Improved template support

supports package.json!

Creating a template

index.js should export a reference to template_src and package.json should reference index.js.

Template discoverability

use the template reference repo as starting point

Using Templates

• find a template on npm using cordova:template keyword
• cordova create MyApp --template TemplateName || gitURL

template docs

http://cordova.apache.org/docs/en/latest/guide/cli/template.html

cordova fetch split out of cordova-lib

npmjs.com/package/cordova-fetch

• replaces npm cache add with npm install
• Uses your system npm
• cordova platform add android --save --fetch

Cordova nightlies

http://cordova.apache.org/contribute/nightly_builds.html

npm install cordova@nightly

CocoaPod Support

<framework src="GoogleCloudMessaging" type="podspec" spec="~> 1.2.0"/>

How it works

• checks if cocoapods is installed
• runs pod install to download dependencies
• Manges dupes

Available since
cordova-ios@4.3.0

New cordovaDependencies object in package.json for plugins

Dependency may be cordova-cli, cordova-platform, or a cordova plugin

cordova plugin add PluginName --save will auto fetch the best version from npm based on your apps dependencies

• fetch by default
• browserify by default
• save/restore moving over to package.json
