Braintree Drop-in container in Ionic

Question

I'm trying to integrate a Braintree Payments drop-in into an Ionic mobile app. Based on the Braintree documentation and some code examples i was able to find online, the following code is what I've managed to come up with so far but it doesn't seem to work:

controller.js

.controller('CheckoutForm', function($scope, $window) {
  $scope.clientToken = "<token generated by the server>"

  $scope.renderCheckout = function() {
    braintree.setup($scope.clientToken, "dropin", {
      container: "payment-form"
      });
  }
})

template.html

<div>
  Payment details:
  <form id="checkout">
    <div id="payment-form" onLoad="renderCheckout()"></div>
  </form>
</div>

I also included the following line in the index.html:

<script src="https://js.braintreegateway.com/js/braintree-2.23.0.min.js"></script>

I'm quite new to Ionic and HTML5/JS development in general so any help would be much appreciated.

Forget about the onload function. Just do this in your controller.

var clientToken = "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";

// Client token above is just for testing and provided by Braintree for testing purposes

braintree.setup(clientToken, "dropin", {
  container: "payment-form"
});

Then in your html:

<form id="checkout">
  <div id="payment-form"></div>
</form>

For mobile remember to add proper Content security policy and whitelists with the cordova-whitelist-plugin.

Documentation for CSP: https://developers.braintreepayments.com/reference/client-reference/javascript/v2/best-practices#using-braintree.js-with-a-content-security-policy
