NativeScript with Angular Drawer Navigation Template

App templates help you jump start your native cross-platform apps with built-in UI elements and best practices. Save time writing boilerplate code over and over again when you create new apps.

App template featuring a RadSideDrawer component for navigation. The RadSideDrawer component is part of Progress NativeScript UI.

Key Features

  • Side drawer navigation
  • Five blank pages hooked to the drawer navigation
  • Customizable theme
  • UX and development best practices
  • Easy to understand code

Quick Start

Execute the following command to create an app from this template:

ns create my-drawer-ng --template @nativescript/template-drawer-navigation-ng

Note: This command will create a new NativeScript app that uses the latest version of this template published to npm.

If you want to create a new app that uses the source of the template from the main branch, you can execute the following:

# clone nativescript-app-templates monorepo locally
git clone [email protected]:NativeScript/nativescript-app-templates.git

# create app template from local source (all templates are in the 'packages' subfolder of the monorepo)
ns create my-drawer-ng --template nativescript-app-templates/packages/template-drawer-navigation-ng

NB: Please, have in mind that the main branch may refer to dependencies that are not on NPM yet!

Walkthrough

Architecture

The RadSideDrawer component is set up as an application root view in:

  • /src/app/app-component - sets up the side drawer content and defines a page router outlet for the pages.

RadSideDrawer has the following component structure:

  • RadSideDrawer - The component to display a drawer on the page.
  • tkDrawerContent directive - Marks the component that will hold the drawer content.
  • tkMainContent directive - Marks the component that will hold the app main content.

There are five blank components located in these folders:

  • /src/app/browse/browse.component
  • /src/app/featured/featured.component
  • /src/app/home/home.component
  • /src/app/search/search.component
  • /src/app/settings/settings.component

Styling

This template is set up to use SASS for styling. All classes used are based on the {N} core theme – consult the documentation to understand how to customize it.

It has 3 global style files that are located at the root of the app folder:

  • /src/_app-common.scss - the global common style sheet. These style rules are applied to both Android and iOS.
  • /src/app.android.scss - the global Android style sheet. These style rules are applied to Android only.
  • /src/app.ios.scss - the global iOS style sheet. These style rules are applied to iOS only.
