Excited about healthkit

I second your excitement. Looking forward to a response.

Hi guys, thanks for the comments 👍

I've just checked in some basic plumbing and a test method for storing and reading one of the parameters of the HealthKit SDK (weight). I was able to store the weight via Javascript and see the update in the Health app of iOS8. Pretty cool stuff.

Before turning this into something more useful for developers, I'd like to ask you: which features do you expect the plugin to have. Which usecases do you have in mind exactly?

Thanks for thinking with me on this,
Eddy

@EddyVerbruggen awesome. Would love to be able to post a completed activity with activity length and calories burned if that is an option. Was going to dive into the docs a bit more this week myself but I think these are options.

Hi, I've added a few methods to play with.
@gylippus I will be looking at the Workout feature real soon. Here's the Workout reference btw.

@EddyVerbruggen awesome. Well done. Was looking through the docs yesterday and imagined a common scenario would be something like this: https://developer.apple.com/library/ios/documentation/HealthKit/Reference/HKWorkout_Class/

workoutWithActivityType:startDate:endDate:duration:totalEnergyBurned:totalDistance:metadata:

+ (instancetype)workoutWithActivityType:(HKWorkoutActivityType)workoutActivityType
                              startDate:(NSDate *)startDate
                                endDate:(NSDate *)endDate
                               duration:(NSTimeInterval)duration
                      totalEnergyBurned:(HKQuantity *)totalEnergyBurned
                          totalDistance:(HKQuantity *)totalDistance
                               metadata:(NSDictionary *)metadata

window.plugins.healthkit.saveWorkout({
          'activityType': 'HKWorkoutActivityTypeCrossTraining'", // Directly associated with an HKWorkoutActivityType constants, maybe later custom activity
          'startDate': "", // Optional Date() of start
          'endDate': "", // Optional Date() of end
          'duration': "1200", // Duration in seconds or milliseconds
          'energyBurned': "120", // Total Energy burned, calories or kCal? 
          'totalDistance': "", // Optional distance? Maybe meters?
          'extraData': "", // Not sure how necessary this is
        },
        callback,
        callback
    );

If you think of any ways I can help, definitely let me know. Even if just testing.
