NativeScript Documentation
Welcome to the NativeScript documentation content repository. This repository contains the content that lives at http://docs.nativescript.org, and is generated by Jekyll.
Multiple configurations
We have two Jekyll builds for the documentation that generate similar output: nativescript and angular. The former builds the vanilla NativeScript docs, while the latter discusses Angular2-specific topics. Most of the content is shared between the two, and several options are available to add environment-specific content:
-
Pages that appear in certain environment only. Adding an
environment: angularto a page's front matter will mark that page as being available only in that environment. Other environment builds will exclude it. Pages not marked withenvironmentwill be shared across all environments. -
Display different content on shared pages. This is possible via our environment-related block tags, named
angularandnativescriptrespectively:{% nativescript %}Dependency properties...{% endnativescript %} {% angular %}Change detection...{% endangular %}[

Formed in 2009, the Archive Team (not to be confused with the archive.org Archive-It Team) is a rogue archivist collective dedicated to saving copies of rapidly dying or deleted websites for the sake of history and digital heritage. The group is 100% composed of volunteers and interested parties, and has expanded into a large amount of related projects for saving online and digital history.
