This plugin contains type information about the native platforms as exposed by the NativeScript framework.
Offically supported entry points:
android.d.ts- For android SDK and runtime types.ios.d.ts- For iOS SDK and runtime types.
Using the declarations may conflict with DOM typings,
consider using TypeScript 2.x.x and the following settings in your tsconfig.json:
{ "compilerOptions": { "module": "commonjs", "target": "es5", "experimentalDecorators": true, "lib": [ "es6", "dom" ] }}Create reference.d.tsand add the following content:
/// <reference path="./node_modules/tns-platform-declarations/ios.d.ts" />/// <reference path="./node_modules/tns-platform-declarations/android.d.ts" />By default the android.d.ts file contains the typings for android API level 17. If your application has a higher minimum API level you can reference that level instead:
/// <reference path="./node_modules/tns-platform-declarations/android-24.d.ts" />d.ts files require a lot of memory and CPU. Consider adding skipLibCheck option to tsconfig file.
Generate android .d.ts files
- To generate android dependencies use android-dts-generator with the appropriate android version and android support jars
- To regenerate android-*.d.ts file use the android-dts-generator passing the corresponding android jar (described here)
- More details for using the android-dts-generator can be found in this article.
Generate ios .d.ts files
The .d.ts files for iOS are generated using iOS Runtime's metadata generator. You can use the typings-gen.sh script like this:
./typings-gen.sh rc [<path-to-medatadata-generator-binary>]Where rc can be an NPM tag/version of tns-ios that will be used for generating the typings. If the metadata generator to be used has not been released in NPM, you can optionally specify its path as a 2nd argument.
