New Upcoming Exciting Features of NativeScript 6.0


NativeScript 6.0 is going to be the major release for this framework, the developers of the NativeScript framework put there maximum efforts to make world-class Webpack which provides a stellar development experience. 

Every release for the past 1.5 years was a step towards to achieve this goal and finally, preview of NativeScript 6.0 has been launched.

NativeScript 6.0 also brings support for AndroidX, this paves the road for many new features that will come in the Android system. Here we are going to list out some important features of NativeScript 6.0: 

      Webpack being the only way to develop. This also means that by default Hot Module Replacement will be enabled.
      Support For AndroidX
      "markingMode: None" is now the default option when you create a new NativeScript application. 

Additionally, all plug-ins are developed and maintained by the NativeScript team and used templates are already compatible with these changes. The team will continue to work on the amazing features as they progress towards the official release. 

How can anyone give it a try? 

First, you need to install the Released Candidate version of the CLI, you can use this command line "npm install -g nativescript@rc". After that it becomes so easy, this command line will perform all the required updates and packages and changes in the project that are needed to adjust a pre 6.0 project with the latest requirements. 

This means all you need to do is to update your project to execute the following in your existing project by using the command line "tns migrate". If you want to create a new compatible project you need to use the command line "tns create <your create option>  tns migrate". 

What if anyone finds a problem? 

As soon as anyone finds a problem please open an issue in the respective GitHub repository. You just need to describe the problem in detail, you are experiencing. A playground project or a sample application that demonstrates the issues will dramatically improve the time for resolution. 

This is all about the new upcoming version of NativeScript 6.0. If you want to more details about this then go and check out the official keynote.
