Login View App Project in Intel XDK - Part 1

This app helps you include support for logging in to proceed with the app. The user will be asked to register his login information before he/she access the app. Intel XDK version 3400 and Windows 10 Professional were used for this post.

Some details of Login View App  are available here:

In the DEVELOP tab there is nothing else but the code. There is no DESIGN tab. There are files and folders of the app as shown.

Click on the EMULATE tab to display the app on the Apple iPhone 6 emulator (probably this was the emulator that was used the last time).

The account get created and you get to the start page. This page is empty and you need to start here.

Creating content in the empty page:

In the www folder make a right click to get the drop-down. Create New file,  FirstPage.html (empty for now)

In the Main App View page add the following code after creating the FirstPage.html.

LoginView-10

When you launch the app and enter your login information. The Start page shows up as shown.


Now you can add content to FirstPage.html. I just reused a file from a previous project.


Now when click the link in the start page, the following is displayed. It seems to spawn a local web server at some port.

This app does not store any user information. The registration is therefore useful for one (only one) time registration only. There is no back end database and is illustrative of using forms.
