PhoneGap: How to Get list of all plugins using Javascript

Question

I am trying to retreive list of all available plugins using Javascript in phoneGap.

Is this possible to get list of available plugins?

Any response will be appreciated.

Thanks

Answer 1

Check how cordova.js is registrating the plugins https://github.com/apache/cordova-js/blob/master/src/common/pluginloader.js

You can then iterate through the <script> elements after initialisation is complete and log their src.

From https://github.com/apache/cordova-js/blob/master/src/common/modulemapper.js you might event get their ids.

Answer 2

This is hard, there is no a easy way.

Some plugins store their function in cordova.plugin, you can check this to retrieve some. Others include their functions in the window global variable...

The only real way I know, is to enter into the CLI

cordova plugin list

Or just check your plugins folder. But this is not in the javascript.

The only way I have in mind right now, is to do a hook, in node, in the before_prepare, which reads the plugin directory, and stores that data somewhere, so you can access it in the javascript.

Good luck

@user2899728,
your question begs a certain amount of ignorance. Cordova/Phonegap uses only HTML, CSS and Javascript. FAQ (last question). So, the real question: where do I get plugins?

There are several respositories.

• http://cordova.apache.org/plugins/ - The "official" repository.
• https://www.npmjs.com/package/cordova-plugins - npm mirror of "official"
• https://build.phonegap.com/plugins - The "official" phonegap repository. (retired, but readable)
• http://www.plugreg.com/plugins

More plugins are available on github, but they are sources for the "official" or independent that can be used with the "plugin" method. (See plugman)

NOTE: This exclude libraries that may be available on the Internet, such as Jquery, or service-based libraries - like firebase. -- Best of Luck.
