phonegap()

Options:

• [options] {Object}
• [autoreload] {Boolean} toggle AutoReload watch (default: true).

Events:

• error is emitted when an error occurs.
• log is emitted with log info.

Return:

• {Function} request listener that can be provided to http.Server or used as connect middleware.

Example:

var phonegap = require('connect-phonegap')(),
    middleware = phonegap();

// subscribe to events
middleware.on('log', function() {
    console.log.apply(this, arguments);
});

// use as middleware
app.use(middleware);

// or

// use as request listener
http.createServer(middleware).listen(3000);

phonegap.listen(options, [callback])

phonegap.serve(options, [callback])

Creates a local server to serve up the project. The intended receiver is the PhoneGap App but any browser can consume the content.

Options:

• [options]
  • [port] {Number} to listen on (Default: 3000).
  • all options available to phonegap() middleware.

Events:

• complete is triggered when server starts. - data {Object}
  • server {http.Server} is the server running.
  • address {String} is the server address.
  • port {Number} is the server port.
• error trigger when there is an error with the server or request.
  • e {Error} is null unless there is an error.
• all events available to phonegap() middleware.
• all events available to http.Server

Return:

• {http.Server} instance that is also an event emitter.

Example:

phonegap.listen()
        .on('complete', function(data) {
            // server is now running
        })
        .on('error', function(e) {
            // an error occured
        });

phonegap.create(options)

The project is created from the same app template used by the PhoneGap CLI and Cordova CLI. When a template does not exist, it is fetched and saved in the common directory:

~/.cordova/lib/www/phonegap/VERSION/

Options:

• options {Object}
  • path {String} is the path to create the project.
  • version {String} defines the PhoneGap app version.

Events:

• progress emits state while downloading the app template.
  • state {Object} with received, total, and percentage.
• error emitted when an error occurs.
  • e {Error}
• complete emits when the project has been created.
  • data {Object} is indentical to the input options.

Example:

phonegap.create({
    path: 'path/to/app',
    version: '3.3.0'
})
.on('progress', function(state) {
    // only emitted when downloading a template.
    // state values are only defined when response supports
    // content-length header.
    if (state.percentage) {
        console.log('downloaded: ' + state.percentage + '%');
    }
}
.on('error', function(e) {
    // handle error
})
.on('complete', function(data) {
    // data.path is the app path
    console.log('created project at: ' + data.path);
});
