nativescript-cloud

Used for cloud support in NativeScript CLI

Contents

Public API

This section describes all methods that can be invoked when you have installed the nativescript-cloud extension and NativeScript CLI is required as library. You must load the installed extensions by calling loadExtensions method. After that you will be able to call methods from nativescript-cloud extension:

const tns = require("nativescript");
Promise.all(tns.extensibilityService.loadExtensions())
.then(loadedExtensionsData => {
// Write your code here, after all extensions are loaded.
});

NOTE: The extension must be installed before using it. You can do it by calling installExtension method of the CLI:

tns.extensibilityService.installExtension("nativescript-cloud@latest")
.then(extensionData => console.log(`Successfully installed extension ${extensionData.extensionName}.`))
.catch(err => console.log("Failed to install extension."));

nsCloudBuildService

The nsCloudBuildService allows build of applications in the cloud. You can call the following methods:

build method

build method validates passed arguments and tries to build the application in the cloud. In case of successful build, the build result (.apk, .aab, .ipa or .zip) is downloaded. The result contains information about the whole build process, path to the downloaded build result and information used to generate a QR code, pointing to the latest build result (in S3).
Definition:

/**
* Builds the specified application in the cloud and returns information about the whole build process.
* @param {INSCloudProjectSettings} projectSettings Describes the current project - project dir, application identifier, name and nativescript data, as well as additional options to control the build workflow.
* @param {string} platform The mobile platform for which the application should be built: Android or iOS.
* @param {string} buildConfiguration The build configuration - Debug or Release.
* @param {string} accountId the account which will be charged for the build.
* @param {IAndroidBuildData} androidBuildData Android specific information for the build.
* @param {IIOSBuildData} iOSBuildData iOS specific information for the build.
* @returns {Promise<IBuildResultData>} Information about the build process. It is returned only on successful build. In case the build fails, the Promise is rejected with the server information.
*/
build(projectSettings: INSCloudProjectSettings,
platform: string,
buildConfiguration: string,
accountId: string,
androidBuildData?: IAndroidBuildData,

nsCloudEulaService

nsCloudEulaService allows interaction with EULA - check if current EULA should be accepted, accepting it, etc.

getEulaData

getEulaData method gives information for the current EULA - url where to find it and if the user should accept it. When this method is called, it will download the latest EULA in case it has not been already downloaded in the current process. EULA must be accepted in the following condition:

  • In case it has never been accepted.
  • In case it has been accepted before, but current EULA is different, i.e. user had not accepted it before.

In all other cases (current EULA is the same as the one user had accepted before, new EULA cannot be downloaded, but user had accepted EULA in the past), the method will return that EULA should not be accepted.

Definition:

/**
* Gives information about the EULA. This method downloads the EULA to a local file (once for process).
* @returns {Promise<IEulaData>} Information about the EULA - url and should the user accept it.
*/
getEulaData(): Promise<IEulaData>;

The returned result is of the following type:

/**
* Contains information about EULA.
*/
interface IEulaData {
/**
* URL where the EULA can be found.
*/
url: string;

/**
* Defines if EULA should be accepted by user.
*/
shouldAcceptEula: boolean;
}

Usage:

const tns = require("nativescript");

tns.nsCloudEulaService.getEulaData()
.then(eulaData => console.log(`EULA url is: ${eulaData.url}. This EULA should ${eulaData.shouldAcceptEula ? "" : "not" } be accepted.`));

getEulaDataWitCache

getEulaDataWithCache method gives information for the current EULA - url where to find it and if the user should accept it. When this method is called, it will download the latest EULA ONLY in case it has not been downloaded in the latest 24 hours. That's the main difference between this method and getEulaData. EULA must be accepted in the following condition:

  • In case it has never been accepted.
  • In case it has been accepted before, but current EULA is different, i.e. user had not accepted it before.

In all other cases (current EULA is the same as the one user had accepted before, new EULA cannot be downloaded, but user had accepted EULA in the past), the method will return that EULA should not be accepted.

Definition:

/**
* Gives information about the EULA. This method downloads the EULA to a local file (once for process)
* only in case the local copy has not been modified for more than 24 hours.
* @returns {Promise<IEulaData>} Information about the EULA - url and should the user accept it.
*/
getEulaDataWithCache(): Promise<IEulaData>;

The returned result has the same type as the one returned by getEulaData.

Usage:

const tns = require("nativescript");

tns.nsCloudEulaService.getEulaDataWithCache()
.then(eulaData => console.log(`EULA url is: ${eulaData.url}. This EULA should ${eulaData.shouldAcceptEula ? "" : "not" } be accepted.`));

acceptEula

acceptEula method downloads the latest EULA (in case it has not been downloaded in the current process), calculates its shasum and saves it in the user setings file. In case any of the operations fails, the acceptEula Promise will be rejected with the error.
Definition:

/**
* Accepts the EULA. The method first downloads the latest EULA (in case it has not been already downloaded in current process) and saves its shasum to user settings file.
* @returns {Promise<void>}
*/
acceptEula(): Promise<void>;

Usage:

Development

The project is written in TypeScript. After cloning it, you can set it up by executing the following commands in your terminal:

  • $ npm i --ignore-scripts - NOTE: --ignore-scripts is a must.
  • $ npm i -g grunt-cli (only in case you do not have it installed globally)
  • $ grunt test (first execution of this command might take a little bit longer, consecutive calls will work much faster)

After that you can make changes in the code. In order to transpile them, just execute:

  • $ grunt

You can pack a new version of the library by executing:

  • $ grunt pack
