NativeScript Vue Tab Navigation Template

App templates help you jump start your native cross-platform apps with built-in UI elements and best practices. Save time writing boilerplate code over and over again when you create new apps.

App template featuring a BottomNavigation component for navigation.

Key Features

- Tabbed navigation
- Three blank pages hooked to the bottom navigation
- Customizable theme
- UX and development best practices
- Easy to understand code through extensive code comments

Quick Start

Execute the following command to create an app from this template:

``
ns create my-tab-vue --template @nativescript/template-tab-navigation-vue
`

> Note: This command will create a new NativeScript app that uses the latest version of this template published to npm.

If you want to create a new app that uses the source of the template from the main branch, you can execute the following:

`


clone nativescript-app-templates monorepo locally

git clone git@github.com:NativeScript/nativescript-app-templates.git

create app template from local source (all templates are in the 'packages' subfolder of the monorepo)

ns create my-tab-vue --template nativescript-app-templates/packages/template-tab-navigation-vue
`

NB: Please, have in mind that the main branch may refer to dependencies that are not on NPM yet!

The template has the following pages used for the tab content items:
- /app/components/Items.vue - the master home page. Displays a list of items and navigates to the item details page on item tap.
- /app/components/ItemDetails.vue - the item details page. Displays the details of the tapped item.
- /app/components/Browse.vue - blank page
- /app/components/Search.vue - blank page

This template is set up to use SASS for styling. All classes used are based on the {N} core theme – consult the documentation to understand how to customize it.

It has 3 global style files that are located at the root of the app folder:

- /app/_app-common.scss - the global common style sheet. These style rules are applied to both Android and iOS.
- /app/app.android.scss - the global Android style sheet. These style rules are applied to Android only.
- /app/app.ios.scss` - the global iOS style sheet. These style rules are applied to iOS only.
