cordova-emulator v1.0.2

cordova-emulator

Emulator menu for cordova and ionic projects.

It's a menu selection for cordova emulate or ionic cordova emulate (it auto-detects ionic projects). Allow selecting the target using a user-friendly menu, very useful for testing on multiple os/devices.

Installation

Install by running: npm install cordova-emulator -g

If you are using nvm and old node versions, you might get an error similar to the following when trying to run the first time: /usr/local/bin/cordova-emulator: No such file or directory

If that happens you need to re-select your node version to update path. It happened when used it with a node 6.12.1 / ionic1 project. I needed to reload, not needed with node 10/12.

Usage

Run the command cordova-emulator in a cordova/ionic project root folder (same place as you would run cordova emulate).

$ cordova-emulator 
(x) ios
( ) android

If you select ios you will see something similar to the following menu:

(x) Select a iOS version:
( ) iOS 8.4
( ) iOS 9.3
( ) iOS 10.3
( ) iOS 11.1
( ) iOS 11.3
( ) iOS 11.4
( ) iOS 12.1
( ) iOS 13.2

and then something like:

(x) iPhone 5
( ) iPhone 5s
( ) iPhone 6 Plus
( ) iPhone 6
( ) iPhone 6s
( ) iPhone 6s Plus
( ) iPhone SE
( ) iPhone 7
( ) iPhone 7 Plus
( ) iPad Air
( ) iPad Air 2
( ) iPad Pro (9.7 inch)
( ) iPad Pro (12.9 inch)
( ) iPad (5th generation)
( ) iPad Pro (12.9-inch) (2nd generation)
( ) iPad Pro (10.5-inch)

For android you see a list of android virtual device images like:

(x) android7
( ) Android8
( ) Pixel_2_API_26
( ) Pixel_3_API_29
( ) androidx2
( ) Pixel3

If you select a device on ios or an android virtual device image, cordova emulate or ionic cordova emulate will run with the selected target.

Any arguments passed to the script will be passed to cordova emulate or ionic cordova emulate, so you can do this:

$ cordova-emulator --livereload
