gulp-cordova v6.0.1
gulp-cordova
This aims to provide a very basic interface to be used in a gulp build system, bare in mind this doesn't provide much really, it's just to abstract the spawn process and the such.
I have no idea how to test this so that's why it has no tests, I would love it
if anyone out there would help me out figuring out how to test this. I've
written a couple of tests but I am pretty sure they are not enough, and they
might not even be good. Help is still welcome!
As with many node projects, send a PR if it is accepted you're added to the repo with full-access rights. If there are any bugs open an issue and we can figure out a solution! Same thing for feature requests or any other kind of problems you might have.
Why this exists: I'm building a project with cordova and I find it cumbersome
to have to go to the CLI every time and run emulate or build or whatever,
so I figured I'd write a short plugin. It's useful to me, I hope you find it
useful as well :) If you want to write a plugin that you think deserves this
name let me know and I might free it if I agree!
Why this might be useful to you: Initialise a project without a script,
instead use what you already use for the rest of your javascript projects. You
could also use it in watch tasks where you want to re-run the emulate command
when something specifically is updated.
API
There's two ways to use this plugin, via a JSON configuration file or just
passing parameters to the cordova function. Note: If you pass commands as a param
the file contents will be ignored.
cordova()
Usage example:
gulp.task('cordova:init', function() {
gulp.src('./package.json')
.pipe(cordova())
})Notice I'm using package.json for demonstration purposes, but you may use any
JSON file. Just make sure the file has a key cordova and that key contains
an array with the command or an array of arrays for multiple commands.
file: config.json/package.json/xxx.json
{
"cordova": [
[
"platform",
"add",

"android",
"browser"
],
[
"plugin",

"org.apache.cordova.device",
"org.apache.cordova.geolocation",
"org.apache.cordova.console"
]
]
}cordova(command, options)
command (optional)
Type: array
Values: In theory, any cordova cli command. I haven't tested all of them.
Eg:
// ...
.pipe(cordova(['plugins', 'add', 'org.apache.cordova.battery-status', 'org.apache.cordova.device-motion']))
// ...options (optional)
verbose
Type: boolean
Default: false
cwd EXPERIMENTAL

You can use this to run the specified cordova command in a specific directory.
