So i've started some work on adding a "create" command to plugman w.r.t this JIRA https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CB-4886
what i was thinking for workflow would be : $ plugman create --name "PluginName" --plugin_id "The PluginID" --plugin_version "the plugin version" --variable description="Some Cool Description" You could add multiple variables such as author and license The result would be a basic file structure set up, with a base JS file, and a very basic plugin.xml setup. Then to add a platform, there could be another command, which i'm having a hard time naming, like this $ plugman platform --platform_name=ios Then this would scaffold out some basic .h and .m files and add the "platform" tag to the plugin.xml Android would do android specific stuff, etc… This should also probably be $ plugman platform --add …. or $ plugman platform --remove … but i haven't gotten that far yet. I've updated my yeoman generator to use plugman behind the scenes and also to use my fork with these new changes here is my current fork for yeoman https://github.com/lholmquist/cordova-plugman/tree/for_yeoman i still need to add tests, just wanted to see the thoughts first Here is a shameless plug for my blog where i go into a bit more detail: http://blog.lholmquist.org/cordova/phonegap/yeoman/plugman/2013/10/03/plugin-generator/ On Sep 20, 2013, at 11:24 AM, Brian LeRoux <[email protected]> wrote: > +1 > > totally awesome > > > On Fri, Sep 20, 2013 at 3:14 PM, Michal Mocny <[email protected]> wrote: > >> Filed CB-4886 for plugin create. >> >> There were a few previous threads about it, and it seemed to be a >> positively received proposal.
