would it make sense to have a cordova plugin for accessing the core data
stuff from our iOS libs, that is once it's ready.
Yes, makes sense (current thinking ;-)) and I had the same thought,
but forgot about it.
I know cordova has a storage api, but it looks like it is just based on the
W3C web storage/web sql specs
i guess i was thinking this is how it would work:
Possibley have an aerogear.js datamanager plugin for the front end that then
calls the aerogear ios libs coredata plugin
In JS
var dataManager = AeroGear.DataManager({
name: coreDataStore,
type: CoreData //or something
});
var coreDataStore = dataManager.stores[0];
coreDataStore.read() // this would access the Aerogear ios core data part
These are the default storage types of CoreData:
- NSSQLiteStoreType
- NSBinaryStoreType
- NSInMemoryStoreType
We could have a "Cordova-iOS" plugin that stores the Data into an
NSPersistentStore.
This makes sense (current thought) where an application is _really_
hybrid (meaning ObjC code + some HTML/JS bits are doing the work).
The benefit would be both worlds "native ObjC" and "web-ish JS" have
ONE store. The ObjC code runs directly against a CoreData store, the
JS bits would communicate to the same, via a Cordova (iOS) plugin.
Would be good to track this for after 1.0.

I'm not really familiar with core data, so i could be way off base with this
idea
