I am building a TVOS app in Xcode. I know it is recommended to have following file structure:

  • client/ (this folder is outside my project folder)
  • client/templates (tvml files)
  • client/js (javascript files)

But client/ is not part of my tvosapp.xcodeproj, therefore in XCode, I cannot see the tVML files.

Questions:

  1. How do I include the /templates /js folders in my project to be submitted in XCode?

  2. If I have 2 projects, how can I separate the /templates /js folder for each project if I share the same /client folder?

    You can put all in the same folder as long as you llink the files correctly in your code. – sailens Dec 28 '15 at 15:02

Check out this https://github.com/toshi0383/TVMLKitchen its something I came across a couple days ago and it works great. It requires a bit of restructure to your current TVOS app as it hijacks the Navigation and focus engine (pretty sure at least). I branched what I was working on and used this and my life is so much easier. No server, all parsed on the client. Extremely fast and a lot of flexibility.

You need not have the exact same specified structure of client from the sample code, to me, as a front-end developer it looks bloated.

Have a look at this sample code that I ported from the original sample code which is using a better structured client setup. Though it uses atvjs framework, you'll get a sense of how to better structure your client application.
