Hi guys, sharing implementation prototype for this feature[1] . please let me
know what do you think.
Highlights:
1. Introduced project settings class (ProjectMeta) which wraps config.json and
exposes project setting info including folders locations (now passed to cordova
methods instead of config.json)
2. Support of the following cordova folders and their default values (no
changes here)
ProjectMeta.defaultWwwPath = 'www';
ProjectMeta.defaultPlatformsPath = 'platforms';
ProjectMeta.defaultHooksPath = 'hooks';
ProjectMeta.defaultMergesPath = 'merges';
ProjectMeta.defaultPluginsPath = 'plugins';
3. Non-default folders structure could be passed during 'cordova create ..'
cordova create hello io.cordova.hellocordova HelloCordova "{ ""id"":
""io.cordova.hellocordova"", ""name"": ""HelloCordova"", ""wwwPath"": ""."",
""platformsPath"": ""cordova_components/platforms"", ""pluginsPath"":
""cordova_components/plugins"", ""hooksPath"": ""cordova_components/hooks"",
""mergesPath"": ""cordova_components/merges"" }"
4. More details and examples could be found here [2]
5. Source code could be found here: [3], [4]

Subject: Re: Directory Structure - CLI directory config proposal
I didn't have anything in mind as far as where the settings could be made
available. I was more broaching the subject to see if it's possible or if
there would be a lot of code rewrite to make it work. I'm not as familiar with
how the CLI works or how the code decides to place certain files in certain
locations on build and creation. So defaulting to the rest of you for that
expertise. IBM would like to see this happen from a product standpoint.

Do you consider the contents of .cordova/config.json to be shared among
developers of a project.
