| <h1>Platforms and Plugins Version Management</h1> |
| <p>From version 4.3.0 onwards, Cordova provides the ability to save and restore platforms and plugins.</p> |
| |
| <p>This feature allows developers to save and restore their app to a known state without having to check in all of the platform and plugin source code.</p> |
| |
| <p>The 'save' command stores details about the app's platform and plugin versions in config.xml. |
| The 'restore' step happens automatically when a <strong>'cordova prepare'</strong> is issued, making use of information previously saved in the config.xml file.</p> |
| |
| <p>One scenario where save/restore capabilities come in handy is in large teams that work on an app, with each team member focusing on a platform or plugin. This feature makes it easier to share the project and reduce the amount of redundant code that is checked in the repository.</p> |
| |
| <h2>Platform Versioning</h2> |
| |
| <h3>Saving platforms</h3> |
| <p>To save a platform, you issue the following command :</p> |
| |
| <div class="language-plaintext highlighter-rouge"><div class="highlight"><pre class="highlight"><code>$ cordova platform add <platform[@<version>] | directory | git_url> --save |
| </code></pre></div></div> |
| |
| <p>After running the above command, the resulting config.xml looks like :</p> |
| |
| <div class="language-plaintext highlighter-rouge"><div class="highlight"><pre class="highlight"><code><?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8'?> |
| ... |
| <engine name="android" spec="^4.0.0" /> |
| ... |
| </ xml> |
| </code></pre></div></div> |
| |
| <p>Some examples :</p> |
| <ul> |
| <li><strong>'cordova platform add android --save'</strong> => retrieves the pinned version of the android platform, adds it to the project and then updates config.xml.</li> |
| <li><strong>'cordova platform add android@3.7.0 --save'</strong> => retrieves the android platform, version 3.7.0 from npm, adds it to the project and then updates config.xml.</li> |
| <li><strong>'cordova platform add android@https://github.com/apache/cordova-android.git​ --save'</strong> => clones the specified cordova-android git repository, adds the android platform to the project, then updates config.xml and point its version to the specified git-url.</li> |
| <li><strong>'cordova platform add C:/path/to/android/platform --save'</strong> => retrieves the android platform from the specified directory, adds it to the project, then updates config.xml and point to the directory.</li> |
| </ul> |
| |
| <h3>Mass saving platforms on an existing project</h3> |
| <p>The '--save' flag described above is only useful when you remember to use it during the platform addition. |
| If you have a pre-existing project and you want to save all the currently added platforms in your project, you can use :</p> |
| |
| <div class="language-plaintext highlighter-rouge"><div class="highlight"><pre class="highlight"><code>$ cordova platform save |
| </code></pre></div></div> |
| |
| <h3>Updating / Removing platforms</h3> |
| <p>It is also possible to update/delete from config.xml during the commands 'cordova platform update' and 'cordova platform remove' :</p> |
| |
| <div class="language-plaintext highlighter-rouge"><div class="highlight"><pre class="highlight"><code>$ cordova platform update <platform[@<version>] | directory | git_url> --save |
| $ cordova platform remove <platform> --save Some examples : * **'cordova platform update android --save'** => In addition to updating the android platform to the pinned version, update config.xml entry * **'cordova platform update android@3.8.0 --save'** => In addition to updating the android platform to version 3.8.0, update config.xml entry * **'cordova platform update /path/to/android/platform --save'** => In addition to updating the android platform to version in the folder, update config.xml entry * **'cordova platform remove android --save'** => Removes the android platform from the project and deletes its entry from config.xml. |
| </code></pre></div></div> |
| |
| <h3>Restoring platforms</h3> |
| <ul> |
| <li>Platforms are automatically restored from config.xml when the <strong>'cordova prepare'</strong> command is run.</li> |
| <li>If you add a platform without specifying a version/folder/git_url, the version to install is taken from config.xml, <strong>if found</strong>. |
| <ul> |
| <li>Example: |
| Suppose your config.xml file contains the following entry: |
| <?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8'?> |
| … |
| <engine name="android" spec="3.7.0"></engine> |
| … |
| </ xml> |
| If you run the command <strong>'cordova platform add android'</strong> (no version/folder/git_url specified), the platform 'android@3.7.0' (as retrieved from config.xml) will be installed.</li> |
| </ul> |
| </li> |
| </ul> |
| |

| |
| <h2>Plugin Versioning</h2> |
| <p><em>(The plugin commands are a mirror of the plugin commands)</em></p> |
| |
| <h3>Saving plugins</h3> |
| <p>To save a plugin, you issue the following command :</p> |
| |
| <div class="language-plaintext highlighter-rouge"><div class="highlight"><pre class="highlight"><code>$ cordova plugin add <plugin[@<version>] | directory | git_url> --save |
| </code></pre></div></div> |
| |
| <p>After running the above command, the resulting config.xml looks like :</p> |
| |
| <div class="language-plaintext highlighter-rouge"><div class="highlight"><pre class="highlight"><code><?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8'?> |
| ... |
| <plugin name="cordova-plugin-console" spec="^1.0.0" /> |
| ... |
| </ xml> |
| </code></pre></div></div> |
| |
| <p>Some examples :</p> |
| <ul> |
| <li><strong>'cordova plugin add cordova-plugin-console --save'</strong> => retrieves the pinned version of the console plugin, adds it to the project and then updates config.xml.</li> |
| <li><strong>'cordova plugin add cordova-plugin-console@0.2.13 --save'</strong> => retrieves the android plugin, version 0.2.13 from npm, adds it to the project and then updates config.xml.</li> |
| <li><strong>'cordova plugin add https://github.com/apache/cordova-plugin-console.git --save'</strong> => clones the specified console plugin git repository, adds the console plugin to the project, then updates config.xml and point its version to the specified git-url.</li> |
| <li><strong>'cordova plugin add C:/path/to/console/plugin --save'</strong> => retrieves the console plugin from the specified directory, adds it to the project, then updates config.xml and point to the directory.</li> |
| </ul> |

| |
| <h3>Updating / Removing plugins</h3> |
| <p>It is also possible to update/delete from config.xml during the commands 'cordova plugin update' and 'cordova plugin remove' :</p> |
