Alloy Bootstrap

This is a Titanium Alloy bootstrap application with

• CoffeeScript is an attempt to expose the good parts of JavaScript in a simple way
• LTSS an Alloy tss pre-processor inspired by less
• TiCons to generate icons and splash screens
• TiShadow run tests or execute code snippets live across all running iOS and Android devices
• TiStealth, a module to replace console log calls with NOOPs which can later be restored

Prerequisites

First, this fork requires a fork of Alloy which implements a faster Alloy selective compilation. Install it with:

$ npm install -g xavierlacot/alloy#feature/speedup-compile

Then, go on with this bootstrap's dependencies:

$ npm install tishadow grunt-cli

• Get started with TiShadow

$ npm install -g ticons

• Get started with TiCons

Rollbacking

Should you have any problem with the Alloy fork, you can rollback to the latest stable of Alloy using:

$ npm install -g alloy

$ git clone git@github.com:vdesdoigts/alloy-bootstrap.git alloy-bootstrap
$ cd alloy-bootstrap
$ npm install

Default configuration

• TiCons assets - we use iOS 3@x high resolution intead of xxxhdpi android resolution
• TiCons splashes - we use a 2024x2024 pixels image
• Android custom theme at platform/android/res/values/customtheme.xml
  • hide ActionBar
  • add translucent property

TiCons 0.7.0

• Icons

  • Default behavior $ ticons icons pwd/app/assets/iphone/iTunesArtwork@2x iTunesArtwork@2x is a png image without ".png" extension. It must be in 2024x2024 pixels.

  • Generate specify icons for iOS $ ticons -a -p ios icons pwd/app/assets/iphone/iTunesArtwork@2x

  • Generate specify icons for Android $ ticons -a -p android icons pwd/app/assets/android/icon.png

• Splashes

  • Default behavior $ ticons splashes /Users/vdesdoigts/Workspace/titanium/Alloy-Bootstrap/app/assets/iphone/Default-Portrait-736h@3x.png

  • Custom splash $ ticons -a splashes pwd/app/assets/splash-2024x2024.jpg --no-nine You can provide a 2024x2024 pixels image to create your splashes. Be careful to center your logo.

• Assets

  • Default behavior $ ticons assets By default, TiCons will look for the best current resolution, at the moment is 'xxxhdpi' on app/assets/android/images/. If you dont't have or need this resolution, TiCons will automatically Skipped higher dpi: android-res-xxxhdpi and take the images at app/assets/iphone/images/.

  • Custom path example $ ticons -a assets pwd/app/assets/iphone/images/ Sometimes we don't need the best resolution or we don't have the images.

grunt clean task

• If you use iOS 3@x high resolution, add this lines (by default):

  "!app/assets/iphone/images/*@3x.png",
  "!app/assets/iphone/images/*@3x.jpg",
  

• If you use xxxhdpi default high resolution, add this lines instead:

  "!app/assets/android/images/xxxhdpi/*.png",
  "!app/assets/android/images/xxxhdpi/*.jpg",
