All the tutorial pages use the src/assets path for the image files. However, the repo for the tutorial app source code uses app/assets for three options:

1. Plain
2. Svelte
3. Vue

The tutorial text should be brought in line with the actual project structure in these three files:

1. tutorial/plain.md
2. tutorial/svelte.md
3. tutorial/vue.md

The existing src/assets text is correct for both Angular and React.

I see a lot of features in the NS core and NS-cli repos but I don't see them making it to the new documentation. Couldn't a "bot" check all the new FEATs they have before being documented in this repo? This is just an idea, so as not to leave new features in the pipeline

I am trying to access native android apis.
I have created a new project with the version of ns8, installed the types. But when I try to access the widget I get an error

I have gone to look for information in the documents ns typings and I have realized that there is no section on the cli, there is no place where to see the compatible commands.

I think it would be nice to add a new space in the documents where it addresses everything about the cli.

Following the steps at Building for Smart Watches, I went through a couple of issues listed below:

• I couldn't find the fields WKCompanionAppBundleIdentifier and WKAppBundleIdentifier but I assumed them to be the Bundle identifier field.
• When I ran ns run ios, I got the Multiple commands produce error and I'm stuck there. I tried many suggested solutions but nothing worked so far. Could you please tell me what could be causing the error and if my assumption for the point is correct?

Hi!

I am just installing NativeScript on a fresh npm installation and I can't find how to install nativescript in the docs, especially in the introduction.

This page should show the command, before the "Overview of NativeScript development" section.

Thanks!

When you search in the documents: for example Label, if you click on the first option it first takes you to https://docs.nativescript.org/ui-and-styling.html#label and then changes to https://docs.nativescript.org/ui-and-styling.html#frame in my case. Does the same with everything.

It's a bit random, sometimes it leads to the section and sometimes it doesn't. (for me most do not)

See this image -> https://docs.nativescript.org/assets/images/tutorial/tutorial-example-app-details-breakdown.png

Has a label that says "Here Image" while the tutorial text refers to it as the "Hero Image". The assets/images/tutorial/ directory doesn't seem to exist here in the repo. I'm not sure what it would take to replace the image in production.

where can i find instructions for using theme UI on NS8 like https://v7docs.nativescript.org/ui/theme

I used markdown-link-check to check for broken links.
The result is below,

I was going to raise a pull request to fix the ones linking to the api-reference, but am unsure if adding a redirect, or just fixing the link in the md file is the best thing to do ?

I'd be inclined to say fix the links in the markdown.

I have noticed that the event parameter types in the documentation are not included. Is there any reason for this? I ask this question to type them in the documentation

Hi, I am trying to understand how to develop apps with NativeScript and I am completely lost. I do have experience with JS and I was able to catch the workflow, but I don't understand the app structure (I mean which code goes where and why, not the tree directory structure), the differences between versions and so on.

For example, I was able to make a demo in Playground but now that I want to run the project locally, it seems there are so many changes that I haven't being able to run it (migration didn't work).

These docs are good reference, but I didn't see an explanation about what “views” are (my experience is in web development, so I dunno the structure or logic for app development). Stack Overflow is full of info but a lot of it seems outdated or at least the syntax is different of what I have seen in version 8.

So anything that works to understand app development logic and structure with NativeScript would be appreciated.

Nice effort, btw!

Hi!

I'm trying out nativescript, I come from ionic development but I don't like it's governance model (and business model neither!)

I want to share my method for preparing my environment, as I think is less invasive with my OS (Ubuntu GNU/Linux 20.04) (no ubuntu ppas needed, nothing downloaded with no future updates either, leaving a cleaner environment):

For installing node, I use python virtual environments and nodeenv:

sudo apt install python3-virtualenv

in project folder I create it, and activate it:

virtualenv .python_env
source .python_env/bin/activate

now, in ptyhon virtual environment I can install nodeenv for node virtual environments:

(.python_env) pip install nodeenv
(.python_env) nodeenv .env

deactivate python environment, and safely remove it, activating now node virtualenvironment

(.python_env) deactivate
rm -r .python
source .env/bin/activate

And now we can work!!

(.env) npm install -g nativescript
(.env) etc.

for Android Studio I use snap, as it is very updated
for java the default 1.8 version of openjdk is stable and works. (ubuntu 20.04 has also versions 11, 13, 16 and 17 in its repositories but I have never test them, and can be problematic as I need version 8 for other software from state administration)
What I don't find is version 14!

cheers and happy hacking!

In the tutorials:
https://github.com/NativeScript/docs-new/blob/develop/tutorial/plain.md?plain=1#L164
https://github.com/NativeScript/docs-new/blob/develop/tutorial/react.md?plain=1#L171
https://github.com/NativeScript/docs-new/blob/develop/tutorial/angular.md?plain=1#L222
https://github.com/NativeScript/docs-new/blob/develop/tutorial/svelte.md?plain=1#L140
https://github.com/NativeScript/docs-new/blob/develop/tutorial/vue.md?plain=1#L151

Local rareness to images are setup, but those images are not provided in the tutorial.

I did some url hacking to try and find them, but wasn't successful. Can we link to a directory that contains some sample images?

When a user clicks Javascript or Svelte online starter on https://docs.nativescript.org/setup/ & on https://docs.nativescript.org/guide/creating-a-project then an error 404 is thrown.

I would like to rectify this error so that the documentation's usability increases.

at https://docs.nativescript.org/http.html#request
import { Http, HttpResponse } from '@nativescript/core'

Http.request({
url: 'https://httpbin.org/get',
method: 'GET'
}).then(
(response: HttpResponse) => {
// Argument (response) is HttpResponse
console.log(Response Status Code: ${response.statusCode})
console.log(Response Headers: ${response.statusCode})
console.log(Response Content: ${response.content})
},
e => {}
)
I believe in the second log it needs to be response.headers instead of response.statusCode

I'm starting with nativescript 8 but the documentation for version 8 is horrible, version 7 has much better documentation but they are not compatible in most cases.

The official documentation shows an example to extending the android application, but it does not show its imports:

@NativeClass()
@JavaProxy('org.myApp.Application')
class Application extends android.app.Application {
  public onCreate(): void {
    super.onCreate()
    // At this point modules have already been initialized
    // Enter custom initialization code here
  }

  public attachBaseContext(baseContext: android.content.Context) {
    super.attachBaseContext(baseContext)
    // This code enables MultiDex support for the application (if needed)
    // androidx.multidex.MultiDex.install(this);
  }
}

I couldn't get the "android.app.Application" class to be recognized, even after importing the following:

import { android } from '@nativescript/core/application';

Looking at the content of "@nativescript/core/application", I see that those properties do not exist and that for example the property "android.app.Application" was changed to "nativeApp".

I don't know if I'm importing the correct class or maybe I'm missing a type import or something like that, because in the NativeScript source codes they refer to "android.app.Application" without any import that refers to it.

I know I'm missing something, but seriously the official documentation for version 8 needs to be corrected or improved

The link only works from the home page but not the docs page etc. where it also appears.
I wasn't sure if .vitepress\theme\nativescript-theme\index.js was the place to change it as it looks like generated code.

Currently the admob plugin is commented out in the vitepress config. Something in the MD causes vitepress to error about missing end tag, looked it over and can't locate which line exactly.
