-# Plugin Specification
-
-The `plugin.xml` file is an XML document in the `plugins` namespace:
-`http://apache.org/cordova/ns/plugins/1.0`. It contains a top-level
-`plugin` element that defines the plugin, and children that define the
-structure of the plugin.
-
-A sample plugin element:
+# Plugin.xml
- <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
- <plugin xmlns="http://apache.org/cordova/ns/plugins/1.0";
- xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android";
- id="com.alunny.foo"
- version="1.0.2">
+Plugin.xml file defines the structure and settings required for your
plugin. It has several elements to provide details about your plugin.
-## _plugin_ Element
+## plugin
-The `plugin` element is the plugin manifest's top-level element. It
-features the following attributes:
+ The `plugin` element is the plugin manifest's top-level element.
-* `xmlns` (required):
- The plugin namespace, `http://apache.org/cordova/ns/plugins/1.0`. If
- the document contains XML from other namespaces, such as tags to be
- added to the `AndroidManifest.xml` file, those namespaces should
- also be included in the top-level element.
+ Attributes(type) | Description
+ ---------------- | ------------
+ xmlns(string) | *Required* <br/> The plugin namespace,
`http://apache.org/cordova/ns/plugins/1.0`. If the document contains XML from
other namespaces, such as tags to be added to the `AndroidManifest.xml` file,
those namespaces should also be included in the <plugin> element.
+ id(string) | *Required* <br/> A reverse-domain style identifier for the
plugin.
+ version(string) | *Required* <br/> A version number for the plugin, that
matches the following major-minor-patch style regular expression:
`^\d+[.]\d+[.]\d+$`
-* `id` (required):
- A reverse-domain style identifier for the plugin, such as
- `com.alunny.foo`
+ Example:
+ ```
+ <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
+ <plugin xmlns="http://apache.org/cordova/ns/plugins/1.0";
+ xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android";
+ id="com.alunny.foo"
+ version="1.0.2">
+ ```
-* `version` (required):
- A version number for the plugin, that matches the following
- major-minor-patch style regular expression:
+### engines and engine
- ^\d+[.]\d+[.]\d+$
+ The child elements of the `<engines>` element specify versions of Apache
Cordova-based frameworks that this plugin supports. Plugman aborts with a
non-zero code for any plugin whose target project does not meet the engine's
constraints. If no <engine> tags are specified, plugman attempts to install
into the specified cordova project directory blindly.
-## _engines_ and _engine_ Elements
+ Attributes(type) | Description
+ ---------------- | ------------
+ name(string) | *Required* <br/> Name of the engine. Here are the default
engines that are supported : <ul><li> `cordova` </li> <li> `cordova-plugman`
</li> <li> `cordova-android` </li> <li> `cordova-ios` </li> <li>
`cordova-blackberry10` </li> <li> `cordova-wp8` </li> <li> `cordova-windows`
</li> <li> `android-sdk` // returns the highest Android api level installed
</li> <li> `apple-xcode` // returns the xcode version </li> <li> `apple-ios` //
returns the highest iOS version installed </li> <li> `apple-osx` // returns the
OSX version </li> <li> `blackberry-ndk` // returns the native blackberry SDK
version </li> You can also specify a custom framework apart from the default
ones.
+ version(string) | *Required* <br/> The version that your framework must
have in order to install. It should match a major-minor-patch string conforming
to the regular expression: `^\d+[.]\d+[.]\d+$`
