kinvey-nativescript-sdk

Overview

Kinvey (pronounced Kin-vey, like convey) makes it ridiculously easy for developers to setup, use and operate a cloud backend for their mobile apps. They don't have to worry about connecting to various cloud services, setting up servers for their backend, or maintaining and scaling them.

This SDK makes it easy to connect your Nativescript apps with Kinvey.

How to use

Install the NativeScript plugin

tns plugin add kinvey-nativescript-sdk

Install via npm

npm install --save kinvey-nativescript-sdk

Import the Kinvey NativeScript SDK (ES6/TypeScript):

import { Kinvey } from 'kinvey-nativescript-sdk';

A TypeScript type definition file is included in the distribution and will automatically be picked up by the TypeScript compiler.

Build from Source

The master branch represents the latest stable code in the SDK. To build the SDK, use the following -

npm run build

To test -

npm run test

Note: Before running any tests you will need to run npm install to install any dependencies required.

All Kinvey JS SDKs are organized as a common core and platform specific shims. To build the entire SDK source -

• Clone and build the core kinvey-js-sdk. The NativeScript shim currently requires that you use the nativescript branch of the core.
• Edit the package.json of this repo to point to your local copy of the kinvey-js-sdk.
• Build this repo.
