Webpack is used to convert the JavaScript (which is JSX) into a JavaScript bundle that can be run on the WebView. The local webserver basically serves the JavaScript bundle that can be run on the emulator. This is very similar to how React Native works during development. I think the most important TODO item is to get rid of the local webserver and just run JavaScript from the www assets. > > How does it work?

Webpack is used to convert the JavaScript (which is JSX) into a JavaScript bundle that can be run on the WebView. The local webserver basically serves the JavaScript bundle that can be run on the emulator. This is very similar to how React Native works during development. I think the most important TODO item is to get rid of the local webserver and just run JavaScript from the www assets. Here are some more general notes: This plugin can definitely be considered an experimental proof of concept, very far from pre-alpha quality. Future ideas include splitting the native part into smaller parts and making it work with Capacitor framework as well. Here are the major benefits I think this idea can demonstrate with respect to React Native: * Ability for a team to start with well-known Cordova framework, no need for special talent, and transition to native GUI views in a gradual manner * Smaller size Most of the native part seems to be view management, would be nice to make it more generic somehow. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@cordova.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@cordova.apache.org
