Hvigor, sometimes named 'Vigor build system' as a base, builds on the concepts of an improved Gradle replacement on older versions of DevEco Studio IDE, built on TypeScript. Its role as a build system that combines the cli tools of npm package management mechanism, that primarily provides core capabilities of task management mechanisms, task registrations and scheduling, project model managements, configuration managements, new command line entries, and compilation in Ark Compiler which is more in line with OpenHarmony, HarmonyOS and Oniro OS Development of primary ArkTS/JS programming languages with TS backend for building workflow of native HarmonyOS App Pack files that shows up within the DevEco Studio Engineering-grade package.json configurations.[3][4]
Hvigor is lightweight designed build tool for OpenHarmony, Oniro OS and HarmonyOS development, addresses the redundant, bloated and slower Gradle build tool that was first used in earlier versions of DevEco Studio 1.0 and 2.0 Integrated development environment for basic incomplete HarmonyOS SDK in Java development.[5][6]
Hvigor is a Freeware build tool bundled in DevEco Studio IDE that is used to build HarmonyOS, Oniro OS and OpenHarmony app development with both HarmonyOS and OpenHarmony SDK.[7][8]
