This guide provides instructions for contributing to this Capacitor plugin.
-
Fork and clone the repo.
-
Install the dependencies.
npm install
Build the plugin web assets and generate plugin API documentation using @capacitor/docgen
.
It will compile the TypeScript code from src/
into ESM JavaScript in dist/esm/
. These files are used in apps with bundlers when your plugin is imported.
Then, Rollup will bundle the code into a single file at dist/plugin.js
. This file is used in apps without bundlers by including it as a script in index.html
.
Build and validate the android native project.
This is useful to run in CI to verify that the plugin builds for Android platform.
Check formatting and code quality, autoformat/autofix if possible.
This template is integrated with ESLint, Prettier. Using these tool is completely optional, but the Capacitor Community strives to have consistent code style and structure for easier cooperation.
There is a prepublishOnly
hook in package.json
which prepares the plugin before publishing, so all you need to do is run:
npm publish
Note: The
files
array inpackage.json
specifies which files get published. If you rename files/directories or add files elsewhere, you may need to update it.
