cordova-browser plugin polyfills -- which projects already have work
in this space?
Hi All,
So there's this new cordova-browser platform thing, which is awesome. I
wanted to get the ball rolling on full plugin support for browser platform
(thanks to Suraj Pindoria + other Adobe folk for the great work so far).
I know a bunch of people/teams have independently solved a lot of the
problems with cordova plugins not running in a browser. E.g. Some teams
have built client libraries that do feature detection and fallback. I know
there are some frameworks like angular that have libs for polyfilling
cordova plugins (I think Ionic may do this by default?). And we saw
Telerik demo cordova plugin polyfills in something that already looked like
cordova-browser at PGDay.
Instead of re-inventing the wheel, please help point out such existing
solutions, and/or reach out to those devs and get them involved in
upstreaming.
Core plugins that still need implementations are:
cordova-plugin-battery-status
cordova-plugin-console
cordova-plugin-contacts
cordova-plugin-dialogs
cordova-plugin-file-transfer
cordova-plugin-file
cordova-plugin-geolocation
cordova-plugin-globalization
cordova-plugin-inappbrowser
cordova-plugin-media
cordova-plugin-media-capture
cordova-plugin-splashscreen
cordova-plugin-vibration
cordova-plugin-statusbar
cordova-plugin-test-framework
cordova-plugins/android-legacy-websql/
cordova-plugins/file-system-roots/
cordova-plugins/keyboard/
cordova-plugins/websql/
The process for implementing a browser polyfill (I'm new to this, may be
missing steps), appears to be just like any other platform whose
implementations are in js (like firefoxos, windows). Here is the
implementation for device plugin for example:
In plugin.xml:
<!-- browser -->
<platform name="browser">
<config-file target="config.xml" parent="/*">
<feature name="Device">
<param name="browser-package" value="Device" />
</feature>
</config-file>
<js-module src="src/browser/DeviceProxy.js" name="DeviceProxy">
<runs />
</js-module>
</platform>
The critical bits of src/browser/DeviceProxy.js:
module.exports = {
getDeviceInfo: function (success, error) {
setTimeout(function () {
success({
cordova: browser.cordovaVersion,
platform: getPlatform(),
model: getModel(),
version: getVersion(),
uuid: null
});
}, 0);
}
};
require("cordova/exec/proxy").add("Device", module.exports);
That last line is the critical bit, which signals to the bridge to forward
exec calls to these js functions for the "Device" feature. Proxy handler
is called with (success, fail, args).

Also - I believe those APIs are available only to Chrome apps & extensions.
I do know though, that Chrome team is trying to make bluetooth on the open
web a thing: https://github.com/WebBluetoothCG/web-bluetooth. I doubt all
the access that you'd want will be available any time soon though (they are
targeting just the "safe" subset of Bluetooth).

No. Or if it does, it won't ...
You should use feature detection to determine if you can respond correctly
to an API call, and/or throw a descriptive error if you cannot make it work.

Does the browser platform always target Chrome?
When implementing the browser platform in a plugin can I access protected
chrome APIs such as
https://developer.chrome.com/apps/bluetooth and
https://developer.chrome.com/apps/bluetoothLowEnergy?

Sorry - what I meant was - it wasn’t refreshed. It should be now and
should show up when you filter to Browser.

Ray, thanks for adding this.
Using it, I found: https://github.com/Binarypark/cordova_app_version_plugin
which is the first non-core plugin to claim browser support :)
(which, by the way, is both crazy that it required a plugin and awesome
that someone wrote the feature as a small trivial plugin and shared with
the world).

Good point, Michal. It would be nice if we could browse the plugins by just
filtering the platform.

We have started working on porting some of the plugins to the browser platform. I think we should add JIRA work items for each, and assign to ourselves, if we are starting to work on a plugin to ensure that we don't have 2 folks working on the same plugin :)

Just an FYI that geolocation does work in the browser. I tested this over the summer and all the major browsers already have support for it.

to be a filter option on search results but cannot search for * or . -- and
the filter doesn't persist nor alter url for linkability.

added support.
