The LiquidCore Project

LiquidCore provides an environment for developers to create native mobile micro apps in Javascript that can in turn be embedded into other apps. Think: native <iframe> for mobile apps. A LiquidCore micro app is simply a Node.js module that can be served from the cloud, and therefore, like in a webpage, it can be modified server-side and instantly updated on all mobile devices.

LiquidCore also provides a convenient way for Android developers to execute raw JavaScript inside of their apps, as iOS developers can already do natively with JavaScriptCore.

For a description of how to use LiquidCore, please see the appropriate README under LiquidCoreAndroid or LiquidCoreiOS.

Version

0.5.0 Release

Android

Get it through JitPack

Step 1. Add it in your root build.gradle at the end of repositories:

allprojects {
	repositories {
		...
		maven { url 'https://jitpack.io' }
	}
}

Step 2. Add the dependency

dependencies {
        implementation 'com.github.LiquidPlayer:LiquidCore:0.5.0'
}

iOS

The framework is distributed through Carthage.

  1. Install Carthage as described here.

  2. Create a Cartfile that includes the LiquidCore framework: git "git@github.com:LiquidPlayer/LiquidCore.git" ~> 0.5.0

  3. Run carthage update. This will fetch dependencies into a Carthage/Checkouts folder, then build each one or download a pre-compiled framework.

  4. On your application targets’ General settings tab, in the “Linked Frameworks and Libraries” section, drag and drop LiquidCore.framework from the Carthage/Build folder on disk.

  5. On your application targets’ Build Phases settings tab, click the + icon and choose New Run Script Phase. Create a Run Script in which you specify your shell (ex: /bin/sh), add the following contents to the script area below the shell:

    /usr/local/bin/carthage copy-frameworks
  6. Add the paths to the framework under “Input Files":

    $(SRCROOT)/Carthage/Build/iOS/LiquidCore.framework
    
  7. Add the paths to the copied framework to the “Output Files”:

    $(BUILT_PRODUCTS_DIR)/$(FRAMEWORKS_FOLDER_PATH)/LiquidCore.framework
