[ALOY-158] Templates for "alloy new"

Description

Comments

1. Russell McMahon 2012-08-28 We will do this for samples and sample will have a manifest like widgets.
2. Tony Lukasavage 2012-08-29 That's seems like an entirely separate issue, but maybe i am misunderstanding. Are samples meant to be template? This ticket refers to the creation of usable controller templates.
3. Russell McMahon 2012-08-29 Yup your right the controller template is a separate issue. Could you give a quick example of a controller template, and use case?
4. Tony Lukasavage 2012-08-29 Let's say you wanted a "tabgroup" template that mimicked Titanium's default 2 tabbed app. Your controller could be generated something like this:

   index.xml

      <Alloy>
          <TabGroup>
              <Tab title="Tab 1">
                  <Window title="Tab 1">
                      <Label>Tab 1</Label>
                  <Window>
              </Tab>
              <Tab title="Tab 2">
                  <Window title="Tab 2">
                      <Label>Tab 2</Label>
                  <Window>
              </Tab>
          </TabGroup>
      </Alloy>
      

   index.js

      $.index.open();
      

5. Tony Lukasavage 2012-09-17 The alloy new command can now generate new projects based on a template name. The current list of template names can be found here: https://github.com/appcelerator/alloy/tree/master/templates Right now they are "default" and "two_tabbed". An alloy project utilizing the "two_tabbed" template would be created like this:

      alloy new . two_tabbed
      

6. Tony Lukasavage 2012-10-01 Michael Xia has requested that we add images and descriptions to each template that can be read by tistudio. I am awaiting details on those.
7. Tony Lukasavage 2012-10-01 Added new images and description README files to the 2 alloy templates
