--------------------------------------
Summary: Allow removing a whole XML element using <config-file>
Key: CB-13484
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CB-13484
Project: Apache Cordova
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: cordova-common
Affects Versions: 2.1.1
Reporter: Ibrahim M. Ghazal
Currently, {{<config-file>}} can only *add* an XML element to a config file,
but not *remove* an element. {{<edit-config>}} can remove attributes from an
element, but not whole elements.
I'd like the ability to remove elements by adding something to {{config.xml}}
instead of writing a hook.
This is useful because some plugins include extra permissions which are not
always needed (For example, {{cordova-plugin-file}} adds the
{{WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE}} permission, but not all apps that include
{{cordova-plugin-file}} will actually write outside their data directory).
Example syntax:
{code}
<config-file mode="remove" parent="/manifest" target="AndroidManifest.xml"
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android";>
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE" />
</config-file>
{code}
(Note the {{mode="remove"}}, the default if absent should be "add")
