AGL CMake template
-================
+==================
Files used to build an application, or binding, project with the
AGL Application Framework.
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 globbing search to find source files
-isn't recommended now to handle project build especially in a multiuser
+isn't recommended now to handle project build especially in a multiuser
project because CMake will not be aware of new or removed source files.
You'll find simple usage example for different kind of target under the `examples` folder.
-More advanced usage can be saw with the [CAN_signaling binding](https://github.com/iotbzh/CAN_signaling) which mix external libraries,
-binding, and html5 hybrid demo application.

Typical project architecture

A typical project architecture would be :

-* \<root-path\>/packaging
-* \<root-path\>/packaging/wgt
-* \<root-path\>/packaging/wgt/etc

-Installation
---------------
+Usage
+------
-Use the `install.sh` script to help you install templates to your project. Here is the help for it :
+To use these templates files on your project just install the reference files using **git submodule** then use `config.cmake` file to configure your project specificities :
```bash
-$ ./install.sh -h
-The general script's help msg
-Usage: ./install.sh [-b|--binding-path <arg>] [-ha|--html5-app-path <arg>] [-d|--(no-)debug] [-h|--help] <root-path>
- <root-path>: Project root path
- -d,--debug,--no-debug: Optional debug flag. (off by default)
- -h,--help: Prints help
+git submodule add https://gerrit.automotivelinux.org/gerrit/apps/app-templates conf.d/default
```
-Usage
---------
+Specify manually your targets, you should look at samples provided in this
+repository to make yours. Then when you are ready to build, using `autobuild`
+that will wrap CMake build command:
-Once installed, use them by customize depending on your project with file
-`\<root-path\>/etc/config.cmake`.
+```bash
+./conf.d/default/autobuild/agl/autobuild.mk package
+```
-Specify manually your targets, you should look at samples provided in this repository to make yours.
-Then when you are ready to build, using 'AGLBuild' that will wrap CMake build command:
-./AGLBuild package
+Or with the classic way :
-Or with the classic way :
-mkdir -p build && cd build
+```bash
+mkdir -p build
+cd build
cmake .. && make
+```
+
+### Create a CMake target
+
+For each target part of your project, you need to use ***PROJECT_TARGET_ADD***
+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. Be aware that ***populate_widget*** macro will also use
+***PROJECT_TARGET_ADD*** so ***TARGET_NAME*** will change after using
+***populate_widget*** macro.
+
+So, typical usage defining a target is:
+
+```cmake
+PROJECT_TARGET_ADD(SuperExampleName) --> Adding target to your project
+
+add_executable/add_library(${TARGET_NAME}.... --> defining your target sources
+
+SET_TARGET_PROPERTIES(${TARGET_NAME} PROPERTIES.... --> fit target properties for macros usage
+
+INSTALL(TARGETS ${TARGET_NAME}....
+
+populate_widget() --> add target to widget tree depending upon target properties
+```
+
+### Build a widget
+
+#### config.xml.in file
+
+To build a widget you need to configure file _config.xml_. This repo
+provide a simple default file _config.xml.in_ that will be configured using the
+variable set in _config.cmake_ file.
+
+> ***CAUTION*** : The default file is only meant to be use for a
+> simple widget app, more complicated ones which needed to export
+> their api, or ship several app in one widget need to use the provided
+> _config.xml.in.sample_ which had all new Application Framework
+> features explained and examples.
+
+#### Using cmake template macros
+
+To leverage all macros features, you have to specify ***properties*** on your
+targets. Some macros will not works without specifying which is the target type.
+
+As the type is not always specified for some custom targets, like an ***HTML5***
+application, macros make the difference using ***LABELS*** property.
+
+Example:
+
+```cmake
+SET_TARGET_PROPERTIES(${TARGET_NAME} PROPERTIES
+ LABELS "HTDOCS"
+ OUTPUT_NAME dist.prod
+ )
+```
+
+If your target output is not named as the ***TARGET_NAME***, you need to specify
+***OUTPUT_NAME*** property that will be used by the ***populate_widget*** macro.
+
+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.
Macro reference
--------------------
### PROJECT_TARGET_ADD
-Typical usage would be to add the target to your project using macro `PROJECT_TARGET_ADD` with the name of your target as parameter. Example:
+Typical usage would be to add the target to your project using macro
+`PROJECT_TARGET_ADD` with the name of your target as parameter.
+
+Example:
```cmake
PROJECT_TARGET_ADD(low-can-demo)
```
-This will make available the variable `${TARGET_NAME}` set with the specificied name.
+> ***NOTE***: This will make available the variable `${TARGET_NAME}`
+> set with the specificied name. This variable will change at the next call
+> to this macros.
+
+### project_subdirs_add
+
+This macro will search in all subfolder any `CMakeLists.txt` file. If found then
+it will be added to your project. This could be use in an hybrid application by
+example where the binding lay in a sub directory.
+
+Usage :
-### search_targets
+```cmake
+project_subdirs_add()
+```
-This macro will search in all subfolder any `CMakeLists.txt` file. If found then it will be added to your project. This could be use in an hybrid application by example where the binding lay in a sub directory.
+You also can specify a globbing pattern as argument to filter which folders will be looked for.
-Usage :
+To filter all directories that begin with a number followed by a dash the anything:
```cmake
-search_targets()
+project_subdirs_add("[0-9]-*")
```
-### populate_widget
+### project_targets_populate
-Macro use to populate widget tree. To make this works you have to specify some propertiers to your target :
+Macro use to populate widget tree. To make this works you have to specify some properties to your target :
-- LABELS : specify *BINDING*, *HTDOCS*, *EXECUTABLE*, *DATA*
-- PREFIX : must be empty **""** when target is a *BINDING* else default prefix *lib* will be applied
-- OUTPUT_NAME : Name of the output file generated, useful when generated file name is different from `${TARGET_NAME}`

-Always specify `populate_widget()` macro as the last statement, especially if you use ${TARGET_NAME} variable. Else variable will be set at wrong value with the **populate_** target name.
