[aerogear-dev] Cordova Plugin Idea

[Kris Borchers]

Cordova is something I want to dig into after 1.0. I like the spirit of the idea. See comments inline.

That would probably be the basis of the "default adapter" for DataManager on Cordova. I see a separate Cordova repo that can include a copy of AeroGear.js with the default adapters (Pipeline:Rest, Auth:Rest, DataManager:Memory), then we could implement other adapters, like a DataManager:CoreData adapter on top of that. Our custom build system should allow for building a custom Cordova download as well as be able to include other pieces from the AeroGear.js core (DataManager:SessionLocal for example).

Yes, though this is where we would need to involve someone with Cordova plugin and iOS experience to get that connection between the JS and iOS libs.
