Get started with Jive

First of all there are 2 versions of Jive.

• Legacy. There are several apps in production . We support it but not planning new development there.
• Next. It’s a main version. Now it’s under construction. We’re going to have huge progress here in 2016.

Whole information here is about the next version.

Install

Requirements:

• Haxe Toolkit
• OpenFL
• actuate
• unifill
• svg
• bindx2
• hml

So after installing the Haxe Toolkit and the OpenFl it needs to run:

haxelib install actuate
haxelib install unifill
haxelib install svg
haxelib install bindx2
haxelib install hml

The next version is not in the lib.haxe.org. So it needs to clone it from github repository:

haxelib git jive https://github.com/jiveui/jive

Usage

The Jive has a command tool. It can be run by

haxelib run jive

The arguments are the same as the OpenFL command line tool has. So to test the Jive app you can just run

haxelib run jive test [ios|android|cpp]

The first app

The next step is to create an app using Jive. Let’s create a Heart of Jive application.
