To build your AGL project using these templates, you have to install
them within your project and adjust compilation option in `config.cmake`.
For technical reasons, you also have to specify **cmake** target in

+sub CMakeLists.txt installed. Make a global search to find source files
+isn't recommended now to handle project build especially in a multi-users
project because CMake will not be aware of new or removed source files.
You'll find usage samples here:
**git submodule** then use `config.cmake` file to configure your project specificities :
```bash
-git submodule add https://gerrit.automotivelinux.org/gerrit/apps/app-templatesconf.d/app-templates conf.d/app-templates
+git submodule add https://gerrit.automotivelinux.org/gerrit/p/apps/app-templates.git conf.d/app-templates
mkdir conf.d/cmake
-cp conf.d/app-templates/cmake/config.cmake.sample conf.d/cmake/config.cmake
+cp conf.d/app-templates/samples.d/config.cmake.sample conf.d/cmake/config.cmake
```
Edit the copied config.cmake file to fit your needs.
use:
```bash
-cp conf.d/app-templates/cmake/CMakeLists.txt CMakeLists.txt
+cp conf.d/app-templates/samples.d/CMakeLists.txt.sample CMakeLists.txt
```
### Create your CMake targets
to include this target to your project.
Using it, make available the cmake variable ***TARGET_NAME*** until the next
-***PROJECT_TARGET_ADD*** is invoked with a new target name.
+***PROJECT_TARGET_ADD*** is invoked with a new target name.
So, typical usage defining a target is:
SET_TARGET_PROPERTIES(${TARGET_NAME} PROPERTIES.... --> fit target properties
for macros usage
-
-INSTALL(TARGETS ${TARGET_NAME}....
```
### Targets PROPERTIES
Choose between:
- **BINDING**: Shared library that be loaded by the AGL Application Framework
-- **HTDOCS**: Root directory of a web app
-- **DATA**: Resources used by your application
+- **BINDINGV2**: Shared library that be loaded by the AGL Application Framework
+ This has to be accompagnied with a JSON file named like the
+ *${OUTPUT_NAME}-apidef* of the target that describes the API with OpenAPI
+ syntax (e.g: *mybinding-apidef*).
+ Or Alternatively, you can choose the name, without the extension, using macro
+ **set_openapi_filename**. If you use C++, you have to set **PROJECT_LANGUAGES**
+ to *CXX*.
+- **BINDINGV3**: Shared library that be loaded by the AGL Application Framework
+ This has to be accompagnied with a JSON file named like the
+ *${OUTPUT_NAME}-apidef* of the target that describes the API with OpenAPI
+ syntax (e.g: *mybinding-apidef*).
+ Or Alternatively, you can choose the name, without the extension, using macro
+ **set_openapi_filename**. If you use C++, you have to set **PROJECT_LANGUAGES**
+ to *CXX*.
+- **PLUGIN**: Shared library are meant to be used as a binding plugin. Binding
+ would load it as a plugin to extend its functionalities. It should be named
+ with a special extension that you choose with SUFFIX cmake target property or
+ it'd be **.ctlso** by default.
+- **HTDOCS**: Root directory of a web app. This target has to build its
+ directory and puts its files in the ${CMAKE_CURRENT_BINARY_DIR}/${TARGET_NAME}
+- **DATA**: Resources used by your application. This target has to build its
+ directory and puts its files in the ${CMAKE_CURRENT_BINARY_DIR}/${TARGET_NAME}
- **EXECUTABLE**: Entry point of your application executed by the AGL
Application Framework
+- **LIBRARY**: An external 3rd party library bundled with the binding for its
+ own purpose because platform doesn't provide it.
+- **BINDING-CONFIG**: Any files used as configuration by your binding.
+
+> **TIP** you should use the prefix _afb-_ with your **BINDING* targets which
+> stand for **Application Framework Binding**.
```cmake
SET_TARGET_PROPERTIES(${TARGET_NAME}
PREFIX "afb-"
- LABELS "BINDING"
+ LABELS "BINDINGV3"
OUTPUT_NAME "file_output_name")
```
-> **TIP** you should use the prefix _afb-_ with your **BINDING* targets which
-> stand for **Application Framework Binding**.
+> **NOTE**: You doesn't need to specify an **INSTALL** command for these

+
+## Add external 3rd party library
+
+### Build, link and ship external library with the project
+
+You could need to include an external library that isn't shipped in the
+platform. Then you have to bundle the required library in the `lib` widget
+directory.
+
+Templates includes some facilities to help you to do so. Classic way to do so
+is to declare as many CMake ExternalProject as library you need.
+
+An ExternalProject is a special CMake module that let you define how to:
+download, update, patch, configure, build and install an external project. It
+doesn't have to be a CMake project and custom step could be added for special
+needs using ExternalProject step. More informations on CMake [ExternalProject
+documentation site](https://cmake.org/cmake/help/v3.5/module/ExternalProject.html?highlight=externalproject).
+
+Example to include `mxml` library for [unicens2-binding](https://github.com/iotbzh/unicens2-binding)
+project:
+
+```cmake
+set(MXML external-mxml)
+set(MXML_SOURCE_DIR ${CMAKE_CURRENT_SOURCE_DIR}/mxml)
+ExternalProject_Add(${MXML}
+ GIT_REPOSITORY https://github.com/michaelrsweet/mxml.git
+ GIT_TAG release-2.10
+ SOURCE_DIR ${MXML_SOURCE_DIR}
+ CONFIGURE_COMMAND ./configure --build x86_64 --host aarch64
+ BUILD_COMMAND make libmxml.so.1.5
+ BUILD_IN_SOURCE 1
+ INSTALL_COMMAND ""
+)
+
+PROJECT_TARGET_ADD(mxml)
+
+add_library(${TARGET_NAME} SHARED IMPORTED GLOBAL)
+
+SET_TARGET_PROPERTIES(${TARGET_NAME} PROPERTIES
+ LABELS LIBRARY
+ IMPORTED_LOCATION ${MXML_SOURCE_DIR}/libmxml.so.1
+ INTERFACE_INCLUDE_DIRECTORIES ${MXML_SOURCE_DIR}
+)
+
+add_dependencies(${TARGET_NAME} ${MXML})
+```
+
+Here we define an external project that drive the build of the library then we
+define new CMake target of type **IMPORTED**. Meaning that this target hasn't
+been built using CMake but is available at the location defined in the target
+property *IMPORTED_LOCATION*.
+
+You could want to build the library as *SHARED* or *STATIC* depending on your needs
+and goals. Then you only have to modify the external project configure step and change
+filename used by **IMPORTED** library target defined after external project.
+
+Then target *LABELS* property is set to **LIBRARY** to ship it in the widget.
+
+Unicens project also need some header from this library, so we use the target
+property *INTERFACE_INCLUDE_DIRECTORIES*. Setting that when another target link
+to that imported target, it can access to the include directories.
-Use the ***populate_widget*** macro as latest statement of your target
-definition. Then at the end of your project definition you should use the macro
-***build_widget*** that make an archive from the populated widget tree using the
-`wgtpkg-pack` Application Framework tools.
+We bound the target to the external project using a CMake dependency at last.
+
+Then this target could be use like any other CMake target and be linked etc.
+
+### Only link and ship external library with the project
+
+If you already have a binary version of the library that you want to use and you
+can't or don't want to build the library then you only have to add an **IMPORTED**
+library target.
+
+So, taking the above example, `mxml` library inclusion would be:
+
+```cmake
+PROJECT_TARGET_ADD(mxml)
+
+add_library(${TARGET_NAME} SHARED IMPORTED GLOBAL)
+
+SET_TARGET_PROPERTIES(${TARGET_NAME} PROPERTIES
+ LABELS LIBRARY
+ IMPORTED_LOCATION /path/to/library/libmxml.so.1
+ INTERFACE_INCLUDE_DIRECTORIES /path/to/mxml/include/dir
+)
+```
+
+Finally, you can link any other lib or executable target with this imported
+library like any other target.
## Macro reference
project_subdirs_add("[0-9]-*")
```
-## Advanced customization
+### set_openapi_filename
+
+Used with a target labelized **BINDINGV2** to define the file name, and
+possibly a relative path with the current *CMakeLists.txt*.
+
+If you don't use that macro to specify the name of your definition file
+then the default one will be used, *${OUTPUT_NAME}-apidef* with
+**OUTPUT_NAME** as the [target property].
+
+> **CAUTION** you must only specify the name **WITHOUT** the extension.
+
+```cmake
+set_openapi_filename('binding/mybinding_definition')
+```
-### Including additionnals cmake files
+[target property]: https://cmake.org/cmake/help/v3.6/prop_tgt/OUTPUT_NAME.html "OUTPUT_NAME property documentation"
-Advanced tuning is possible using addionnals cmake files that are included
+### add_input_files
+
+Create custom target dedicated for HTML5 and data resource files. This macro
+provides syntax and schema verification for different languages which are
+about now: LUA, JSON and XML.
+
+You could change the tools used to check files with the following variables:
+
+- XML_CHECKER: set to use **xmllint** provided with major linux distribution.
+- LUA_CHECKER: set to use **luac** provided with major linux distribution.
+- JSON_CHECKER: no tools found at the moment.
+
+```cmake
+add_input_file("${MY_FILES_LIST}")
+```
+
+> **NOTE**: an issue at the check step on a file will stop at the build step.
+
+## Advanced build customization
+
+### Including additional cmake files
+
+#### Machine and system custom cmake files
+
+Advanced tuning is possible using additional cmake files that are included
automatically from some specifics locations. They are included in that order:
-- Project CMake files normaly located in _<project-root-path>/conf.d/app-templates/cmake/cmake.d_
+- Project CMake files normal
ly located in _<project-root-path>/conf.d/app-templates/cmake/cmake.d_
- Home CMake files located in _$HOME/.config/app-templates/cmake.d_
- System CMake files located in _/etc/app-templates/cmake.d_
-CMake files has to be named using the following convention: `XX-***.cmake`,
-where `XX` are numbers, `***` file name (ie. `99-my_customs.cmake`).
+CMake files has to be named using the following convention: `XX-common*.cmake`
+or `XX-${PROJECT_NAME}*.cmake`, where `XX` are numbers, `*` file name
+(ie. `99-common-my_customs.cmake`).
+
+> **NOTE** You need to specify after numbers that indicate include order, to
+which project that file applies, if it applies to all project then use keyword
+`common`.
So, saying that you should be aware that every normal cmake variables used at
-project level could be overwrited by home or system located cmake files if
+project level could be overwritten by home or system located cmake files if
variables got the same name. Exceptions are cached variables set using
**CACHE** keyword:
set(VARIABLE_NAME 'value string random' CACHE STRING 'docstring')
```
+#### OS custom cmake files
+
+This is meant to personalize the project depending on the OS your are using.
+At the end of config.cmake, common.cmake will include lot of cmake file to
+customize project build depending on your platform. It will detect your OS
+deducing it from file _/etc/os-release_ now as default in almost all Linux
+distribution.
+
+So you can use the value of field **ID_LIKE** or **ID** if the
+first one doesn't exists and add a cmake file for that distribution in your
+_conf.d/cmake/_ directory or relatively to your _app-templates_ submodule path
+_app-templates/../cmake/_
+
+Those files has to be named use the following scheme _XX-${OSRELEASE}*.cmake_
+where _XX_ are numbers, ${OSRELEASE} the **ID_LIKE** or **ID** field from
+_/etc/os-release_ file. You can also define default OS configuration file
+to use as fallback is none specific OS configuration is available using the
+scheme _XX-default*.cmake_. Then is you need by example a module that isn't
+named the same in one distro only, you only has to define a specific file to
+handle that case then for all the other case put the configuration in the
+default file.
+
### Include customs templated scripts
