appletv-demo

A demo application for AppleTV using atvjs.

Getting Started

Assuming that you have nodejs and npm installed on your machine, do the following to get started:

$ npm install -g gulp                   # Install Gulp globally
$ npm install                           # Install dependencies

Accessing Presentation

$ npm run presentation 8080             # Specify optional port if needed

Development

Builds the application and starts a webserver. By default the webserver starts at port 9001.

$ npm start

By default, it builds in debug mode and starts the server with live reload.

• If you need to build otherwise, use gulp with additional flags.
• If you need to build in release mode, add --t production flag.
• You can define a port with --p 8080 flag. (If you start the server on a different port, make sure to update the same in the native application)

Structure

The project is split into two parts:

• native: this directory contains the Xcode project and related files. The AppDelegate.swift file handles the setup of the TVMLKit framework and launching the JavaScript context to manage the application.
• web: this directory contains the JavaScript and TVML template files needed to render the application. The contents of this directory must be hosted on a server accessible from the device.
