generator-cordova-plugin-devbed

generator-cordova-plugin-devbed is a Yeoman generator that streamlines the development of Cordova plugins by automatically setting up both the plugin structure and a dedicated test application. It simplifies the testing workflow by integrating the cordova-plugin-test-framework and configuring everything needed for plugin validation.

Key Features

• Plugin Scaffolding — Uses plugman to generate the basic Cordova plugin structure and modifies plugin.xml for proper JavaScript object placement.
• Integrated Test Bed — Creates a complete Cordova application specifically for testing the generated plugin.
• Test Framework Integration — Automatically adds cordova-plugin-test-framework and configures the app to run Jasmine 2.0.0 tests.
• Multi-Platform Support — Adds specified platforms (Android/iOS) to both the plugin and test application.
• Package Management — Adds package.json and other recommended files to the plugin directory.

Philosophy

The generator follows a convention-over-configuration approach to eliminate manual setup steps, allowing developers to focus on plugin functionality rather than build and test infrastructure.
