Andrew Grieve commented on CB-6024:
-----------------------------------
It's pretty important that all flags appear in the --help text, so I don't
think it's avoidable to have to change CLI the way things are set up.
That said, there's been some talk now that platforms are set up with a
package.json, that they could provide a JS API.
E.g. we could have each platform optionally export a function that stuff more
flags into nopt as well as into the help text.
E.g.
{code}
var platform = require('./path/to/cordova-wp8');
if (platform.initExtraBuildFlags) {
platform.initExtraBuildFlags(nopt, helpText);
}
{code}
For this to work, we'd need to re-work how we do help text in CLI (right now
it's just a plain-text file). That said, I think re-working would be a bonus as
it'd be nice if you could do "cordova help command" or "cordova build --help"
and get the help text for just that command instead of a dump of the whole text
file.
