ArkTS Development

Build HarmonyOS applications using ArkTS and the ArkUI declarative UI framework.

Quick Start

Create a basic component:

@Entry
@Component
struct HelloWorld {
  @State message: string = 'Hello, ArkTS!';

  build() {
    Column() {
      Text(this.message)
        .fontSize(30)
        .fontWeight(FontWeight.Bold)
      Button('Click Me')
        .onClick(() => { this.message = 'Button Clicked!'; })
    }
    .width('100%')
    .height('100%')
    .justifyContent(FlexAlign.Center)
  }
}

State Management Decorators

V1 (Traditional)

V2 (Recommended - API 12+)

Seereferences/state-management-v2.md for complete V2 guide.

Common Layouts

// Vertical
Column({ space: 10 }) { Text('A'); Text('B'); }
  .alignItems(HorizontalAlign.Center)

// Horizontal
Row({ space: 10 }) { Text('A'); Text('B'); }
  .justifyContent(FlexAlign.SpaceBetween)

// Stack (overlay)
Stack({ alignContent: Alignment.Center }) {
  Image($r('app.media.bg'))
  Text('Overlay')
}

// List with ForEach
List({ space: 10 }) {
  ForEach(this.items, (item: string) => {
    ListItem() { Text(item) }
  }, (item: string) => item)
}

Component Lifecycle

@Entry
@Component
struct Page {
  aboutToAppear() { /* Init data */ }
  onPageShow() { /* Page visible */ }
  onPageHide() { /* Page hidden */ }
  aboutToDisappear() { /* Cleanup */ }
  build() { Column() { Text('Page') } }
}

Navigation

import { router } from '@kit.ArkUI';

// Push
router.pushUrl({ url: 'pages/Detail', params: { id: 123 } });

// Replace
router.replaceUrl({ url: 'pages/New' });

// Back
router.back();

// Get params
interface RouteParams {
  id: number;
  title?: string;
}
const params = router.getParams() as RouteParams;

Network Request

import { http } from '@kit.NetworkKit';

const req = http.createHttp();
const res = await req.request('https://api.example.com/data', {
  method: http.RequestMethod.GET,
  header: { 'Content-Type': 'application/json' }
});
if (res.responseCode === 200) {
  const data = JSON.parse(res.result as string);
}
req.destroy();

Local Storage

import { preferences } from '@kit.ArkData';

const prefs = await preferences.getPreferences(this.context, 'store');
await prefs.put('key', 'value');
await prefs.flush();
const val = await prefs.get('key', 'default');

ArkTS Language Constraints

ArkTS enforces stricter rules than TypeScript for performance and safety:

See references/migration-guide.md for complete TypeScript → ArkTS migration details.

Command Line Build (hvigorw)

hvigorw is the Hvigor wrapper tool for command-line builds.

# Common build tasks
hvigorw clean                              # Clean build directory
hvigorw assembleHap -p buildMode=debug     # Build Hap (debug)
hvigorw assembleApp -p buildMode=release   # Build App (release)
hvigorw assembleHar                        # Build Har library
hvigorw assembleHsp                        # Build Hsp

# Build specific module
hvigorw assembleHap -p module=entry@default --mode module

# Run tests
hvigorw onDeviceTest -p module=entry -p coverage=true
hvigorw test -p module=entry              # Local test

# CI/CD recommended
hvigorw assembleApp -p buildMode=release --no-daemon

Common parameters:

See references/hvigor-commandline.md for complete command reference.

Code Linter (codelinter)

codelinter is the code checking and fixing tool for ArkTS/TS files.

# Basic usage
codelinter                           # Check current project
codelinter /path/to/project          # Check specified project
codelinter -c ./code-linter.json5    # Use custom rules

# Check and auto-fix
codelinter --fix
codelinter -c ./code-linter.json5 --fix

# Output formats
codelinter -f json -o ./report.json  # JSON report
codelinter -f html -o ./report.html  # HTML report

# Incremental check (Git changes only)
codelinter -i

# CI/CD with exit codes
codelinter --exit-on error,warn      # Non-zero exit on error/warn

See references/codelinter.md for complete reference.

Stack Trace Parser (hstack)

hstack parses obfuscated crash stacks from Release builds back to source code locations.

# Parse crash files directory
hstack -i crashDir -o outputDir -s sourcemapDir -n nameCacheDir

# Parse with C++ symbols
hstack -i crashDir -o outputDir -s sourcemapDir --so soDir -n nameCacheDir

# Parse single crash stack
hstack -c "at func (entry|entry|1.0.0|src/main/ets/pages/Index.ts:58:58)" -s sourcemapDir

Requirements:

• Must provide either -i or -c (not both)
• Must provide at least -s or --so
• For method name restoration, provide both -s and -n

See references/hstack.md for complete reference.

Code Obfuscation (ArkGuard)

Enable in build-profile.json5:

"arkOptions": {
  "obfuscation": {
    "ruleOptions": {
      "enable": true,
      "files": ["./obfuscation-rules.txt"]
    }
  }
}

Common rules in obfuscation-rules.txt:

-enable-property-obfuscation      # Property name obfuscation
-enable-toplevel-obfuscation      # Top-level scope obfuscation
-enable-filename-obfuscation      # Filename obfuscation
-keep-property-name apiKey        # Whitelist specific names

See references/arkguard-obfuscation.md for complete guide.
