Kelvin Dart created CB-5902:
-------------------------------
Summary: `cordova plugin rm` include a wildcard option
Key: CB-5902
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CB-5902
Project: Apache Cordova
Issue Type: New Feature
Components: CLI, Plugman
Affects Versions: 3.3.0
Environment: All
Reporter: Kelvin Dart
Priority: Trivial
This is something on my mind which would help a small bit (and I thought would
be quite a nice addition to the CLI).
How easy would it be to implement a regex matcher in plugman - so I can remove
plugins using a wildcard regex? I have a few plugins which have the same domain
identifier (in the following format: com.mycompany.*).
Once added, I sometimes need to remove every company plugin while I'm
developing it - at the moment it can be a bit painstaking to type each one. Is
it therefore possible to include include the ability to specify a wildcard
regex so I can do the following (as an example to remove all Cordova plugins):
`cordova plugin rm org.apache.cordova*`
Or:
`cordova plugin rm org.apache.cordova.*`
This will then iterate over my list of installed plugins and pattern match and
remove any plugin that's successfully matched to the supplied string.
It comes with the added benefit, if I need to debug an issue that might be
plugin related, then I can remove all plugins via `cordova plugin rm *`. It
also is consistent with the CLI way of doing things (i.e. to clear a directory
on the Mac I can do `rm *.js` to delete all files with a js extension).
Just my two cents.
