Plugin Search
Hi Team,
I want to reach a final verdict on how deal with the broken search page
at https://cordova.apache.org/plugins/
We have an active issue being tracked at
https://github.com/apache/cordova-docs/issues/1128 but in summary,
the rest service used to power the search has gone offline and doesn't
appear to be coming back.
Throughout the thread there has been several ideals about how to move
forward including:
1. Using another third-party API service: https://api-docs.npms.io/
2. Having a static page listing the officially supported Apache plugins,
with a link to https://www.npmjs.com/search?q=ecosystem%3Acordova
3. Removing the page entirely, maybe with a blog post explaining how to
find third-party plugins.
Additionally there are few ideas floated around with using the NPM Couch
API directly, but there may be terms of use issues involved without
having self-managed server hosting a mirror.
Personally, I vote -1 for #1 and #3. npms.io doesn't have a clear terms
of use, as far as I can find. I'm not sure if the API matches the old
npmsearch that we did use, and we may just run into the same issue
down the road. For #3, community members have already explicitly
expressed dissent with removing the page entirely.
I vote +1 for #2, having the static page with a mention + link to NPM
for third-party plugins. I think this is most likely the best path forward.

I agree with Norm: +1 on #2. The npmjs.com search works fairly well - it wouldn’t be worth trying to make something better.

Thanks for your input everybody.
#2 is the clear winner. Erisu I guess already made a PR that follows
this path at https://github.com/apache/cordova-docs/pull/1269
Cheers,

+1 to option #2
Niklas, option 2 already mentions having a link to the npm search with
cordova ecosystem prefilled for easier searching of other 3rd party plugins

I'm +1 on #2, too. Making clear which plugins are Official and supported
actively is a good idea. And just a simple note on how to find more on
npm is enough IMHO.
