Quick Start

To get the SDK loaded and running, you will need to:

1. Install the Bluedot Cordova package
2. iOS: Install iOS SDK
3. Android: Install Android SDK
4. Initialize the SDK

1. Install the Bluedot Cordova package

In the root directory of your project, run

$ cordova plugin add @bluedot\-innovation/cordova\-plugin

2. iOS: Install iOS SDK

In the root directory of your project, run

$ cordova platform add ios
$ cordova run ios

3. Android: Install Android SDK

In the root directory of your project, run

$ cordova platform add android
$ cordova run android

4. Initialize the SDK

Now that the project has been set up, you can import and initialize the Bluedot Cordova package from your App:

The initializeWithProjectId method expects 3 parameters:

Parameter	Type	Description
initializationSuccessful	Function	The callback will be executed when the SDK is successfully initialized.
initializationFailed	Function	The callback will be executed when the SDK did not initialize.
projectId	String	The project Id you’re going to use. This can be found in the Canvas.

function doInitialize()
{ 
    // Initialize SDK
    io.bluedot.cordova.plugin.initializeWithProjectId(
         function () { console.log("Initialization Successful") },
         function (error) { console.log("Initialization Failed with error: " + error) },
         "YOUR_PROJECT_ID");
}

Initialization Status

You can use the isInitialized method to check the status of the SDK. It will return a boolean value.

function doIsInitialized()
 {
    io.bluedot.cordova.plugin.isInitialized(
        function (isInitialized) { console.log("Is SDK Initialized: " + isInitialized) }
    );
 }

At this point, you’ve got the basics together, but to start receiving location events from the SDK, your need to use our Geo-triggering and/or Tempo features.
