npmify

Command Line Tool — npmifier

It enables npm support in your Titanium Classic application.

NOT READY FOR PRODUCTION USE! Use titaniumifier instead!

Cool things

• You can use any npm package you want! (almost…)
• Supports debug! (with a Studio plugin…)
• Once correctly setup you’ll be able to use transpilers (like coffee-script) without any hussle AND debug your app! (there’s no documentation yet…)

Installation

[sudo] npm install --global npmifier

Then in your Titanium Classic application do:

Disclaimer! Backup your app and test it on a clone! It is an intrusive action!

npmifier convert

A package.json will be created for you, and your Resource folder will be moved to Sources.

From this moment on you can run it as you’re used to, with Titanium Studio or the CLI.

You can install npm modules as you‘re used to with Node.js projects.

Debugging

Debug will not work on npmified apps. To enable it you need to install our custom Titanium Studio plugin. Just go to Help › Install New Software… › Add… and use http://smclab.github.io/it.smc.titanium.npmify.updatesite as url.

Once installed edit your .project file to present as the first Project Nature the following:

<nature>it.smc.titanium.npmify.core.nature</nature>

Now you’ll debug npmified apps like a boss directly from Titanium Studio!

TODO

• [ ] Support assets (images, fonts…)
• [ ] Support for titaniumifier modules
• [ ] Support for titanium-resolve-style module resolution
• [ ] Document transformation support (coffee-script, ES6…)
• [ ] Support debug breakpoints on non-js files (you need the debugger keyword by now)
• [ ] Use bluebird instead of when
• [ ] Use titaniumifier itself
• [ ] Use @tonylukasavage’s tiapp.xml instead of our own homebrewed solution
