Domvel opened a new issue #155: (improvement) Do not require the www-folder for e.g. adding plugins. URL: https://github.com/apache/cordova/issues/155 # Improvement (Bug? Feature Request?) Currently Cordova requires the file `config.xml` and the `www` folder to detect a Cordova-based project. The need of the www-folder is not necessary. It does not matter if it is empty or not. And Cordova will not touch it. (e.g. for installing a native plugin). Cordova is just happy if the www-folder is there. It's annoying if the www-folder is the dist (build) folder and not tracked by git. In this case I have to add a `.gitkeep` file and ignore all other files inside for git. To always keep it. If you try to install a plugin without the www-folder, you'll get the error: ```text cordova plugin add cordova-plugin-inappbrowser --verbose Current working directory is not a Cordova-based project. ``` Expected behavior: Just detect the Cordova-based project by the config.xml. Q: Why? The www-folder is the source Folder for Cordova! A: Well, it is used to build the apk. But If you use frameworks like Ionic / Angular you have another source base (src-folder) and build to the www-folder to finally pack it to the apk with Cordova. What do you think? Can we do without the www-folder? It's just a dummy in this case.
