This app will assist you in your understanding of the dynamic map. You will track your conflict with your partner. this will allow you to better identify patterns as well as what works and doesn’t work. In addition, you will be given prompts that will allow you to address current conflict in a more successful way thus decreasing the time spent in states of hurt, anger and resentment.

Structure of the project

The app has 3 data services

• auth-data.ts connects to firebase and manages authentication
• prompt-service.ts connects to firebase and handles retrieving prompts and storing responses, as well as retrieving response history
• storage-service.ts uses the ionic storage package, which is a file based local storage package to securely store user journals

The functionality of most features should be easy to understand, the one that might benefit from a little explanation is the Track Activity feature. This feature is implemented on two pages, the prompts-root-page and the prompts-page. The prompts-root-page is a visually blank component that holds the prompts and responses arrays. This page then pushes instances of prompt-page populated with data for the current prompt, and gives the pushed page a callback function to call back to prompts-root-page, which will update/add the data there and then push the next prompt-page.
