Axel Nennker commented on CB-4624:
----------------------------------
Michal Mocny suggested on the dev mailing list:
"Maybe we do just go the npm style route.
cordova plugin add (without ID) -> reads deps from config and installs them.
cordova plugin add --save-deps ID -> adds plugin and adds to config
cordova plugin add --save-deps (without ID)-> takes installed plugins and
adds to deps
"
I am not sure whether www/config.xml should ever be touched by cli commands.
Let us start with the first suggestion "cordova plugin add (without ID)".
> Allow apps to specify plugin dependencies within their config.xml

> Key: CB-4624
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CB-4624
> Project: Apache Cordova
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Components: CLI
> Reporter: Andrew Grieve
> Assignee: Mark Koudritsky
>
> Use-case: Be able to have plugins/ and platforms/ in your .gitignore
> Be able to specify what plugins an app depends on within config.xml. The list
> should be updated whenever you perform a "cordova plugin add", just like "npm
> install --save" does for node. If no commit is specified, then the latest is
> downloaded and the hash is extracted & saved into the config.xml.
> The syntax should match that of <dependency> tags within the plugin spec:
> http://cordova.apache.org/docs/en/3.0.0/plugin_ref_spec.md.html#Plugin%20Specification.
> Note that there's an open issue to fold the commit/subdir into the URI
> (CB-4622).
> We'll need a new command for installing dependencies. Maybe:
> "cordova install"?
> "cordova plugin install"?
> "cordova project init"?
