Thanks for the replies! I am glad to see the tools being bundled into one! Can someone help me with the following doubts?
1) When we create a vue project (`weex init my-project`) then we cannot add the native platforms (`weex platform add android`). This seems to work exclusively with "weex projects" (`weex create my-project`), the type that still uses .we files. I have searched all the branches in the weexpack project and couldn't find a way to add native platforms to a "vue project". Is there someone working on this? If so, where? If not, should I contribute directly to the weexpack project, or that discussion should occur here? 2) I think that the commands `weex init` and `weex create` are there mostly for historical reasons, but will be confusing for the developer. How about adding a parameter to `weex init` so it canl create a legacy .we project? E.g. `weex init my-project --type=we` would do the same as `weex create my-project`. Thanks in advance. I apologise if this discussion should be occurring elsewhere. In that case, please redirect me to the right place :) Tiago On Mon, 20 Mar 2017 at 06:48 蒲欢(拈笑) <[email protected]> wrote: > We have > recently sorted out our tools. > Weex-toolkit > are playing an import role in out development chain.Developers > doesn't care about weexpack or weex-devtools.
