# Feature Request Support Optional Android Dependencies For Plugin controlled via command line inputs ## Motivation Behind Feature This will allow us to develop cordova plugins that depend on multiple optional libraries. in android we can develop 2 separate libraries `a` & `b` , where `a` can check whether the user has included `b` library, and if so, can change its working accordingly. ## Feature Description in cordova, if i have defined the following preference in my plugin.xml: ```xml <preference name="FIREBASE_MESSAGING_VERSION" default="21.0.0"/> ``` then the users of my plugin can pass this variable while adding the plugin as : ``` cordova plugin add https://github.com/root-ansh/my-plugin --variable FIREBASE_MESSAGING_VERSION="20.4.0" ``` furthermore, in my plugin.xml , i am able to use this version as : ```xml <framework src="com.google.firebase:firebase-messaging:$FIREBASE_MESSAGING_VERSION" /> ``` what we need is 1. to restrict user to use versions above `21.0.0` (which i think will be covered in next point) 2. to have 'optional' depenedencies . like if i take a boolean variable `ADD_ANALYTICS_SDK` as input during plugin installation, then i should be able to add an additional , optional framework, something like this : ```xml <rule> <if> <conditions> <condition var="ADD_ANALYTICS_SDK" >$ADD_ANALYTICS_SDK</condition> </conditions> <statements> <framework src="com.google.firebase:firebase-analytics:21.0.0" /> </statements> </if> </rule> ``` is something like this possible for `plugin.xml` ? -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
