Getting Started with ArkTS in FA Model

NOTE

To use ArkTS, your DevEco Studio must be V3.0.0.601 Beta1 or later.

For best possible results, use DevEco Studio V3.1.0.100 for your development.

Creating an ArkTS Project

If you are opening DevEco Studio for the first time, click Create Project. If a project is already open, choose File > New > Create Project from the menu bar. On the OpenHarmony tab of the Choose Your Ability Template page, select Empty Ability and click Next.

In the project configuration page, set Compile SDK to 8 or 9 (in the latter case, you also need to set Model to FA) and Language to ArkTS and retain the default values for other parameters.

NOTE

If you are using DevEco Studio V3.0 Beta3 or later, you can use the low-code development mode apart from the traditional coding approach.

On the low-code development pages, you can design your application UI in an efficient, intuitive manner, with a wide array of UI editing features.

To use the low-code development mode, turn on Enable Super Visual on the page shown above.

Click Finish. DevEco Studio will automatically generate the sample code and resources that match your project type. Wait until the project is created.

ArkTS Project Directory Structure (FA Model)

- src > main > ets: a collection of eTS source code.
- src > main > ets > MainAbility: entry to your application/service.
- src > main > ets > MainAbility > pages: pages contained in MainAbility.

This file describes the global configuration information of the application/service, the device-specific configuration information, and the configuration information of the HAP file. For details, see Application Configuration File Overview (FA Model).

hvigorfile.ts: application-level build script.

Building the First Page

Use the <Text> component.

After the project synchronization is complete, choose entry > src > main > ets > MainAbility > pages in the Project window and open the index.ets file. You can see that the file contains a <Text> component. The sample code in the index.ets file is shown below:

   // index.ets
   @Entry
   @Component
   struct Index {
     @State message: string = 'Hello World'
   
     build() {
       Row() {
         Column() {
           Text(this.message)
             .fontSize(50)
             .fontWeight(FontWeight.Bold)
         }
         .width('100%')
       }
       .height('100%')
     }
   }

Add a <Button> component.

On the default page, add a <Button> component to respond to user clicks and implement redirection to another page. The sample code in the index.ets file is shown below:

   // index.ets
   @Entry
   @Component
   struct Index {
     @State message: string = 'Hello World'
   
     build() {
       Row() {
         Column() {
           Text(this.message)
             .fontSize(50)
             .fontWeight(FontWeight.Bold)
           // Add a button to respond to user clicks.
           Button() {
             Text('Next')
               .fontSize(30)
               .fontWeight(FontWeight.Bold)
           }
           .type(ButtonType.Capsule)
           .margin({
             top: 20
           })
           .backgroundColor('#0D9FFB')
           .width('40%')
           .height('5%')
         }
         .width('100%')
       }
       .height('100%')
     }
   }

On the toolbar in the upper right corner of the editing window, click Previewer. Below is how the first page looks in the Previewer.

Building the Second Page

Create the second page.
- Create the second page file: In the Project window, choose entry > src > main > ets > MainAbility. Right-click the pages folder, choose New > ArkTS File, name the page second, and click Finish. Below is the structure of the second folder.
NOTE

You can also right-click the pages folder and choose New > Page from the shortcut menu. In this scenario, you do not need to manually configure page routes. - Configure the route for the second page, by setting pages/second under module - js - pages in the config.json file. The sample code is as follows:
```
  {
    "module": {
      "js": [
        {
          "pages": [
            "pages/index",
            "pages/second"
          ]
          }
      ]
    }
  }
```
Add <Text> and <Button> components.

Add <Text> and <Button> components and set their styles, as you do for the first page. The sample code in the second.ets file is shown below:

   // second.ets
   @Entry
   @Component
   struct Second {
     @State message: string = 'Hi there'
   
     build() {
       Row() {
         Column() {
           Text(this.message)
             .fontSize(50)
             .fontWeight(FontWeight.Bold)
           Button() {
             Text('Back')
               .fontSize(25)
               .fontWeight(FontWeight.Bold)
           }
           .type(ButtonType.Capsule)
           .margin({
             top: 20
           })
           .backgroundColor('#0D9FFB')
           .width('40%')
           .height('5%')
         }
         .width('100%')
       }
       .height('100%')
     }
   }

Implementing Page Redirection

You can implement page redirection through the page router, which finds the target page based on the page URL. Import the router module and then perform the steps below:

Implement redirection from the first page to the second page.

In the index.ets file of the first page, bind the onClick event to the Next button so that clicking the button redirects the user to the second page. The sample code in the index.ets file is shown below:

   // index.ets
   // Import the router module.
   import router from '@ohos.router';
   
   @Entry
   @Component
   struct Index {
     @State message: string = 'Hello World'
   
     build() {
       Row() {
         Column() {
           Text(this.message)
             .fontSize(50)
             .fontWeight(FontWeight.Bold)
           // Add a button to respond to user clicks.
           Button() {
             Text('Next')
               .fontSize(30)
               .fontWeight(FontWeight.Bold)
           }
           .type(ButtonType.Capsule)
           .margin({
             top: 20
           })
           .backgroundColor('#0D9FFB')
           .width('40%')
           .height('5%')
           // Bind the onClick event to the Next button so that clicking the button redirects the user to the second page.
           .onClick(() => {
             router.push({ url: 'pages/second' })
             // In a project of API version 9, you can use the API below instead:
             // router.pushUrl({ url: 'pages/second' })

           })
         }
         .width('100%')
       }
       .height('100%')
     }
   }

Implement redirection from the second page to the first page.

In the second.ets file of the second page, bind the onClick event to the Back button so that clicking the button redirects the user back to the first page. The sample code in the second.ets file is shown below:

   // second.ets
   // Import the router module.
   import router from '@ohos.router';
   
   @Entry
   @Component
   struct Second {
     @State message: string = 'Hi there'
   
     build() {
       Row() {
         Column() {
           Text(this.message)
             .fontSize(50)
             .fontWeight(FontWeight.Bold)
           Button() {
             Text('Back')
               .fontSize(25)
               .fontWeight(FontWeight.Bold)
           }
           .type(ButtonType.Capsule)
           .margin({
             top: 20
           })
           .backgroundColor('#0D9FFB')
           .width('40%')
           .height('5%')
           // Bind the onClick event to the Back button so that clicking the button redirects the user back to the first page.
           .onClick(() => {
             router.back()
           })
         }
         .width('100%')
       }
       .height('100%')
     }
   }

Open the index.ets file and click in the Previewer to refresh the file. The display effect is shown in the figure below.
