Cordova (PhoneGap) bindings for Smooch.

Basic Setup

Install Smooch

For iOS: http://docs.smooch.io/#manual-method

For Android: Gradle does the work for you!

Install Cordova plugin

cordova plugin add smooch-cordova

You should now see smooch-cordova.js and the SmoochCordova source files in your project directory.

Init Smooch with appId

iOS

In your javascript:

Smooch.init({
  	"appId" : "your-smooch-app-id",
  	"conversationAccentColor" : "#FFFFFF" // optional, default is #00B0FF
});

IMPORTANT: This call must be made AFTER the deviceready event of Cordova.

See http://docs.smooch.io/api/ios/Classes/SKTSettings.html for other init settings.

Android

In io.smooch.cordova.SmoochApplication.java, change <your_app_id> to your app id. This file is located inside the src folder of the android project.

Locate the file called AndroidManifest.xml in the root of your Android project. Inside the <application> tag, add android:name="io.smooch.cordova.SmoochApplication"

That's it! See http://docs.smooch.io/api/android/ for other init settings.
