NativeScript empowers you to access native APIs from JavaScript directly. The framework currently provides iOS and Android runtimes for rich mobile development and can be utilized in a number of diverse use cases.
Our Getting Started Guides are hands-on tutorials that walk you through developing with NativeScript:
$ git clone https://github.com/NativeScript/NativeScript.git
$ cd NativeScript
# setup workspace for development
$ npm run setup
# list all available commands to run
$ npm startWe love you and PR's 🤗 Please follow our contributing guide and see our code of governance to become as involved as you want to be.

Outside of the source centralized in this repo, the NativeScript framework consists of a number of components, all of which are open source and on GitHub. Here are the major ones:
- iOS runtime
- This repo contains the NativeScript iOS runtime — the code that hosts NativeScript iOS apps, and allows JavaScript code to be executed on iOS devices. The iOS runtime is written in a fun mix of C++, Objective-C, and more.
- Android runtime
- This repo contains the NativeScript Android — the code that hosts NativeScript Android apps, and allows JavaScript code to be executed on Android devices. The Android runtime is written in a fun mix of C++ and Java.
- CLI
- This repo contains the NativeScript command-line interface, which lets you create, build, and run apps using the NativeScript framework. The CLI is written in TypeScript.
- Docs
- This repo contains the NativeScript framework documentation, which is available at http://docs.nativescript.org/. The docs are written in Markdown.
In addition to the code that makes up the NativeScript framework itself, we also provide a number of open-source sample apps that you can reference while building your NativeScript application.
