ionic-native-dev-util

To assist in development with ionic-native plugins. When being developed concurrently with an app that consumes an ionic-native plugin, ionic-native-dev-util creates a symbolic directory in the node_modules/@ionic-native folder. And to fully complete this automation, it will modify the app's tsconfig.json and angular.json files so that preserveSymlinks are set to true.

Install

npm

npm install ionic-native-dev-util --save-dev

yarn

yarn add ionic-native-dev-util --dev

link: yarnpkg.com/en/package/ionic-native-dev-util

Usage

The command below should of been added to host's package.json on 'postinstall' event. If not, add it.

{
  "scripts": {
    "linkplugin": "node ./node_modules/ionic-native-dev-util"
  }
}

You need to have access to the ionic-native 'dist' folder. This is the build folder that contains all of its plugins which needs to be built post git clone. And then, for an example, execute the following:

yarn run linkplugin /home/marc/repos/ionic-native/dist/@ionic-native/plugins/audio-management/

Where 'audio-management' is the name of the plugin folder. The 'linkplugin' command should of created a symbolic directory in the node_modules/@ionic-native folder of the app, if there isn't a folder created already with that name. Also if tsconfig.json and/or angular.json are at the root of the app, 'linkplugin' command should of enabled the preserveSymlinks property.
