A Rapid Development framework for Titanium

Ti¶ ↑

A rapid development framework for titanium.

Requirements¶ ↑

• ruby 1.9.2

• Titanium Developer Mobile SDK

• CoffeeScript

• libffi ‘brew install libffi`

Sample App¶ ↑

Set an alias for titanium’s command line interface to your /.bash_profile

OS X¶ ↑

alias titanium="$HOME/Library/Application\ Support/Titanium/mobilesdk/osx/<VERSION>/titanium.py"

Linux¶ ↑

alias titanium=$HOME/.titanium/mobilesdk/linux/<VERSION>/titanium.py

Install the gem

gem install ti

Create a new Project

ti new HelloTi com.yourdomain.helloti iphone

Create your views

ti s window Sample main
ti s window Settings main

Update your ‘app/app.coffee` to define the newly created Views

HelloTi =
  Views:
    Sample: {}
    Settings: {}

Update your ‘app/hello_ti/stylesheets/app.sass` to include the generated sass

@import 'sample'
@import 'settings'

Run it using ‘rake`

rake

Or run it using ‘ti`

ti compile all && ti build iphone

You can now start adding components. Enjoy!

Contributing to Ti¶ ↑

• Check out the latest master to make sure the feature hasn’t been implemented or the bug hasn’t been fixed yet

• Check out the issue tracker to make sure someone already hasn’t requested it and/or contributed it

• Fork the project

• Start a feature/bugfix branch

• Commit and push until you are happy with your contribution

• Make sure to add tests for it. This is important so I don’t break it in a future version unintentionally.

• Please try not to mess with the Rakefile, version, or history. If you want to have your own version, or is otherwise necessary, that is fine, but please isolate to its own commit so I can cherry-pick around it.

Contributions¶ ↑

• Julius Francisco (tons of code, ideas, patterns, tests, time, and all around good guy)

• Wynn Netherland (sass, initial patterns & and help with preliminary architectural design)

• Rupak Ganguly (initial cli, removal of jeweler, tests)

ti's Issues

Compile CoffeeScript (by sorted order)

Should work similar to how SASS and Sprockets work where you have a file and you specify the order in which files are compiled. The following scenarios should work:

app/::app_name::/models/*
app/::app_name::/controllers/login.coffee
app/::app_name::/controllers/dashboard.coffee

Whitespace Issue

When generating new views just like in #16 this will insert a line of code containing the context[:domain] parameter. Initially it's using \t for the alignment of the newly inserted line, this causes an issue during coffeescript compilation.

cannot find HelloTi/Resources/iphone build iphone

ti compile all && ti build iphone

using information straight from the docs for example application

we get

the above errors Titanium 1.8.0.1

Rakefile dups

In the Rakefile we have:

PROJECT_NAME = "DailyFocus"
PROJECT_ROOT = File.dirname(FILE)

IPHONE_SDK_VERSION = "4.3"
TI_SDK_VERSION = "1.6.2"
TI_DIR = '/Library/Application\ Support/Titanium'
TI_ASSET_DIR = "#{TI_DIR}/mobilesdk/osx/#{TI_SDK_VERSION}"
TI_IPHONE_DIR = "#{TI_ASSET_DIR}/iphone"
TI_BUILD = "#{TI_IPHONE_DIR}/builder.py"
APP_DEVICE = "iphone"

Which needs to be removed as it is in config/config.rb.

Cannot Create Project (Master)

No such file or directory Resources/KS_nav_ui.png

Generating an ipad app

When generating an ipad app, the APP_DEVICE in config/config.rb should be set as 'ipad'.

Config Parser

Need to be able to load config/config.rb this will be used for the builders and compilers

Update the "routing" file when new templates are created

When a new view/controller/model are created their respective names should be added to the app.coffee script file.

Project generation only works if you are using Titanium 1.6.2

This looks like this might be fixed in the feature/refactor branch.

Generator/CLI Cleanup

There are some actions in the CLI that we need to cleanup to optimize the generators.

JSS ios build

I know this is slightly off track; but I reakon if anyone would know you guys would;

is there a way to use JSS without wiping the build to reflect changes for IOS

as this makes for a slow development process

Cheers

Testing Framework

Instead of Jasmine for testing in Ti apps, would it be worth looking at using JSUnity instead? Others in the past have used JSUnity successfully with Titanium apps (http://developer.appcelerator.com/question/741/unit-testing-support)

I am working on integrating it right now into an application I am building with the Ti gem and I could add it to the gem's generators on a pull request if you'd be interested in using JSUnity in the gem.

moar documentation nitpicks

It should be noted in the documentation that when you run rake, if it immediately fails to compile the coffee-script, you may need to install coffee-script. I was shocked that I needed to do this as I have rails 3.2.x installed and nodejs through npm.

Anyway you may need to run npm install -g coffee-script.

this might also be useful as merely an error message add on.

SASS Compiler

SASS Compiler should be implemented just like CoffeeCompiler. I think the idea is to have sprocket in place right?

Nokogiri in config.rb

The nokogiri stuff needs to be pulled out of the generated application and that should be core to Ti itself.

Rakefile CoffeeScript Compiling

Needs to use Ti::Compiler::CoffeeScripts.

Documentation

We're gonna need to start documenting this thing. Would prefer to use rocco (https://github.com/rtomayko/rocco), but rubygems.org uses rdoc. There is an open ticket for rdoc support in rocco.

push out 0.2.1

How about pushing out a 0.2.1 version containing the latest fixes so that building from source isn't necessary?

Weed through runtime dependencies

Need to figure out which runtime dependencies are actually needed.

Cannot run rake or ti compile/build

When trying to rake the sample project this is what I receive:

Mike-Rs-MacBook-Pro:HelloTi mikemac$ rake

Ti destroy command

Since we have all these generate new file commands, we need to start adding destroy commands.

New project generator needs android argument to point to SDK path

Usage: titanium.py create [--platform=p] [--type=t] [--dir=d] [--name=n] [--id=i] [--ver=v]

  --platform=p1,p2      platform: iphone, ipad, android, blackberry, etc.
  --type=t              type of project: project, module, plugin
  --dir=d               directory to create the new project
  --name=n              project name
  --id=i                project id (ie com.companyName.project
  --ver=i               platform version
  --android=sdk_folder  For android module - the Android SDK folder

duplicate filter for app.coffee declarations

When generating new views as follow:

ti s window Settings main

Initially this will insert a line in the app/app.coffee
Views:
Settings: {}

When you generate another child view under settings it will duplicate the line of Settings: {}

Extra brackets after view generation

When you follow the README to create a new project, after editing the the app/app.coffee file there is an extra set of brackets, presumably the ones that were saying that views was an empty object.

Views:
    Sample: {}
    Settings: {} {}

Ti Build

The building of the iphone app should all be part of Ti core.

When generating a view, it always replace the stylesheet

Vendor for Plugins

I think we should have vendor folder for custom .js files

zsh support ?

Hi im trying to install Ti , its a very cool project!

i use zsh an i put this line in .zshprofile

alias titanium=$HOME/Library/Application\ Support/Titanium/mobilesdk/osx/1.8.1/titanium.py

in console when i try to load a project it dont work as spected

zsh: permission denied: /Users/me/Library/Application

when i try to use the Ti command it fails with the tmp file not found files,

but i harcoded the path in the generate_titanium_project method project generator rb
.....
titanium_path = '$HOME/Library/Application\ Support/Titanium/mobilesdk/osx/1.8.1/titanium.py'
cmd = "#{titanium_path} create --name=#{@project_name} --platform=#{@device_platform} --id=#{@app_id}"
# We need to use the session gem so that we can access the user's aliases
#bash = Session::Bash::new 'program' => 'bash --login -i'
#bash.execute(cmd) { |out, err| puts out }
exec cmd

and it works.

any hints about that ? maybe its because i have activated zsh and the Ti comand executes a bash session comand ?

thanks

Project Folder not being Created

When you create a new project, the current directory is where all the files are created.
