Cordova Plug-Ins Support
The Tabris.js API is primarily a UI/widget library, with some additional browser-inspired APIs. To provide features not covered by either of these, Tabris.js can be extended with Apache Cordova plug-ins.
The JavaScript API documentation of a Cordova plug-ins is also valid in Tabris.js, with one minor exception: It is not necessary to listen to the deviceready
event before accessing plug-in API. All plug-ins will be ready when the applications main module is loaded.
Default Plug-Ins
While using the Tabris.js Developer App, your application can directly access the following pre-packaged plug-ins:
These plug-ins have tested with Tabris.js and a demo can be found among the Tabris.js examples.
Other Cordova Plug-Ins
To use Cordova Plug-Ins not part of the Developer App you need to add them during the build process. Most of the Plug-Ins will work out of the box but not all. This is because Tabris.js uses a native UI and no HTML5. As a result all Plug-Ins that manipulate the DOM will not work.
Plug-Ins that have been tested with Tabris.js are tracked as GitHub issues. If the Plug-In is confirmed to work the issue is closed. Please feel free to add issues for Plug-Ins that you tested.
