gulp-cordova-builder

Gulp wrapper for Apache cordova command line interface

Installation

Install cordova and gulp-cordova-builder with npm:

$ npm install --save cordova
$ npm install --save gulp-cordova-builder

Usage

Usage example:

var gulp = require('gulp');
var cordova = require('gulp-cordova-builder');
 
gulp.task("default", function() {
  return gulp.src("mySrc")
    .pipe(cordova.create({
      dist: 'dist',
      name: "myProject",
      namespace: "fr.test",
      xmlConfig: "myConfig.xml"
    }))
    .pipe(cordova.addPlatform("browser"))
    .pipe(cordova.addPlugin("cordova-plugin-media"))
    .pipe(cordova.build("browser"));
});

The gulp sources must be the directory of your sources. It will be copied into the 'www' folder generated by cordova.

API

Create

Initialize a new cordova folder with the command cordova create and add source files into the generated folder.

cordova.create({
  name: 'projectName',      // Name of your application
  namespace: 'org.test',    // Namespace of your application
  xmlConfig: 'config.xml',  // Optionnal: path of the config.xml file for cordova configuration
  dist: 'dist'              // Optionnal: path where the cordova directory will be generated
})

The cordova command will be executed only if the application folder doesn't exist yet. Sources and xmlConfig file are always copied into the cordova folder.

Add plugin

Add a plugin to your application using the command cordova plugin add.

cordova.addPlugin("pluginName")

If the directory 'plugins/' already exists in the cordova folder, the command won't be run.

Add platform

Add a platform to compile using the command cordova platform add.

cordova.addPlatform('platformName')

If the directory 'platforms/' already exists in the cordova folder, the command won't be run.

Build

Run cordova buildcommand.

cordova.build()           // Build for all registered platform
cordova.build("platform") // Build only for the given platform name
cordova.build({
  platform: "platform",
  buildConfig: "build.json" // Optionnal: a config file for the cordova build
})

For more information about builds, see the Cordova documentation.

Contributing

Feel free to make a pull request. Take care to add unit tests (npm test). Tests need to have cordova installed in node modules.
