# Development
|
||||
|
||||
## Setup
|
||||
|
||||
1. Install the requirements defined in the [README.md](README.md#requirements)
|
||||
2. Install npm dependencies.
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
npm install
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Using a Cloned Repo as a Shared Framework
|
||||
|
||||
By default, when you add a platform to a Cordova project, the platform files are copied directly into your Android project. However, during development, it can be easier to use a shared framework instead.
|
||||
|
||||
Using the `--link` option creates symbolic links to your cloned repository instead of copying the files. This allows you to make changes to the core platform files in Android Studio and have those changes automatically reflected in your cloned development repository (and vice versa).
|
||||
|
||||
To add a linked platform, run:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
cordova platform add --link /path/to/cordova-android
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Unit Testing
|
||||
|
||||
Our projects include unit tests, which can be run with:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
npm test
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Linting
|
||||
|
||||
During development, you should run the linter to ensure the code follows our coding standards:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
npm run lint
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
> [!NOTE]
|
||||
> Running `npm test` will also execute the linter before running the tests.
|
||||
|
||||
### Fixing Lint Issues
|
||||
|
||||
In many cases, lint warnings can be fixed automatically with:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
npm run lint:fix
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
If an issue cannot be resolved automatically, it will require manual review and correction.
|
||||
|
||||
## Install Nightly Build
|
||||
|
||||
> [!WARNING]
|
||||
> Nightly builds are generated daily from the `main` branch and are considered **unstable** and **untested**. They are **not for use in production applications** and are intended only for development and testing purposes.
|
||||
>
|
||||
> See [Apache Cordova - Nightly Builds](https://cordova.apache.org/contribute/nightly_builds.html) for more details.
|
||||
|
||||
You can install the nightly build with:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
cordova platform add android@nightly
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
> [!NOTE]
|
||||
> Due to recent changes to npm authentication tokens, nightly builds may occasionally stop publishing.
|
||||
|
||||
## Building from Source
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Clone the repository** locally.
|
||||
|
||||
2. **Change to the repository directory.**
|
||||
|
||||
3. **Install dependencies:**
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
npm install
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Installs all production and development dependencies required for using and developing the package.
|
||||
|
||||
4. **Update sub-dependencies:**
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
npm update
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Over time, `package-lock.json` can become stale and may trigger audit warnings. `npm update` refreshes dependencies within the pinned versions.
|
||||
|
||||
> [!NOTE]
|
||||
> When you install the published package from the npm registry (normal usage), it does **not** include a `package-lock.json` and automatically fetches the latest compatible dependencies. Running `npm update` locally simulates this behavior.
|
||||
|
||||
5. **Generate a tarball:**
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
npm pack
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Creates a `.tgz` file that can be installed in a project via:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
npm install /path/to/package.tgz
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
> [!NOTE]
|
||||
> Tarball will be created in the `.asf-release` directory within this repository directory.

### Notes
|

|

Nightly builds are **not recommended for production apps**. They are intended for testing purposes. This allows users either to check if recent changes in the main branch have fixed existing issues or to identify new bugs before an official release.
|
||||
|
||||
Nightly builds are generated daily and may be **unstable**.
