Djinni Library

A template for a Djinni library that can be used in Java/Kotlin on Android, ObjC/Swift on iOS/macOS and C# on Windows.

Features

• 🧞‍♂️ Develop your library once in C++, use it in Code written in Java, C++/CLI (.NET 6) or Swift thanks to Djinni.
• 👨‍👩‍👦‍👦 Can build & bundle binaries for
  • macOS, iOS (XCFramework)
  • Android (AAR)
  • Windows .NET 6.0 (NuGet)
  • Linux
• 🎣 Dependency Management with Conan
• 🧶 Easy to use CLI to configure build output for different platforms
• 📑 Building Doxygen docs for all target languages

How to use this template

• Create a new repository using this template. Check it out on your local machine.
• Create a VERSION file specifying a temporary version for local development. The build process relies on the existence of either a VERSION-file (e.g. 0.0.1), or a Git release tag (e.g. v0.0.1) for determining the library version.
• Make sure you understand how to use it in your project & how to build & run for development before you change something.
• Search for all occurrences of "MyDjinniLibrary", "DjinniLibrary", "My" in the project to replace all occurrences of the template target and/or namespaces. You can ignore anything inside lib/djinni-generated, as it will be updated by Djinni automatically.

Installation

This template integrates into each build system by providing a package format native to each platform.

Android (Android Library)

1. Add the repository to your project

   repositories {
       maven {
           url "https://maven.pkg.github.com/jothepro/djinni-library-template"
       }
   }

2. Add the package dependencies to your applications build.gradle file:

   dependencies {
       implementation 'my.djinnilibrary:mydjinnilibrary'
   }

Visual Studio 17 2022 (NuGet Package)

The NuGet package only works for .NET 6 (Core) Projects!

1. Add the Package Source.

   https://nuget.pkg.github.com/jothepro/index.json

2. In the NuGet Package Manager search for MyDjinniLibrary and install the package.

XCode (Swift Package)

1. Add the repository jothepro/djinni-library-template-swiftpackage as Package dependency to your XCode project. It contains the XCFramework with the Objective-C binaries.
2. Add this import to the swift code:

   import MyDjinniLibrary

Linux (Conan Recipe)

This template is meant to be used in a C++ project on Linux, e.g. together with gtkmm-3.0. The binary for Linux consists of just the C++ interface without any wrapper.

1. Add the conan remote.

   conan remote add djinni_library_template https://gitlab.com/api/v4/projects/27897297/packages/conan

2. Add the library as dependency in your conanfile.

   [requires]
   my_djinni_library/1.0.0@jothepro/release
