Chapter 4. Working with Plugins

Using web standards and JavaScript to build a native app may have its limitations, because apps developed using native code can interact deeply with the operating system. But this is only partially true when dealing with PhoneGap apps because its architecture allows developers to extend the framework capabilities with the help of custom plugins.

In this chapter you will:

Learn what a PhoneGap plugin is and how to install the plugins in your project
Know how to list all the installed plugins and remove unwanted plugins
Understand how to manage project plugins and their dependencies using Plugman
Discover how to implement the Device API in the project
