Bootplate

Bootplate is a simplified way of creating an app, providing a skeleton of the program's folder tree. The Bootplate template provides a complete starter project that supports source control and cross-platform deployment out of the box. It can be used to facilitate both the creation of a new project and the preparation for its eventual deployment.[5]

Libraries

  • Layout: Fittables, scrollers, lists, drawers, panels.
  • Onyx: Based on the original styled of webOS/Touchpad design but available for use on any platform.
  • Moonstone: Used by LG SmartTV apps but available for use on any platform.
  • Spotlight: To support key-based interactions and "point and click" events on remote controls and keyboards.
