cordova-plugin-hot-reload
This plugin enables you to develop cordova apps with hot-reloading in your app in your development environment.
It creates two hooks that modify your config.xml and point the content to the local development server when you serve the app and point to the index.html
file when you build your app.
Installation
cordova plugin add @appcominteractive/cordova-plugin-hot-reload
Cordova files
The files are served via symlinks from your public folder and pointing to the correct platform files.
Remember to keep your symlinks out of git and add them to your .gitignore
file.
preparation
npm i concurrently wait-on cross-env
To serve your frontend files you could start your app like so
"serve:android": "cross-env PORT=8080 concurrently \"npm run serve\" \"wait-on http://localhost:8080 && cordova run android\""
you have to set the PORT
environment, so the plugin can point to the correct port.
Variables
You can add variables to the plugin by adding the following to your config.xml
in the widget
tag:
<plugin name="@appcominteractive/cordova-plugin-hot-reload">
<variable name="publicPath" value="www"/>
</plugin>
Now all symlinks get set to your folder named www
. The path must be relative to your config.xml
