enaml-native 3.1.0

Build native mobile apps in python

# enaml-native Build native mobile apps in python using enaml and native widgets! [](https://travis-ci.org/codelv/enaml-native) [](https://codecov.io/gh/codelv/enaml-native) [](https://gitter.im/enaml-native/Lobby)

The goal of this project is to be an alternative to using [kivy](https://kivy.org/) for building mobile apps with python.

I made this because wanted to have a more “React Native” like environment that: 1. Uses python 2. Uses native widgets (Android / iOS) 3. Can be run from Android Studio / XCode (ie no bootstraps) 4. Uses enaml’s models, and declarative and dynamic widget framework instead of kvlang 5. Uses versioned “packages” and “recipes” than can be installed/updated/removed to make repeatable builds (like rnpm)

### Docs and Examples ###

See the [project site](https://www.codelv.com/projects/enaml-native/). There’s also some short tutorials and examples on [youtube](https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLXUaMWWFaOjT2WdIrJdTYjEMJmrjuvVz0).

### Add-on Packages ###

Enaml-native was redesigned so separate “packages” can be created and installed to add new native widgets and other apis. Similar to the [kivy-garden](https://github.com/kivy-garden/) but it borrows the concepts of the [react-native package manager](https://github.com/rnpm/rnpm).

Packages can be created using the enaml-native init-package <your-package-name> command. Once made they can be installed with pip or the enaml-native install command (recommended).

#### Packages ####

• GoogleMap support via [enaml-native-maps](https://github.com/codelv/enaml-native-maps)

• MPAndroidChart graphing via [enaml-native-charts](https://github.com/codelv/enaml-native-charts)

• ZXing barcode scanning via [enaml-native-barcode](https://github.com/codelv/enaml-native-barcode)

• Iconfiy icons via [enaml-native-icons](https://github.com/codelv/enaml-native-icons)

### Features ### 1. Enaml’s features: declarative syntax, conditional and looper rendering, automatic data binding 2. Layouts with flexbox 3. Live app code reloading (like react-native’s live reload) 4. Versioned package management and native library linking 5. Remote debugging with your favorite IDE (like react-native’s remote debugger)

### Apps ###

Apps using enaml-native can be found [here](https://www.codelv.com/projects/enaml-native/apps/).

### Demos ### 1. Try out the beta demo app here [on google play](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.frmdstryr.enamlnative.demo) 2. Try out code without installing the android SDK or NDK via the [Python Playground](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.frmdstryr.pythonplayground)!

### Status ###

##### Android

Currently enaml-native’s Android support is good enough to make real usable app. A lot of components are supported and several apps have already been relased using enaml-native.

##### iOS

Currently enaml-native’s iOS support is not yet good enough to make a real app. Only a few components are implemented at the moment and a lot of work is needed to get it to the point where it’s really usable, but my “proof of concept” demo shows that it does work.
