This repository contains a base that is intended to develop apps for the Tizen OS.

The project is based on framework version 3.0, adds the TAU framework and is configured to use a modern javascript development environment.

You'll find a basic environment configured with

• Webpack
• Typescript
• Sass (scss)
• TAU (Tizen Advanced UI framework)
• Tizen type definitions (to use intellisense within typescript when referencing to tizen API)

The basic config.xml has been taken directly from the tizen-cli.

Important! It seems that the TAU that comes with the example apps of Tizen Studio was broken, several images were missing. I managed to recover an old version of it and created some other images myself. I will try to update the TAU framework when a new version comes out, hoping that the Tizen team realizes that advanced js tools exist.

To use this scaffold you need to have installed npm or yarn. You'll also need to have the tizen studio installed in order to actually test / build the final package.

Tizen wants your application to have a name, package and version. Name and version are interpolated by webpack, taking those defined in the package.json file.

You can edit the tizen-package property in the package.json to use your custom package name.

Develop your application code under the src directory, making sure to insert some bootstrapping code in the app.ts file.

All your styles will go under the css directory, you can import third party libraries as usual using the @import statement. The base TAU css is already included and if you wish to change the theme you can do so by editing the default theme to other TAU themes. (Possible values are black, blue, brown, changeable, default)

To build the final distribution run yarn build or npm run build.

This will generate the final application in the build directory.

You can then use the tizen-cli to test the application and then build the final application distributable.

Whole process on Linux:

yarn build
cd build
tizen package -t wgt -s <yourProfileName> -- ./
tizen install -n <outputName> -t <deviceName> -- ./

You need to have defined the signing certificate and the signing profile in order to install the package (it won't install otherwise).
