My Step into NativeScript
How hard is to move away from Vanila Javascript to any other modern web frameworks? For a guy like me, it seemed to be like a Rocket Science, which could be understood only by experts.
My perception was WRONG and it got changed, when I stepped up to develop a web application with Angular + NativeScript.
Never has such a lovely pairing happened, especially for those of us who write Angular. And because we can write Angular in NativeScript, we get to leverage the benefits of RXJS (yet another cool stuff, not available in vanila JS ;))
Below are the two major process involved in creating a web application,
- Creating a simple NativeScript app with components, routes, and theming.
- Configure actions with RxJS and calling data from Angular services.
Pre-requisites
Docs: NativeScript breaks their docs into NativeScript (pure JS) and NativeScript + Angular. Here is the link for you Angularians.
