Apollo11

Hello, Houston!

Apollo11 is a framework project for elementary OS, hopefully good enough I can start eating the dogfood soon.

The ultimate goal is to develop a skeleton to save developers starting from tabula rasa for every new project and allow them to expect to be able to publish from T minus zero.

Features.

• CMake build setup.
• Requires only elementary-sdk.
• Window with HeaderBar.
• Window position saving and GSettings support.
• AppData.xml for publishing in appcenter.
• Granite.Application about window.
• HeaderBar buttons example.
• Notifications ready to go.

Get it

install the elementary OS SDK

sudo apt install elementary-sdk

clone the Apollo11 repository

git clone https://github.com/Nine-H/apollo11.git
cd apollo11

build the project

mkdir build && cd build
cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr ../
make
sudo make install

Hacking:

The best way to learn is to start reading, so I've tried to keep Apollo11 super light. You should check out hello_houston.vala to add widgets to the window and header.vala to add them to the headerbar, You can start changing your app to use a different name in apollo11.vala but I'll probably eventually make a graphical configurator to do this. This app also serves as a useful reference for backporting basic features and a build system for your own app/hack/shellcommand/w/e.
