webpack-cordova-plugin

Output webpack to a Cordova app.

Usage

var CordovaPlugin = require('webpack-cordova-plugin');

new CordovaPlugin({
  config: 'config.xml',  // Location of Cordova' config.xml (will be created if not found)
  src: 'index.html',     // Set entry-point of cordova in config.xml
  platform: 'ios', (or 'android') // Set `webpack-dev-server` to correct `contentBase` to use Cordova plugins.
  version: true,         // Set config.xml' version. (true = use version from package.json)
});

Getting started

1. Install cordova and the webpack-cordova-plugin

npm install -g cordova 
npm install --save-dev webpack-cordova-plugin

2. Add the plugin to your webpack.config.js

3. Run webpack. It wil automatically create the Cordova config.xml.

4. Modify the app bundle ID in config.xml

5. Launch cordova!

   cordova platforms add ios # or android
   cordova run ios

Load Cordova

In order for Cordova to load correctly, your index.html must explictly refer to the cordova.js script.

1. Create an index.html and make sure this is copied to your output:

   require('file?name=index.html!./index.html');

2. Include the cordova.js script in your index.html:

   <script type="text/javascript" src="cordova.js"></script>

Under the hood

• --output-path is set to the correct www directory.
• cordova.js is declared as external.
• cordova.js is loaded as script.
• config.xml is updated (version and entry-point)
• --content-base is updated to the correct platform (e.g. /platforms/android/assets/www)
