ZulaLibrary is the core library of ZulaMobile. It includes the infrastructure to create applications. Please refer to wiki for details.

Requirement management is done using CocoaPods. See PodFile for dependency list.

To install requirements, issue the following command:

pod install

To add a new dependency, search its availablitiy with pod search, then simply add it using the same format in the PodFile

• Create a new xcode project, choose Empty Application

• Create a Podfile with following:

  platform :ios, '7.0'
  pod 'ZulaLibrary', :git => 'https://github.com/ZulaMobile/ZulaLibrary.git'
  pod 'AFNetworking', '~> 1.3.4'
  pod 'SVProgressHUD', '~> 1.0'
  pod 'SDSegmentedControl', '~> 1.0.2'
  pod 'MSPullToRefreshController', :git => 'https://github.com/laplacesdemon/MSPullToRefreshController.git'
  pod 'UIActivityIndicator-for-SDWebImage'
  pod 'SWRevealViewController', '~> 1.1.3'
  

• Hit pod install

• Edit prefix file (.pch file) and add following:

  #import <SystemConfiguration/SystemConfiguration.h>
  #import <MobileCoreServices/MobileCoreServices.h>
  #import "ZulaLibrary.h"
  

• To use a RESTFul Api endpoint, Edit main plist file and add following:

  `api_url`: `http://zula-api-url.com`
  `default_api_url`: `http://zula-default-api-url.com`
  

• Edit AppDelegate and inherit from one of the AppDelegate classes (e.g. SMDefaultAppDelegate).

• Optionally create app.plist file and add following:

  <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
  <!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd">
  <plist version="1.0">
  <dict>
    <key>available_components</key>
    <array/>
  </dict>
  </plist>
  

Zula can work either a plist configuration file or a RESTFul web service (json endpoints).

Add following entries to your main plist file:

api_url: http://yourserver.com/api/

api_url is where all configuration of your app comes from. Following is an example app configuration:

{
    "app-description": "http://lotb.zulamobile.com/api/v1/meta/app-description/", 
    "homepage": "http://lotb.zulamobile.com/api/v1/homepage/", 
    "content-containers": "http://lotb.zulamobile.com/api/v1/content-containers/", 
    "contents": "http://lotb.zulamobile.com/api/v1/contents/", 
    "lists": "http://lotb.zulamobile.com/api/v1/lists/"
}

See docs for details.
