This is a reference for building and publishing Cordova Templates.

template_src
All files outside of template_src
are used to define parameters about the template. These files are not copied over at creation, so feel free to add a README or any other files outside of template_src.
index.js
points to where the template exists. You'll see that index.js usually looks like:
var path = require('path'); module.export = { dirname = path.join(__dirname, 'template_src') };
package.json
tells you about the template. It is necessary state that "main": "index.js"
so that the reference to the template source in index.js
is propagated. All templates should contain the keyword "cordova:template"
so that the template is searchable on npm.
... "main": "index.js", ... "keywords": [ "cordova:template" ...
template_src
All files inside of template_src
compose the template from which a user would desire in order to create their project. Everything in this folder is copied over to the created project.
(The package.json in template_src
should be filled with information that describes the project that would be created from the template.)
