How to get started with this new structure?

[AlbertoMeQ]

Hello!

I've been trying to learn how to use djinni but I only found tutorials for the "old" structure.
How would I go about to use this new one instead?

The minimal steps to get a hello world to run properly/easily would be brilliant!

Hi Alberto! I agree, a hello world tutorial would be brilliant. Would you like to add one?
As a community project driven by volunteers in their spare time, we depend heavily on contributions.

There is a documentation page, https://djinni.xlcpp.dev , but a hello world tutorial is not part of it - yet.

Basically, it is like that:

• create your idl file.
• use the generator to generator some code
• build your app by doing the c++/java/oc implementation and using the support-lib.

So the concept is pretty unchanged from the original version.
The 'new' structure just split the mono repo into extra repos and added CI/CD to the parts. But basically, not too much changed.

Hey there! Thanks for the reply a4z :)

The part that I'm struggling with (and it's a bit hard to find a simple and working tutorial online) is that 3rd point.

I would be more than happy to help writing the hello world tutorial for the website but I think I would need some support for it.

P.S. Is there any chat/forum for me to get in touch with the community?

There is a slack forum, with a djinni and a djinni_development channel

you can invite your self via this link (takes sometime some time to load)

looking forward seeing you there!
