|
Learn how to code against native APIs in NativeScript for Angular. Access Objective C, Swift, and Java libraries directly from JavaScript/TypeScript. Build custom view components for iOS and Android. Develop plugins to share with the community. Get intellisense for iOS and Android APIs. Convert Swift libraries to NativeScript. Create consistent plugin APIs for Android and iOS. Discover CocoaPods, Gradle, and Android Arsenal for native libraries. Handle cases where a plugin only supports one platform. Join this course to enhance your NativeScript skills.
NativeScript has the ability to write Objective C, Swift and Java apis directly from JavaScript and TypeScript.
In this course, we will learn how to code directly against these native api’s with NativeScript for Angular. Many libraries are written and published in these languages. With NativeScript you are no longer limited to just JavaScript based libs, but have direct access to these api’s right from JavaScript/TypeScript. Let’s look at how to include these native libraries internally to your project as well as build public plugins to share with the community.
We will cover some considerations with Objective C and Swift based libraries as well as Java/Android libraries. You can think of CocoaPod, Gradle, and Android Arsenal like npm for native libs. iOS libraries can be found via CocoaPods, Android libraries can be found via Gradle or Android Arsenal.
Let’s also cover how to write custom view components based on native libs since there are considerations for both iOS and Android. Lastly we will learn how to best handle cases where a plugin/library only supports 1 platform.
