cordova-plugins -p ios,android -u http://plugreg.com (or plugreg) list

• will list all plugins from http://plugreg.com that are on the ios and/or android platforms

cordova-plugins search camera

• will list all plugins from http://registry.cordova.io that have the term camera in the name or description. The search term matches will be highlighted and CAPITALIZED to notice easier.

###Changed Commandline argument -u has been changed to -r to reflect the naming convention of repo instead of url.

###New Support for default repo url. Valid urls are: http://plugreg.com (shortform plugreg) and http://registry.cordova.io (shortform cordova). Default is http://registry.cordova.io.

Support to customize output foreground colors. Currently you can change the color of the url and description output. This is done by creating a .cordova-plugins valid JSON file in your HOME directory.

Ex:

{
    "repo": "plugreg",
    "urlColor": "blue",
    "descriptionColor": "whiteBright"
}

Supported colors are (taken from https://github.com/medikoo/cli-color):

###Future Considerations

• Hook into cordova-cli add plugin command.
• Optimize and clean up code
