#botlist.json
You're probably thinking "There's only two JSON files here and that's it, how can this possibly be a native app?"
Well, it's because it's powered by Jasonette, which enables native apps over HTTP, using JSON.
The gif you see below is an actual capture of the resulting app
It's fully native, and served directly from this repo over HTTP.
Check out the website to learn how it works.
##How botlist.json works
There are two JSON files here: index.json
and detail.json
. Each describes a view.
-
index.json: The home screen - Makes a network request to
botlist.co
website. - Parses the response into JSON. - Renders the result JSON markup into native components. - Transitions todetail.json
when a user touches an item, passing the corresponding url as a parameter. -
detail.json: The details screen (bot description) - Makes a network request to each bot detail page, using the parameter passed in from
index.json
. - Parses the response into JSON. - Renders the result JSON markup into native components.
##How to use
- Download Jasonette.
- Run
Setup
. - When asked for url, enter the raw JSON url for index.json.
