I need tutorial for custom new module

[lexuanquynh]

I create a my submodule, and I want to add into exist telegram source code.
The forder is:
Telegram-iOS/submodules/QModule
contains:

• QViewController.xib
• QViewController.swift
  My script in BUILD file is:

load("@build_bazel_rules_swift//swift:swift.bzl", "swift_library")

swift_library(
    name = "QModule",
    module_name = "QModule",
    srcs = glob([
	"Sources/**/*.swift",
   	"Sources/**/*.xib",
    ]),    
    visibility = [
        "//visibility:public",
    ],
)

When I run generate with script:

python3 build-system/Make/Make.py \
    --bazel="$HOME/bazel-dist/bazel" \
    --cacheDir="$HOME/telegram-bazel-cache" \
    generateProject \
    --configurationPath="$HOME/telegram-configuration" \
    --disableExtensions \
    --disableProvisioningProfiles

It build success. But I can't find my module. What step am I missed?

How are you planning to use this module?

@ali-fareed I want to add the UIViewcontroller into the Telegram Tabbar. I try to custom a new viewcontroller. I naively thought that adding was simply creating a directory in submodules, and writing Bazel scripts. It built successfully, but it's not contain in the Xcode project. What step was I missing? Can you help me? give me a keyword, I will research for it.

I'm afraid it would take a lot of effort to describe the general architecture of the app.

I would recommend reading https://hubo.dev/tags/#Telegram

@ali-fareed thank you very much. I think having this source code for research is the best thing a dev has.

Unfortunately you will not be able to use Storyboards due to AsyncDisplayKit restrictions which is (partially) used in Telegram sources.

I've made some attempts to integrate some basic UIViewControllers and additional tab bar icons in app, but unfortunately whole project is based on custom ViewControllers (mostly based on AsyncDisplayKit stuff) and it requires a lot of work to adapt them (edges, colors, swipes, navigation and etc.)

So I assume it's really better to integrate something based on AsyncDisplayKit

NB: Check this post as well to make sure that you have enough framework modules to create your Views.

But I can't find my module.

Try to declare your module as a dependency for other module (eg. submodules/TelegramUI/BUILD) or in main app file (Telegram-iOS/BUILD)

Also, take a look at Nicegram example

@Kylmakalle thank you very much. Can you give me your telegram or twitter?
