Hi folks,
Is there a single issue or location for tracking the latest status on the
-browserify functionality in cordova? I've got cordova 4.3.0 installed and have
been playing with this a bit, as it's a feature I'd very much like to use for
our app! But, I have a few questions on how it's working, and couldn't find any
official documentation on the current status and what should work/what doesn't.
I'm not intimately familiar with the cordova code, but I'm happy to contribute
back anything I can do to help make this work better.
Here's what I'm currently running into:
1) When I run 'cordova prepare -browserify', all I see is the original
plugin JS files (in /plugins/<name>/www/) end up with the following appended to
them (note, each time you prepare, it continues to append another iteration):
window.navigator = window.navigator || {};
window.navigator.camera = window.navigator.camera || {};
require('cordova/builder').assignOrWrapInDeprecateGetter(window.navigator,
'camera', module.exports);
It's usually duplicated in there 2-3 additional times after each run of
prepare. Is that expected?
2) cordova.define() doesn't seem to be defined in the browserify model. Is
this a legacy plugin definition approach? I couldn't find any documentation
about it, but I don't see it being used in any of the current Apache plugins.
I'm running into it with the barcodescanner plugin
(https://github.com/wildabeast/BarcodeScanner/blob/master/www/barcodescanner.js#L132);
commenting it out seems to work fine. Does this need to be translated in the
browserify code?
3) Minor: the plugin www directories still exist in the output www folder,
even though the JS isn't in there (since it is bundled into cordova.js).
I'm not on the mailing list, so please include me directly in any replies.
Thanks,
Dan
