Update cordova plugins in one command

Question

I am wondering is there an easier way to update cordova plugin?

I googled, found a hook (@ year 2013), but this is not 100% what I want.

I know I can do this

Answer 1

I too would LOVE something like this - plugin management with the PhoneGap/Cordova CLI is so annoying. This blog post here may be a start to something like this - but I'm not quite sure A) how to leverage it yet or B) how well it would work.

My initial attempt at running the entire script right in the terminal command line did create an output of text with add/remove plugin commands ... but they didn't actually execute they just echoed into the terminal. I've reached out to the author hoping they will explain a bit more.

Answer 2

The easiest way would be to delete the plugins folder. Run this command: cordova prepare But, before you run it, you can check each plugin's version that you think would work for your build on Cordova's plugin repository website, and then you should modify the config.xml file, manually. Use upper carrots, "^" in the version field of the universal modeling language file, "config," to indicate that you want the specified plugin to update to the latest version in the future (the next time you run the command.)
