[$200, $100] IBP Ionic StarterPack eMail Challenge

[mtwomey]

Welcome to the Ionic StarterPack eMail Challenge

Project Rename: We were previously referring to this challenge series as "[IBP ] Node / Heroku Buildpack" I will keep using the "[IBP]" tag.

The Ionic buildpack is off to a good start, but we have lots more to do. I'll be running a series of three challenges over the next few days. We'll stagger them and I'll give you a preview of what's coming so you can prepare and / or think ahead.

Upcoming Challenges

1. Add eMail demonstration -This challenge [Starts today, runtime 3 days]
2. Add Facebook post / share [Starts June 10th, runtime 3 days]
3. Add Twitter tweet [Starts June 11th, runtime 2 days]

Official details of the next two challenges will be posted shortly.

This Challenge

The goal of this challenge is to add a component (in src/components/) that demonstrates email functionality. The real-world use case for this, is an email trigger happening "behind the scenes" in a mobile app. For example, send an email to an administrator when a user registers.

Details

To get started, clone the repo and follow the README.md to run the application. Each side-menu option is represented by a component in the src/components directory.

The goal here is to add the email component without modifying anything else in the code base. Please make sure you review and understand how the application modularity functions.

The email component should take the user to a screen which has the following controls:

1. A box where the user can type a destination email address
2. A button the user can click to send the email
3. A button the user can click to get the delivery status of the last email they sent

When the user clicks the 'Send Email' button, an email should be sent to the destination email address with Subject: Test email from Ionic StarterPack and the Body: Hello World!. The email From address should be "[email protected]".

When the user clicks the "Get Delivery Status" button, they should be informed of the delivery status of the last email they sent with the application (see API for this). Indicate both the status and the ID of the email.

The API for sending the email can be found here (Viewable in Swagger). I have setup a backend that implements the API, which can be used for testing (details in the forums).

Additional Notes

• Use standard Ionic controls and directives in your solution wherever possible to ensure we get a "native look and feel"
• For a high level overview of this whole project, please read Ionic StarterPack Concept. This document explains the overall concept we're trying to achieve.

Challenge Deliverables

• A zip file with only the new component (the folder that will go in src/components)
• No video necessary
• Simple deployment guide in MD format
• App must build successfully and function properly for both iOS and Android
