Vue.js plugin for Cordova

Note : Compatible with every version of VueJS (1.x and 2.x)

You may not need Vue-Cordova

Important Note: You DO NOT need Vue-Cordova to use Vue with Cordova or access Cordova plugins from Vue components. Vue-Cordova is a utility that makes the following plugins available in Vue components under Vue.cordova:

cordova-plugin-camera
cordova-plugin-device
cordova-plugin-geolocation
cordova-plugin-contacts
cordova-plugin-chrome-apps-sockets-tcp
cordova-plugin-sms

If you are using a different Cordova plugin you can access it directly from a Vue component from the window.cordova object & you can avoid this library entirely. For example, if you installed the barcode scanner plugin you could access its scan method in a Vue component like this:

cordova.plugins.barcodeScanner.scan((result) => {console.log(result)}, (err) => {console.err(error)});

Note: This assumes that the plugin (1) installed correctly, (2) Cordova emitted the 'deviceready' event, (3) cordova.js is available to the application

If you still wish to use Vue-Cordova see here for instructions on how to register a new plugin with this tool.

Future

Please note that this tool will no longer be maintained or supported

How to use

Add the NPM package to your project

npm install --save vue-cordova

Add the plugin to your Vue instance according to your setup

// CommonJS
var Vue = require('vue');
var VueCordova = require('vue-cordova');
Vue.use(VueCordova);

// import
import Vue from 'vue'
import VueCordova from 'vue-cordova'
Vue.use(VueCordova)

The package provides a global object Vue.cordova

console.log(Vue.cordova);

This object provides API for the following events and will hold the Cordova plugins API objects you might be using.

This library is a syntax helper. It provides an easier access to the global variables defined by Cordova.
