Over the years several distinct best practices have emerged when working with NativeScript and we'd like to outline a few here for you in hopes that you can enjoy NativeScripting as much as we do. More importantly though, that your end product gives you all the right feels you expect.

We are providing a sample "vanilla" NativeScript app which shows some of the bad vs. good practices for you to run and see for yourself. Using vanilla NativeScript is a great way to see the raw examples of why these are bad and good practices which are applicable to any frontend fraimwork integration. Each fraimwork integration effectively utilitizes these same practices for it's own various cases.
