic project

   ionic start devfest sidemenu

5. Replace the /www folder with the /www folder from this project.

   • Add the status bar plugin (to fix iOS status bar & app header issue)

   • Add the toast plugin (for native style toast notifications)

     ionic plugin add https://github.com/EddyVerbruggen/Toast-PhoneGap-Plugin

   • Add the social sharing plugin (for device's native sharing options)
