Prerequisites
Install your native toolchain and NativeScript as described in the docs: https://docs.nativescript.org/setup/quick-setup. In order to open the native Android and iOS project, you need Android Studio and Xcode respectively.
How to Build the Package
On macOS you can execute:
$ ./build.sh
This script builds both Android and iOS, assembles the package at ./dist/package and packs it as ./dist/tns-core-modules-widgets-*.tgz.
How to Build Android
On Unix-like operating systems you can execute:
$ ./build.android.sh
This script builds only the Android project, assembles the package at ./dist/package and packs it as ./dist/tns-core-modules-widgets-*.tgz. The output file is available at ./android/widgets/build/outputs/aar/widgets-release.aar.
NOTE: To run bash script on Windows you can install GIT SCM and use Git Bash.
How to Build iOS
On macOS you can execute:
$ ./build.ios.sh
This script builds only the Xcode project, assembles the package at ./dist/package and packs it as ./dist/tns-core-modules-widgets-*.tgz. The output native iOS framework is available at ./ios/TNSWidgets/build/TNSWidgets.framework.
How to Use in an Application
You could link the tns-core-modules-widgets plugin package to your application through the steps listed below.
In the ./dist/package folder execute:
npm link
In your application project folder execute:
npm link tns-core-modules-widgets
Build the plugin with the above-mentioned commands after each change you would like to test.
