How to add a local cordova plugin with ionic / ionic 2 / ionic 3 / ionic 4 / ionic 5?

I currently develop an app with ionic, and my cordova plugin in the same time. I wanted to know how to use the file plugins/fetch.json to update my plugin from a local file system. Any idea ?

Solution

  • To add a local plugin with ionic :

    ionic cordova plugin add /path/to/my/plugin/my.plugin.folder.here/

    to remove it :

    ionic cordova plugin remove my.plugin.folder.here

    But to update it it's another problem. Actually I'm removing and installing it again after each edit. Good luck ;)

    EDIT

    If you are using a previous version of ionic cli, and it doesn't work, change the commands to the following :

    ionic plugin add /path/to/my/plugin/my.plugin.folder.here/

    and

    ionic plugin remove my.plugin.folder.here
