Hello,
I am hoping to make a simple application using capacitor. Due to its simplicity I do not need, nor want, to use one of the Javascript frameworks.
I have created a project by including Ionic and Capacitor within script tags:
<script type="module" src="@ionic/ionic.esm.js"></script>
<script nomodule src="@ionic/ionic.js"></script>
<script src="capacitor.js"></script>
It all works, when I serve the application I can access the Capacitor object within console.
However, when I install a plugin, for example Geolocation, the capacitor.js file is not updated to include the geolocation plugin. This means I either need to manually add in another include, or merge the two files.
Is there a reason why npx cap copy isn’t merging the Capacitor plugins into one file for me to include in the project?
I tried pika/web, but it hasn’t really solved the problem.
Is my best option to stick with Ionic and Cordova?
When I get to the point of generating an Android or IOS application, will I have similar issues with the plugins not being integrated?
I have had a look in the Android build files and I can’t seem to find the Geolocation plugin javascript. The cordova and cordiva_plugins files are empty and the capacitor.js only contains the core.
Thank you!
