appletv-boilerplate

A boilerplate for bootstrapping AppleTV apps using atvjs.

Assuming that you have nodejs and npm installed on your machine, do the following to get started:

$ npm install -g gulp                   # Install Gulp globally
$ npm install                           # Install dependencies

Builds the application and starts a webserver. By default the webserver starts at port 9001.

$ npm start

By default, it builds in debug mode and starts the server with live reload.

If you need to build otherwise, use gulp with additional flags.
If you need to build in release mode, add --t production flag.
You can define a port with --p 8080 flag. (If you start the server on a different port, make sure to update the same in the native application)

The project is split into two parts:

native: this directory contains the Xcode project and related files. The AppDelegate.swift file handles the setup of the TVMLKit framework and launching the JavaScript context to manage the application.
web: this directory contains the JavaScript and TVML template files needed to render the application. The contents of this directory must be hosted on a server accessible from the device.
