Jonathan Grupp created CB-8539:
----------------------------------
Summary: cordova install command like npm install
Key: CB-8539
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CB-8539
Project: Apache Cordova
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: CLI
Reporter: Jonathan Grupp
Hi, I hope this is the right place to suggest this!
A lot of times when working with cordova I find myself wanting to exclude all
the cordova platforms and plugins from my version control (git in my case). A
lot of the tools that today's hybrid/web/html5-app developers use, like npm and
bower provide install commands so excluded 3rd party code can easily be
installed after the project was cloned. Usually a json file keeps track of the
packages and their exact versions to install when these commands are run. This
allows the developers to keep their repository clean of 3rd party code and
ensure that everybody's working with compatible package versions.
To my knowledge cordova does not provide an easy way to achieve this. That's
why I would like to see some sort of cordova install command and maybe a
cordova.json that keeps track of the installed platforms and plugins and their
respective versions, so developers don't need check in cordova code in their
repositories or manually keep track of the installed platforms and plugins.
What do you think?
I'm happy to contribute if I can. I'm fairly accustomed with node.js
development so I might be able to help. I'm not familiar with the cordova cli
code though.
