libcommon

libcommon is a Tizen extension containing all shared JLR assets. It exposes a simple interface to reach these assets in a generic way.

The impetus for the project came from the need to share assets (e.g. CSS, JS, images) between different Tizen web applications. Maybe we wanted a branding image in the corner of all our apps, or possibly a navigation menu at the bottom of every app. We simply couldn't duplicate the assets in every project, so this was born.
