nodekit-cli v0.8.60

{NK} NodeKit is the universal, open-source, embedded engine that provides a full Node.js instance inside desktop and mobile applications for macOS, iOS, Android, and Windows.

This repository provides a command line interface to create a new {NK} NodeKit skeleton app for any or all of the target platforms, and/or wraps an existing Node.js, desktop or web application in a {NK} NodeKit package that can be deployed to each of the appropriate app stores.

See nodekit.io for further details on {NK} NodeKit

Use of Cordova Command Line Tooling

Note that the command line interface for creating, building and running platforms is adapted from the Cordova Command line interface. The platforms directory will contain some files forked from the Cordova repositories but these are only used during the build phase, and the Cordova engine is not included in the NodeKit runtime engine. We do this because XCode, Visual Studio and Android Studio continue to evolve their build pipelines and project file structures, and so we can get the benefits of all the hard work that goes into cordova-cli, cordova-lib and cordova-common.
