Questions about FileSystem documentation and paths
Hey folks - I originally raised this on the Google Group as I assumed it was just an issue w/ my code, but I believe this is a documentation issue so I'm raising it here. If wrong, let me know. :) I'm working on a set of of demos related to the FileSystem feature to answer a series of FAQs risen on my blog. For my first sample app, I wanted to build something simple: Check for a file on the device. If not there, fetch it. Looking at the docs for the FileSystem important dirs, I assumed that cordova.file.applicationStorageDirectory made the most sense. The docs say it is: Root of app's private writable storage. Note the words private and writable. In my mind that was: I can write to it and it is private, no other app can use it. But in my testing when I tried to FileTransfer crap down to it, I always got this error: Could not create target file Not really sure what to do, I eventually tried cordova.file.dataDirectory. According to the docs for it, it is: Where to put app-specific data files. Since it didn't say Private, my understanding was: Ok, I can put crap here too, but it is public, so other apps can see it. Switching to this made my app work immediately. (Haven't tested Android yet.) So my question is - did I simply misunderstand the documentation for applicationStorageDirectory? If so, if someone can help explain what I did wrong, I'll happily write it up in a PR to improve the doc. If I didn't misunderstand it and there is a bug, I'll file a report. If you want to see the entire app (again, it is incredibly simple), you can see it here: https://github.com/cfjedimaster/Cordova-Examples/tree/master/checkanddownload/www
Re: Browserify JS is in
Anis that is really sweet. If this hits CLI, plugin.xml will have sections for plugins to do web actions? TBH.. i've always wanted a cordova platform add web... but i'd be happy enough with a prepare for browser only mode. Seeing a lot of use cases (e.g. Facebook plugin etc.) where there are JS, iOS Android SDKs and a Cordova Plugin wants to support the same API on all platforms.

Tougher for CLI since it's actually the prepare step that creates cordova_plugins.js, but longer term (medium term?) I don't see why we shouldn't just turn it on always anyways. So... Maybe cordova prepare --browserify? Build prepares first, so will also need: cordova run android --browserify I haven't looked at it yet. Google IO is next week and it's been consuming most of our time the last few weeks. Will definitely play with it next next week though!

There was no issue but there is one now. https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CB-6990 This feature is plugman only for now. How important is it to wire it to CLI ? Have you guys had time to test it out yet ? How would it work with CLI ? Add another flag such as cordova plugin add --browserify ?

CLI is not hooked to this yet. Here is how it works: plugman install --browserify --plugin [PLUGIN] --platform [PLATFORM] --project [PROJECT_PATH] will generate a browserify version of cordova.js. Plugins and everything is bundled in. This version passes mobile-spec on iOS and Android. I am not yet setup to test other platforms. plugman install --plugin [PLUGIN] --platform [PLATFORM] --project [PROJECT_PATH] Will continue to generate cordova.js the way it used to. Because some of you really care about benchmarks here is some comparison for dependencies-plugin install: No browserify: real 0m9.546s user 0m4.673s sys 0m0.692s Browserify: real 0m9.861s user 0m4.759s sys 0m0.648s All cordova-lib tests are passing so I am assuming this has minimal impact but LET ME KNOW otherwise.
