Get cordova package name from javascript hook

Question

I am writing a cordova plugin with a node hook to run after_prepare .

This is for Android only.

From within this hook I need to get the cordova package name, so I can copy a file to the src/com/example/myproject folder (if the package is com.example.myproject).

If I know the package name I can make this path. I have it working hardcoded now but I need this to work with two different package names.

Is there a way to get the package name from within this code in the plugin hook?

module.exports = function(ctx){
   var fs = ctx.requireCordovaModule('fs');
   var path = ctx.requireCordovaModule('path');
   var deferral = ctx.requireCordovaModule('q').defer();

   //get package name here

   //do other stuff
}

I have done a lot of research but have not been able to find this.

Thanks.

It doesn't look like it is available off of the context object, but you could try to parse the config.xml.

module.exports = function(context) {
    var fs = require('fs');
    var path = require('path');
    var config_xml = path.join(context.opts.projectRoot, 'config.xml');
    var et = context.requireCordovaModule('elementtree');

    var data = fs.readFileSync(config_xml).toString();
    var etree = et.parse(data);

    console.log(etree.getroot().attrib.id);
};

The local-webserver plugin uses a similar strategy for reading config properties.
