Chapter 8. Building "Imaginary" – An Application with Instagram-like Image Filters

In the previous chapter, we implemented the WebRTC PhoneGap/Cordova application. We built a custom STUN (signaling) server with Socket.io, which processes a variety of requests. Also, we used the PeerJS tool to simplify peer-to-peer connections. Most of the chapters in this book are related to Web development, and only a little bit describes platform-specific features. It's interesting that with the help of PhoneGap/Cordova, we can implement native components and connect them as PhoneGap/Cordova plugins to the application. In this chapter, we will write an Instagram-like application to apply effects to our pictures.

In this chapter, we will:

  • Revisit application structure organization with Sencha Touch

  • Understand image processing with HTML5 Canvas and the Pixastic library

  • Resize images with the help of HTML5 Canvas

  • Build a custom PhoneGap/Cordova plugin for iOS

I assigned the name "Imaginary" to the project.
