What is this?

This project's goal is to create a development kit fully based on nw.js (previously node-webkit) and angular.js.

This project is currently actively maintained by Athom and PRINTR.

If you're in the need of a development kit for your own project or company as well, please feel free to contribute!

Get started

Installation

Requirements: node.js, bower, grunt, nw.js

1. Fork/download this repo and clone locally.
2. Create a subfolder called core and clone printhom/devkit-core in it.
3. run npm install to install node dependencies
4. run bower install to install front-end dependencies
5. run grunt to compile dependencies
6. Make an alias to the nw.js executable as nw
7. run nw . in the cloned folder

Develop

The editor consists of a framework, with components:

• editors (e.g. a code editor, a JSON editor..)
• widgets (e.g. a markdown viewer..)
• headers (e.g. a title bar, a 'Run' button..)
• popups (e.g. a settings popup, a login popup)
• themes

This core ships some components, that can be found in ./core/components/. You can extend these for your own application by putting them in ./app/components/ and referencing to them in ./app/app.js.

Run grunt watch before running nw.js . while development, or your changes won't be applied.

Build instructions

1. install node-webkit-builder npm install node-webkit-builder -g
2. run node build in the directory of this repository
