Quick-start guide

This guide introduces how to create a new project and run it on simulator or device.

STEP 1 - create a new project:

follow the video below.

• After install Thera, click start a new Thera project for Weex to create a Weex project
• Set the project name，Thera will create a main.we file as the entrance of the project.
• Set the project location where the project is located.

Note: the project location should be able to access, otherwise creating will fail. You can check recent created projects in the project navigator, and remove them in folder.

Several files will be created automatically after crating project, Thera recommend you using main.we as the project entrance file, using mock.json to mock local data, and build directory to save weex transforming result. You can modify the settings in the Thera project configuration file -- .thera/launch.json . Some files are used by Thera and cloud service, you can ignore them.

STEP 2 - Edit:

Please follow the video

• Context-dependent code completion
• Code highlight of Weex & Vue
• Realtime hint when editing Weex based on linter

Note: Use .we file extension or specify weex file format to enable features above.

STEP 3 - Run:

Please follow the video

• Thera will detect local simulators. After click run button, Thera will start corresponding simulator and install oreo preview app for you to check result on real time.
• Thera will start a local delegate server (named Dumpling) in order to make connection between Thera and preview app. Dumpling use local port 7001 by default, you can change it in Thera configuration.
• When multiple device connected to Thera, you can choose one device(simulator or real device) at a time to check variables, properties, performance.

Note: please make sure you have installed simulators. We recommend you check simulators on XCode/Genymotion first, and restart Thera if simulators cannot be recognized. Because starting Simulator at first time may fail.
