How NativeScript Works

Valio Stoychev March 5, 2015

NativeScript is a runtime that lets you build native iOS, Android, and (soon) Windows Universal apps using JavaScript code. NativeScript has a lot of cool features, such as two-way data binding between JavaScript objects and native UI components, and a CSS implementation for native apps. But my favorite feature, and the subject of this article, is NativeScript’s mechanism for giving you direct access to native platform APIs.

So you like what NativeScript does for you and now you want to know how the magic happens? How your JavaScript code turns into a native mobile app? Then you should definitely read the blog post by our developer evangelist TJ VanToll (@tjvantoll) to deep dive into the topic and feel more comfortable knowing how the framework works and what you are shipping with your app.
