[jira] [Commented] (CB-4735) Support optional plugin dependancies

["Braden Shepherdson (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CB-4735?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13814993#comment-13814993 ] 

Braden Shepherdson commented on CB-4735:
----------------------------------------

We now have cordova plugin rm -f, to force uninstallation. That goes a long way towards supporting the use cases requested here, although it's admittedly ugly.

> plugins (and perhaps soon apps, and perhaps some future day platforms, too) support plugin dependencies.  However, right now all dependents are mandatory for the successful use of the depending plugin.  It would be nice to be able to list optional dependencies which allow for conditional enhancement, but are not a core requirement.
> One quick example: Logger for iOS would be a nice default dependency of the platform, but should be safely removeable, and CLI should remember and respect the users decision to remove it if they chose to.
