CordovaConfigWebpackPlugin
A plugin to modify config.xml from Webpack
Getting Started
Install the plugin:
npm install --save-dev cordova-webpack-config-plugin
CordovaConfigWebpackPlugin will look for config.xml or the file specified relative to the context path from your webpack configuration.
Replace values passed as an object in config.xml values. Throws exception if tag passed isn't present in the config.xml file.
Usage
new CordovaConfigWebpackPlugin({
_: {
inputPath: "path/to/template-config.xml",
outputPath: "path/to/cordova-config.xml",
},
content: {
src: "index.html"
},
widget: {
version: "2.0.0"
}
...
})
The _ object allows configuration of the plugin itself. All other options affect elements and attributes of the corresponding names in the Cordova configuration file.
inputPath can be used to indicate a file to be used as input. If omitted, config.xml in your webpack context path is assumed.
outputPath can be used to indicate a file to be used (created or modified) as output in case you don't want to modify your source Cordova configuration file or do want to output to a path other than your webpack context path (useful for source control where you don't want to trigger a commit for dynamic configuration values or to have more control over the location of your Cordova project). If omitted, inputPath is assumed.
Simply omit the _ options to modify the config.xml file in place.
Examples
Given the config.xml sample file:
<?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8'?>
<widget id="com.example.hello" version="1.0.0">
<name>HelloWorld</name>
<description>
A sample Apache Cordova application that responds to the deviceready event.
</description>
<author email="developer@apache.cordova.com" href="http://cordova.io">
Apache Cordova Team
</author>
<content src="index.html" />
<access origin="*" />
<a_number>666</a_number>
</widget>
Replace the src attribute of the content element.
var CordovaConfigWebpackPlugin = require('cordova-webpack-config-plugin');
var path = require('path');
module.exports = {
context: path.join(__dirname, 'app'),
plugins: [
new CordovaConfigWebpackPlugin({
content: {
src: "http://localhost:8080"
}
})
]
}
Replace the email and href attributes of the author element, and replace the author element's inner text using "_".
module.exports = {
context: path.join(__dirname, 'app'),
plugins: [
new CordovaConfigWebpackPlugin({
author: {
_: "Fake Team",
email: "fake@fake.invalid",
href: "http://fake.invalid"
}
})
]
}
Replace the inner text of the name element which has no attributes.
module.exports = {
context: path.join(__dirname, 'app'),
plugins: [
new CordovaConfigWebpackPlugin({
name: "fake name"
})
]
}
