Cordova Hooks

This directory may contain scripts used to customize cordova commands. This directory used to exist at .cordova/hooks, but has now been moved to the project root. Any scripts you add to these directories will be executed before and after the commands corresponding to the directory name. Useful for integrating your own build systems or integrating with version control systems.

Remember: Make your scripts executable.

Hook Directories

The following subdirectories will be used for hooks:

after_build/
after_compile/
after_docs/
after_emulate/
after_platform_add/
after_platform_rm/
after_platform_ls/
after_plugin_add/
after_plugin_ls/
after_plugin_rm/
after_plugin_search/
after_prepare/
after_run/
after_serve/
before_build/
before_compile/
before_docs/
before_emulate/
before_platform_add/
before_platform_rm/
before_platform_ls/
before_plugin_add/
before_plugin_ls/
before_plugin_rm/
before_plugin_search/
before_prepare/
before_run/
before_serve/
pre_package/ <-- Windows 8 and Windows Phone only.

Script Interface

All scripts are run from the project's root directory and have the root directory passes as the first argument. All other options are passed to the script using environment variables:

• CORDOVA_VERSION - The version of the Cordova-CLI.
• CORDOVA_PLATFORMS - Comma separated list of platforms that the command applies to (e.g.: android, ios).
• CORDOVA_PLUGINS - Comma separated list of plugin IDs that the command applies to (e.g.: org.apache.cordova.file, org.apache.cordova.file-transfer)
• CORDOVA_HOOK - Path to the hook that is being executed.
• CORDOVA_CMDLINE - The exact command-line arguments passed to cordova (e.g.: cordova run ios --emulate)

If a script returns a non-zero exit code, then the parent cordova command will be aborted.

Writing hooks

We highly recommend writting your hooks using Node.js so that they are cross-platform. Some good examples are shown here:
