[aerogear-dev] Cordova Plugin Idea

[Burr Sutter]

Good point, I was not very clear - I consider the plugin to be at least two deliverables:
1) The native code
2) the JS lib that exposes "wraps" the API for the JS developer

For item 2, ideally the JS API would be identical between iOS and Android.

The JS side could maybe be made as a "device storage" adapter that would then talk to the correct native pieces but that's a little beyond me at this point as I haven't looked into Cordova contribution much yet.
