plugin with swift
Hi all,
I’ve been experimenting with swift and ported the HelloWorld plugin [1] to
Swift. There was one trick to make it work together with cordova, that was to
specify the name of the class to export it under so it could be referenced:
@objc(HWPHello) class Hello : CDVPlugin {
Then it’s ‘exported’ under “HWPHello” that is what we put into the plugin.xml
that can then be found at runtime by cordova
There remains one problem in order to use CDVPlugin in Swift one needs to add a
bridging header file and add that to the swift compiler options. The file can
be part of the plugin but can cordova on plugin install add the needed compiler
settings?

Re: plugin with swift
Right now - no. Although you could write a post-install hook that will
directly update the project file using node-xcode I suppose.
In the future, we can just add this to the template (please file a
feature request so we don't forget). But I think the approach in this
issue is better, and will be simpler for the CLI to add items:

Re: plugin with swift
I guess I need to pay more attention to JIRA issues :-)
I think using xcconfig files is huge step forward in managing xcode
projects.
xcconfig is the same pattern use by cocoapods, it allows more flexibility
and and at the same time not messing up user's pbxproj
One thing to also look is to flow information from plugin.xml into xcconfig
and not use node-xcode.

Re: plugin with swift
I agree, the time for messing with pbxproj files is over. In hindsight
we should have moved to workspaces and xcconfig files, but what can
you do. We should get rid of this technical debt asap by 4.0
