# Developing pasco

pasco is a [cordova](http://cordova.apache.org) app. The logic is largely in javascript with some custom work built for iOS.

## Getting started with development

To get you up and running this should get you to the point where you can work on the normal web version:

```
git clone https://github.com/AceCentre/pasco.git
npm install
bower install
npm run dev
```

For the iOS version you will need to be on a mac with XCode. Here are the commands to get going with this:

```
npm run cordova-dist
cd cordova
cordova platform add ios
cordova run
```

You should find the xcode project in `cordova\platforms\ios\pasco.xcodeproj`

### Having problems at this stage?

```
npm install --upgrade cordova@latest
npm install --upgrade cordova-ios@latest
npm install --upgrade ios-deploy
npm install cordova-icon 
```

## How is the project structured?

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://docs.acecentre.org.uk/products/pasco/advanced/developing.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
