Cordova CLI comes bundled with a script which provides command-line tab-completion for Bash. If you’re running a sufficiently Unix-y operating system (Linux, BSD, OS X) you can install this to make typing cordova command lines easier.
To install on a Linux or BSD system, copy the scripts/cordova.completion
file to your /etc/bash_completion.d
directory. This will be read the next time you start a new shell.
On OS X, put the scripts/cordova.completion
file anywhere readable, and add the following line to the end of your ~/.bashrc
file:
source <path to>/cordova.completion
This will be read the next time you start a new shell.
It’s easy! As long as your command line begins with an executable called ‘cordova’, just hit <TAB>
at any point to see a list of valid completions.
Examples:
$ cordova <TAB>
build compile create emulate platform plugin prepare serve
$ cordova pla<TAB>
$ cordova platform <TAB>
add ls remove rm
$ cordova platform a<TAB>
$ cordova platform add <TAB>
android blackberry ios wp8 www
$ cordova plugin rm <TAB>
$ cordova plugin rm org.apache.cordova.<TAB>
org.apache.cordova.file org.apache.cordova.inappbrowser
