Tvdml App Boilerplate
Basic build configuration to begin building Apple TV apps using TVDML library
Overview
TVDML Application boilerplate is an efficient starting point for developers looking to create Apple TV apps using the TVDML library. With a straightforward setup process and a demo application to showcase its features, this boilerplate simplifies the initial stages of app development for the Apple TV platform. By streamlining the dependencies required and offering a user-friendly experience, developers can quickly dive into building engaging applications for their users.
Features
- Simple Setup: Requires only Node.js (>= 8.9.0) and Yarn (>= 1.3.0) to get started, making it accessible for various developers.
- Demo App Included: Comes with a demo app that offers a glimpse into what the final application can look like, enhancing the development experience.
- Local Server Ready: Easily starts a web server on localhost:9001 to build and serve the TVML app, providing real-time feedback during development.
- Xcode Integration: Includes a pre-configured Xcode project (boilerplate.xcodeproj), allowing developers to seamlessly run the application in the Apple TV simulator.
- Build Optimization: Offers options to build both development and optimized versions of the application, accommodating diverse project needs.
- MemoryFS Serving: Features the ability to serve the application from MemoryFS, enabling quick changes without unnecessary delays.
- Legacy Support: An older build configuration using gulp.js is available in a separate branch for those who may need it.
- React
React is a widely used JavaScript library for building user interfaces and single-page applications. It follows a component-based architecture and uses a virtual DOM to efficiently update and render UI components
- Eslint
ESLint is a linter for JavaScript that analyzes code to detect and report on potential problems and errors, as well as enforce consistent code style and best practices, helping developers to write cleaner, more maintainable code.
- Redux
Redux is a state management library for JavaScript apps that provides a predictable and centralized way to manage application state. It enables developers to write actions and reducers that update the state in response to user interactions, server responses, and other events, and can be used with a variety of front-end frameworks and back-end technologies.
- Webpack
Webpack is a popular open-source module bundler for JavaScript applications that bundles and optimizes the code and its dependencies for production-ready deployment. It can also be used to transform other types of assets such as CSS, images, and fonts.
