appletv-demo
A demo application for AppleTV using atvjs.
Getting Started
Assuming that you have nodejs and npm installed on your machine, do the following to get started:
$ npm install -g gulp # Install Gulp globally
$ npm install # Install dependencies
Accessing Presentation
$ npm run presentation 8080 # Specify optional port if needed
Development
Builds the application and starts a webserver. By default the webserver starts at port 9001.
$ npm start
By default, it builds in debug mode and starts the server with live reload.
- If you need to build otherwise, use
gulp
with additional flags. - If you need to build in release mode, add
--t production
flag. - You can define a port with
--p 8080
flag. (If you start the server on a different port, make sure to update the same in the native application)
Structure
The project is split into two parts:
- native: this directory contains the Xcode project and related files. The AppDelegate.swift file handles the setup of the TVMLKit framework and launching the JavaScript context to manage the application.
- web: this directory contains the JavaScript and TVML template files needed to render the application. The contents of this directory must be hosted on a server accessible from the device.
