Accessing Volt from a PhoneGap app

A couple of days ago, one of our users asked a good question on our discussion board: Can Volt’s services be used from a PhoneGap app?

It sounds like a reasonable request. PhoneGap apps are compiled web apps which run as native apps. AppStudio is very good at making these. Volt is a collection of services, including features such as serverStorage, which lets users of your apps easily save or share data on a server.

It turns out it is easy to do and works nicely. You need to do two things:
1. In Project Properties, set the Volt Domain to the location of your app on Volt. For example,
storage-introduces-owlishly.volt.live.
2. In Project Properties, add the path of the Volt library to extraheaders. For example:
<script src='https://storage-introduces-owlishly.volt.live/api/client/volt.js'>

(Replace storage-introduces-owlishly with whatever your app’s domain name is. Custom domains will work fine too.)
