Dear wiki user, You have subscribed to a wiki page "Cordova Wiki" for change notification.
The page "PluginDiscovery" has been deleted by purplecabbage: https://wiki.apache.org/cordova/PluginDiscovery?action=diff&rev1=7&rev2=8 - = Plugin Registry = - We use [[https://github.com/isaacs/npmjs.org|npmjs.org]]. Make sure to set '''''secure_rewrites''''' to false in your CouchDB config (You can use ''futon'' for that). - - == Install Locally == - - 1. Install couchdb: - * http://wiki.apache.org/couchdb/Installation - * Follow instructions in the link above for your platform. - - 2. Start up couchdb: - * '''''sudo couchdb''''' - * Should launch on http://127.0.0.1:5984/ by default - - 3. Set up admin on couchdb: http://guide.couchdb.org/draft/security.html - - 4. Check out Futon panel for couchdb: http://127.0.0.1:5984/_utils/ - - 5. Sign in as admin: - * Click on the 'Login' link in the bottom right (kinda hard to find) and use credentials set in step 3 - - 6. Turn secure_rewrites to false: - * Go to Tools/Configuration - * Search for secure_rewrites under the section httpd - * Make sure secure_rewrites is set to false - - 7. install couchapp - * sudo npm install couchapp -g - - 8. Clone npmjs.org: https://github.com/imhotep/npmjs.org - * Follow the "Installing" part of the readme, but don't synch from the npm registry. - - 9. Replicate from cordova registry - * Haven't actually gotten this step to work atm - getting weird error: - * ''''' curl -X POST -H "Content-Type:application/json" http://127.0.0.1:5984/_replicate -d '{"source":"http://registry.cordova.io/";, "target":"registry"}' ''''' - * Or use Futon panel: Click on Tools/Replicator and use UI - - 10. Launch the registry locally: - * ''''' cd npmjs.org ''''' - * ''''' couchapp serve registry/app.js http://127.0.0.1:5984/registry -d www/attachments/ ''''' - - 11. Use plugin-registry to interact with registry locally: https://github.com/imhotep/plugman-registry - * See https://github.com/imhotep/plugman-registry/blob/master/index.js variable local_registry to make sure it's pointing in the right place - - = plugin.xml tags = - - To publish a Cordova plugin. One has to specify a couple of things. As per npm, '''''id''''' and '''''version''''' ''<plugin>'' attributes are required. Everything else is optional. <name> is a human readable name and does not have to follow npm's rules (no spaces). - - There are new XML tags that are pretty self explanatory: ''<author>'', ''<description>'', ''<license>'', ''<keywords>'' (comma separated keywords). They help with search and discovery. - - = plugman = - - Plugman creates a package.json based on Cordova's plugin.xml which is required by npm. It stores its configuration, log file and cache in a folder named ''.plugman'' in the user's directory so that it doesn't interfere with npm's own configuration. It implements and maps the following actions: - - * '''adduser''': adds a user to the registry - * '''publish''': creates a package.json based on the plugin.xml and publishes it to the registry - * '''unpublish''': unpublishes package from registry - * '''search''': searches a plugin given some keywords - * '''fetch''': fetches a plugin from cache (if present) or from registry - - = plugman = - - plugman can be pointed at any registry by running - - * {{{$ plugman config set registry http://localhost:5984/registry/_design/app/_rewrite # useful for local debugging }}} - - plugman has new commands to handle ''adduser'', ''publish'', ''unpublish'', ''search''. One can install a plugin from registry by specifying the plugin_name if that plugin is not already in the Cordova project's plugins directory. - - == Examples == - - * {{{$ plugman --plugin plugin_name --project /path/to/project --platform ios}}} - * {{{$ plugman adduser}}} - * {{{$ plugman publish path/to/plugin}}} - * {{{$ plugman unpublish plugin[@version]}}} - * {{{$ plugman search keyword1[,keyword2,...,keywordn]}}} - - = Missing = - - npm does not support ''download counts'' or ''popularity'' for packages. We might be able to add that later. - --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: commits-unsubscr...@cordova.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: commits-h...@cordova.apache.org
