Development Workflow
|
|
====================
|
|
|
|
The repository contains several packages and apps:
|
|
- `tns-platform-declarations` - Android and iOS native APIs supported in JavaScript
|
|
- `tns-core-modules` - Core ui, io and sensor modules
|
|
- `apps` - UI app used for manual testing and automation
|
|
- `tests` - Unit tests for the `tns-core-modules`
|
|
|
|
Working with the repo is organized with npm scripts,
|
|
go and read through the `scripts` section in the [package.json](./package.json).
|
|
|
|
Managing dependencies:
|
|
- `tns-core-modules` depends on:
|
|
- `tns-platform-declarations`
|
|
- `apps` depends on:
|
|
- `tns-platform-declarations`
|
|
- `tns-core-modules`
|
|
- `tests` depends on:
|
|
- `tns-platform-declarations`
|
|
- `tns-core-modules`
|
|
|
|
> NOTE: `tns-core-modules` depends on `tns-core-modules-widgets`,
|
|
this dependency contains native code and is rarely modified so for now it remains outside this repo.
|
|
|
|
## Manage Dependencies
|
|
Get devDependencies by:
|
|
```bash
|
|
npm install
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Setting up the environment for work we use [`npm link`](https://docs.npmjs.com/cli/link).
|
|
The dependencies in the repo are `npm link`-ed (~synlinked) using the following script:
|
|
```bash
|
|
npm run setup
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## TypeScript
|
|
The following commands are commonly used to compile the `tns-core-modules`:
|
|
```bash
|
|
# Full tsc with type checking ~22.2s.
|
|
tsc -p tns-core-modules
|
|
|
|
# Fast tsc ~11.2s.
|
|
tsc -p tns-core-modules --skipLibCheck
|
|
|
|
# Fast watcher, ~4s. on save
|
|
tsc -p tns-core-modules --skipLibCheck -w
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Compiling the modules, tests and apps has also npm scripts:
|
|
```
|
|
npm run dev-tsc-tns-core-modules
|
|
npm run dev-tsc-tests
|
|
npm run dev-tsc-apps
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
The modules have `typescript` as devDependency so you should also be able to use locally installed TypeScript compiler from node_modules:
|
|
```
|
|
./node_modules/.bin/tsc -p tns-core-modules
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
You can compile the typescript files in the `tns-core-modules`, `tns-platform-declarations`, `apps` and `tests` at once at the root of the repo:
|
|
```
|
|
npm run tsc
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Tests
|
|
The test app is an ordinary NativeScript app that logs the test results as it go.
|
|
To run the test app:
|
|
```
|
|
# Once after npm install
|
|
npm run setup
|
|
|
|
# After changes in the modules
|
|
tsc -p tns-core-modules
|
|
# After changes in the tests
|
|
tsc -p tests
|
|
|
|
tns run ios --path tests
|
|
tns run android --path tests
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Platform declarations
|
|
To update the platform declarations (the ios.d.ts-es) you can run:
|
|
```
|
|
npm install
|
|
npm run dev-declarations
|
|
```
|
|
This script will update the iOS declarations. Android tools are not integrated yet.
|
|
The declarations are generated from the test app and will include the native code from tns-core-modules-widgets.
