Bring web standards to native platform
======================================

samurai-native enables you to build native apps using web technologies (HTML/CSS) based on its own Web-Core. Support iOS now, Android later.

## Demo apps

* [Testcase](https://github.com/hackers-painters/samurai-native/tree/master/samurai-examples/testcase): Web-Core compatibility test.
* [UICatalog](https://github.com/hackers-painters/samurai-native/tree/master/samurai-examples/catalog): UIKit components usage.
* [Movie app](https://github.com/hackers-painters/samurai-native/tree/master/samurai-examples/movie): A demo app using `api.rottentomatoes.com`
* [Dribbble app](https://github.com/hackers-painters/samurai-native/tree/master/samurai-examples/demo): A demo app using `api.dribbble.com`

## Native Components

You can use the native components such as `UICollectionView` and `UICollectionViewCell` on iOS. This gives your app a consistent look and feel with the rest of the platform ecosystem, and keeps the quality bar high. These components are easily incorporated into your app using `` and `` directly.

```html

```

## HTML Components

You can use the standard HTML tags such as `div` and `img` on iOS. This gives you ability to define your user interface using a hybrid way.

## CSS Fluid layout

We brought the css layout model from the web to samurai-native, css layout makes it simple to build the most common UI layouts, such as stacked and nested boxes with margin and padding. samurai-native also supports common web styles, such as `font-weight` and `border-radius`, and you can extend your style in `SamuraiHtmlRenderStyle` class.

```html


```

```html


Hello, world!

```

```html

.tab-bar {
display: block;
width: 100%;
height: 34px;
background-color: #e5508c;
/* box-shadow: 0px 0.5px 0.5px black; */
z-index: 2;
}

.tab {

font-size: 14px;
line-height: 34px;

text-align: center;
font-weight: normal;
}

...

```

## Easy to Integration

```objc

@implementation MyViewController

- (void)viewDidLoad
{
[self loadTemplate:@"/www/html/dribbble-index.html"];
// [self loadTemplate:@"http://localhost:8000/html/dribbble-index.html"];
}

- (void)dealloc
{
[self unloadTemplate];
}

- (void)onTemplateLoading {}
- (void)onTemplateLoaded {}
- (void)onTemplateFailed {}
- (void)onTemplateCancelled {}

@end
```

## Signal Handling

samurai-native provide a high level event system called `Signal`, you can interact (gesture) with HTML page through signal system.

```html

Swipe left or right

```

```objc
@implementation MyViewController

handleSignal( hello )
{
[self something];
}

handleSignal( prev )
{
[self something];
}

handleSignal( next )
{
[self something];
}

@end
```

## Data Binding

samurai-native provide a efficient way to binding native objects to HTML page in single way through DOM's `name` property.

```html

...

```

```objc

@implementation MyViewController

...

- (void)reloadData
{
self[@"author"] = @{
@"avatar" : "xxx.jpg",
@"title" : @"Hello",
@"name" : @"World"
};
}

@end

```

## Extensibility

samurai-native is designed to be easily extended with custom native components, that means you can reuse anything you've already built, and can import and use your favorite native components.

```objc

@implementation UILabel(Html)

- (void)html_applyDom:(SamuraiHtmlDomNode *)dom
{
[super html_applyDom:dom];

self.text = [dom computeInnerText];
}

- (void)html_applyStyle:(SamuraiHtmlRenderStyle *)style
{
[super html_applyStyle:style];

self.font = [style computeFont:self.font];
self.textColor = [style computeColor:self.textColor];
self.textAlignment = [style computeTextAlignment:self.textAlignment];
self.baselineAdjustment = [style computeBaselineAdjustment:self.baselineAdjustment];
self.lineBreakMode = [style computeLineBreakMode:self.lineBreakMode];
self.numberOfLines = 0;

...
}

@end
```

## Live reload

Add lines below into your `main()` function, samurai-native will applies HTML/CSS changes to iPhoneSimulator without rebuild and run the app.

```objc
[[SamuraiWatcher sharedInstance] watch:@(__FILE__)];
```

## Running the Examples

- clone `https://github.com/hackers-painters/samurai.git`
