+ <h2>Cordova's Plugin Registry</h2>
+ <div class="meta">Posted by: <a href="http://www.maxwoghiren.com">Max Woghiren</a></div>
+ <p class="meta">21 Oct 2013</p>
+ <div class="post">
+
+<p>Cordova 3.0 saw a major shift towards plugins. As part of this shift, weâre focusing on making plugins easy to use and, equally importantly, easy to discover. App developers want to know what plugins are available to them, and plugin developers want their plugins to be visible to the community.</p>
+
+<p>Our solution, which has been alluded to in previous posts, is the <a href="http://plugins.cordova.io/">Cordova plugin registry</a>. Using the Cordova CLI, app developers can add plugins to their projects with a single command.</p>
+
+<p>From anywhere within an appâs directory, plugins can be added to a project with</p>
+
+<pre><code>cordova plugin add [PLUGIN_ID]</code></pre>
+
+<p>where PLUGIN_ID is the id (typically reverse-domain style) shown on the plugin registry website. You can also download a specific version of a plugin:</p>
+
+<pre><code>cordova plugin add [PLUGIN_ID]@[VERSION]</code></pre>
+
+<p>How do these plugins get there? Using plugman, plugin developers can easily send their plugins out into the world to be discovered by app developers.</p>
+
+<p>First, if you donât have a plugman account, you need to create one.</p>
+
+<pre><code>plugman adduser</code></pre>
+
+<p>Then, youâre free to publish!</p>
+
+<pre><code>plugman publish [PATH_TO_YOUR_PLUGIN]</code></pre>
+
+<p>Thereâs more you can do (such as search for a plugin by keyword)âyou can find more information using <code>plugman --help</code>.</p>
+
+<p>For general plugin development help, you can find a guide <a href="http://cordova.apache.org/docs/en/3.1.0/guide_hybrid_plugins_index.md.html#Plugin%20Development%20Guide">here</a>.</p>
+
+<p>All of Cordovaâs plugins (which were bundled with core Cordova prior to 3.0) can be found in the registry.</p>
+
+<p>Also, there are already some third-party plugins available and ready to use. Google has contributed multiple plugins to the registry, allowing app developers to use some <a href="http://developer.chrome.com/apps/api_index.html">Chrome Apps APIs</a>, such as identity and socket, in their Cordova applications.</p>
+
+<p>Other great examples include an NFC plugin by Chariot Solutions, an iOS keychain plugin by prominent Cordova contributor Shazron Abdullah, and a spinner/loader plugin by Wizcorpâand the list keeps growing.</p>
+
+<p>Cordovaâs new plugin registry makes it easier than ever to discover and contribute plugins. Whether you want to peruse whatâs available or add to that list, check it out <a href="http://plugins.cordova.io/">here</a>!</p>
