I think DG is an awesome idea but having played around with it for a few days I wonder if it's basic routing system would be reliable enough to build a professional app?
I have set up the "no app" app which is just install the SDK and go to the app which shows the content and user menus and the home Welcome Page. I have also build out the Hello World example and my own simple 2 page app. It is awesome how easy it is to interface with my D7 site using this framework. But... and its a pretty big "but"... i can easily get any of these to crash by simply clicking through the navigation a little. This happens in either the web-app or compiled to a real Android app.
Thought perhaps this might be due to this being an old library and too many things changing over the years; but i see Tyler has done commits as recently as last month.
I'd love to think this is simply some setup issue on my part; but I haven't really set anything up yet - just turned the SDK on.
Having worked a bit with Ionic I certainly know the issues with page routing and unlike web apps, js apps seem to have a big problem making this reliable.
I have a bunch of questions:
- is DG meant to make professional apps or possibly just meant as a prototyping system (it would be awesome for this)?
- is there any chance i am simply missing something?
- can anyone post app code, an SDK or point to anything on an app store that can't be easily crashed by navigating through the app?
- is it a ridiculous idea to think it might be possible to integrate (jDrupal) with something like Ionic?
As awesome as the simplicity of setting up _menu and _page hooks that DG provides compared to much more complicated/generic Angular approach of Ionic; it's not possible to go back to my client with an app that hangs as i navigate the app.
I really hope I am missing something here as I have a very simple app to do and was REALLLLY hoping DG would be sufficient. :)
