Make Your App Do Stuff

Go Beyond A Webapp

Outside of standard web functionality, the useful native app fuctionality can be found in cordova plugins:

https://cordova.apache.org/plugins/

Ways to pull a plugin into your app on PhoneGap Build:

1. From npm:

   <plugin name="phonegap-plugin-push" source="npm" />

2. From a git repo:

   <plugin spec="https://github.com/phonegap/phonegap-plugin-push.git#1.6.3" source="git" />

3. PhoneGap Build's hosted repository: With the above two options, including private repositories, this repository can no longer be submitted to, and should no longer be used. For reference anyways:

   <plugin name="com.phonegap.plugins.barcodescanner" source="pgb" />

See the individual plugins' documentation for it's usage and Javascript API.
