NativeScript + TypeScript

This is a sample project wrapping the tns commands in a Grunt script that compiles the TypeScript code and assembles the correct app folder structure.

How it works?

• We keep everything below ./src. DO NOT PUT ANYTHING IMPORTANT IN ./app
• The TypeScript compiler puts transpiled .js files in `./app'
• A Grunt task updates all app assets and the tns_modules folder too.

Setting it up

$ npm install
$ tns platform add android
$ tns platform add ios
$ grunt app-full.

When done, run the emulator (see below).

Development workflow

• Edit some files.
• Start the emulator using: grunt run-android --avd <YOUR AVD> or grunt run-ios --device <YOUR DEVICE>
  • Hit Ctrl-C when done.

Upgrading to a newer NativeScript version

• Update your platforms.
• Update your src/tns_modules folder with the latest version of the module code.
• Remove the 1.5.2 *.d.ts files below src/typings/nativescript/1.5.2 and add the new type declarations in a similarly named folder.
• Update *.d.ts path references to the new typings folder in src/dependencies.d.ts
