Acceptance testing for the Moodle App

In order to run tests that carry out automated functionality testing for the Moodle App, you can write Acceptance tests. This can be useful if you want to test plugins that are compatible with the app, or you're contributing to the app core. Behat tests for the app work the same way as tests for Moodle core, but they are not run as part of a normal Behat execution and there are some differences that we'll go through in this page.

Custom Moodle Apps

Unfortunately, the core team does not have the resources to help people use the open source code to build custom apps.

Moodle App

Welcome to the Moodle App developer documentation!

Moodle App Development Guide

This document contains information that developers should know before starting to code on the Mobile App. If you are only interested in developing a site plugin, you should read the Moodle App Plugins development guide instead.

Moodle App Docker Images

Moodle HQ provides a couple of Docker images that contain the Moodle App ready for use. You can search all the available versions in Docker Hub.

Moodle App Overview

The Moodle App is a mobile application that helps users make the best of their Moodle sites on handheld devices. It has some additional features like offline access, and a dedicated interface adapted to mobile. It's focused on student functionality, so you won't find all the features you have on the web for teachers and admins. You can learn more about the features available in the user documentation.

Moodle App Plugins Development Guide

If you want to add mobile support to your Moodle plugin, you can achieve it by extending different areas of the app using just PHP server side code and providing templates written with Ionic and custom components.

Moodle App Scripts: gulp push

The gulp push command automatically pushes a branch to a git remote and then updates the corresponding Moodle Tracker (Jira) issue with the diff URL or a patch file, similar to mdk push -t. This script was developed using mdk as an example. It's meant to be used for MOBILE issues, so it will only update the "master" fields in the tracker.

Unit testing for the Moodle App

Unit tests are written in JavaScript using Jest. If you want to create a new one, Jest is already configured and you only need to create a file ending with .test.ts within the project. If you're going to do so, remember to follow the file location conventions.

Using the Moodle App in a browser

Browsers are not officially supported by the application, but you can use a Chromium-based browser older than version 119 for development if you don't need any native functionality.
