nativescript-app-duplicator

A tool to manage duplicated app in same project

What mean this package

Sometimes in our business we have two o more app than are the same but with differents UI. Instead of create more project, this tools helps you to manage multiples app with one project for {N}.

Install

Use it with npx

npm install -g npx

then

npm install nativescript-app-duplicator

How it works

In first place, this plugin works with webpack flow for {N} and every commands needs a project "state" to work. Lets see commands

npx ns-dup [APPNAME] [--option]

Options than require APPNAME:

• --workwith or -w: set the project state to "Working on APPNAME"
• --restore or -r: restore APPNAME on state "not working" and set "Neutral state"
• --new or -n: needs to be in state "WOKRING", it will duplicate the WORKING project with APPNAME namew
• --delete or -d: delete APPNAME project

Not require APPNAME:

• --help or -h: show options

Starting a new project

After you've created a new project with {N} cli, you have to enter in a multiproject state, so you must execute

npx ns-dup [FIRST_PROJECT_NAME] --restore

STATES

When a project is in a "working state" it means that you can work on it, the other project will not be affected ƒrom your changes on it.
