App templates help you jump start your native cross-platform apps with built-in UI elements and best practices. Save time writing boilerplate code over and over again when you create new apps.
Execute the following command to create an app from this template:
ns create my-blank-ts --template @nativescript/template-blank-ts
Note: This command will create a new NativeScript app that uses the latest version of this template published to npm.
If you want to create a new app that uses the source of the template from the master branch, you can execute the following:
# clone nativescript-app-templates monorepo locally
git clone [email protected]:NativeScript/nativescript-app-templates.git
# create app template from local source (all templates are in the 'packages' subfolder of the monorepo)
ns create my-blank-ts --template nativescript-app-templates/packages/template-blank-ts
NB: Please, have in mind that the master branch may refer to dependencies that are not on NPM yet!
The application root module:
/app/app-root- sets up a Frame that lets you navigate between pages.
There is a single blank page module that sets up an empty layout:
/app/home/home-page
Home page has the following components:
ActionBar- It holds the title of the page.GridLayout- The main page layout that should contains all the page content.
The NativeScript framework has a vibrant community that can help when you run into problems.
