Project hosted on npm Sources available on github

Usage

Init a project

Go to your project folder with terminal and type :

air-compiler init

This will create a compiler.config.js file in your project root. Compiling process will also create a tmp/ folder in your project root.

Configure a project

Once the project is initialised, just feed the compiler.config.js file. You have to fill mandatory parameters like Air SDK Path etc. You can add simulation profiles and compiling profiles.

Launch SDK simulator

Just pass the simulator profile name as first argument.

Ex : launch the Air simulator with the default iphone screen size

air-compiler iphone

Ex : If you create your own simulator profile in the config file

air-compiler mySimulationProfile

Compile

Just pass the compiling profile name as first argument.

Ex : Compile the test profile

air-compiler test
