I'm sorry, I don't understand neither see the benefit or value added to this...
What's the objective of this change? Are the node_modules platforms going to be usable by separately outside of Cordova in NodeJS? i.e. Can I use cordova-android to do an android app in NodeJS using the NPM module? What are the benefits of npm approach instead of the current library in $HOME/.cordova approach? Is there gonna be a breakage in the Cordova API? Many developer already complain about the huge changes introduced in service versions. Better to have a talk about this in tomorrow's hangout. 2014-06-03 11:03 GMT-05:00 Brian LeRoux <b...@brian.io>: > package.json does all of this!!!! > > > On Tue, Jun 3, 2014 at 8:55 AM, Andrew Grieve <agri...@chromium.org> > wrote: > > > On Tue, Jun 3, 2014 at 12:53 AM, purplecabbage <purplecabb...@gmail.com> > > wrote: > > > > > >> $ cordova --usenpm platform add > > > >> ios@3.4.1 > > > > > > Why would you do this? > > > > > Because I want to use version 3.4.1 of cordova-ios. > > > > > > > What version of cordova? > > > > > I used cordova-cli @ master > > > > > > > Do you expect to add multiple ios@versions to a single cordova > project? > > > > > No. Just want to be able to tell it what version of cordova-ios to use > when > > adding or updating the platform. > > > > > > > Ios@3.4.1 and android@3.5.2 > > > > > Exactly.
