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:

tns create my-drawer-ng --template tns-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 master branch, you can execute the following:

tns create my-drawer-ng --template https://github.com/NativeScript/template-drawer-navigation-ng

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

Walkthrough

Architecture

The RadSideDrawer component is set up as an application starting point in:

  • /app-component.ts - 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:

  • /browse
  • /featured
  • /home
  • /search
  • /settings

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. Check it out to see what classes you can use on which component.

It has 4 global style files that are located at the root of the app folder:

  • _app-variables.scss - holds the global SASS variables that are imported on each component's styles.
  • _app-common.scss - the global common style sheet. These style rules are applied to both Android and iOS.
  • app.android.scss - the global Android style sheet. These style rules are applied to Android only.
  • app.ios.scss - the global iOS style sheet. These style rules are applied to iOS only.
