Cordova Plugin Installation


Joseph Caristena

Hi David,
I am searching for a Cordova Plugin and in particular for a scan barcode plugin.

I went to the website:
https://cordova.apache.org/plugins/?q=scan

I viewed many and selected this one
https://www.npmjs.com/package/flyacts-plugin-barcodescanner

I downloaded and unzipped it.

Then I have to copy it in the
AppBuilder >>> Plugins
folder.

Then I have to select the folder from
Menu > Tools > Program Options > Plugins
select the plugin's folder
and click the button called "Install".

Is this right ?

Or do I need to do something else more ?

Let me know.

Thanks

Best
Joseph Caristena

Hello Joseph,

In fact the Barcode plugin is included "out-of-the-box" in App Builder with the Barcode control. You can take a look at the "Barcode" and "Scanner" samples, who deal with that plugin and show us how to use it. Please, try with the refred samples Joseph, and, if you have any problem, just post it here.

P.S. I think you are confuse about Cordova's plugins and App Builder Javascript plugins. This last can use Cordova plugins, but are not the same nor compatibles, so you can't download a Cordova plugin and install it like an App Builder Javascript plugin: in fact, Cordova's plugin no need to be downloaded at all.

Hi David,
Just to get the matter clear, you are right, any kind of approach to plugins is never easy,
reason why I prefer to ask to receive your precious point of view.

Thanks
Joseph
