A collection of very useful modules to work with Appcelerator Titanium and Alloy.

Most of these modules are proxy object for Titanium API and some of these add features missing or expose functions usefuls for UI normalization.

To install this framework, you have to copy it to your app/lib directory.

Download the latest release and unzip in app/lib/T

Or, open your Terminal app, move to your Titanium project, and simply type:

wget https://github.com/CaffeinaLab/Trimethyl/archive/1.2.2.tar.gz -O T.tar.gz;
mkdir -p app/lib/T;
tar -xvf T.tar.gz -C app/lib/T --strip-components=1

If you want to install the master version directly from GitHub, just clone this repository:

git clone [email protected]:CaffeinaLab/Trimethyl.git app/lib/T

The master version coulb be unstable, so use at your risk.

Each module reads from the config.json its configuration.

For example, the module named X, will read the Alloy.CFG.T.X object.

You can customize the options passed for each modules, editing your config.json file:

{
	...
	"T":{
		"X": {
			...
		},
		...
	}
	...

In your app/alloy.js file, on the first line:

require('T/trimethyl');

Or, if you want to provide an helper to load the Trimethyl modules, write:

function T(name) { return require('T/'+name); }
T('trimethyl');

Requiring T will bootstrap some important framework files, set prototypes, TSS vars and Alloy.Globals vars.

To require a module, just call

var X = require('T/X'); /* or T('X') */

where X is the module that you want to use.

Please refer to the documentation for full-usage.

Each module read the Alloy.CFG.T.__MODULENAME__ properties in your config.json file to configure itself.

There are some modules that can be used too in your XML Alloy files, like:

• XP.UI: Provide cross-platforms UI elements to handle differences between platforms
• UI: Provide new UI elements that missing from some platforms

Please refer to the documentation for full-usage.
