Defaults

Override default CLI flags in .ember-cli, which lives in your project root. For example, to change the default platform from ios to android:

#.ember-cli
platform: 'android',
reloadUrl: 'http://mycomputer:4200'

corber init

Identifies your project type, create a new folder at corber including Corber configuration, and initializes a Cordova project at corber/cordova.

Examples

• corber init new-android-project --name=AppName --cordova-id=com.isleofcode.app --template-path=../template

cordova-id flag

io.corber.yourAppName is the default cordova-id, which ultimately represents your iOS and Android project ids. Android projects require reverse domain app ids.

By release, you should update id to com.yourdomain.foo. This is achieved by setting the id property on the widget node in the corber/cordova/config.xml.

<?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8'?>
<widget id="com.myappdevcompany.phoneapp" version="1.0.0" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/ns/widgets" xmlns:cdv="http://cordova.apache.org/ns/1.0">
    <name>phoneApp</name>

corber start

The start command supports iOS and Android. It boots an emulator, installs / launches an application to the emulator and starts your frameworks development server for livereload.

To learn more, read here

Examples

• corber start
• corber start --platform=android

corber build

Runs a Corber build by building your JavaScript application, copying assets to the Cordova web directory, and building the Cordova application. To learn more, read here.

The build command also takes all of the non gradle-specific cordova build opts (e.g. provisioningProfile, codeSignIdentity).

Examples

• corber build
• corber build --environment=production --platform=ios
• corber build --environment=production --platform=ios --release

corber open

Opens the built iOS project in Xcode. Does not support Android - Android projects will require you to manually open Android Studio.

Examples

• corber open

corber serve

Hot reload. To learn more, read here.

You may want to look at the start command, which is newer and provides a more integrated experience for emulator usage.

Examples

• corber serve
• corber serve --platform=android --reload-url=192.168.1.1
• corber serve --platform=browser --env "development"

corber plugin

Add or remove cordova plugins.

Examples

• corber plugin add cordova-plugin-name
• corber plugin rm cordova-plugin-name

Aliases

• add/a
• remove/rm/r

corber platform

Add or remove cordova platforms.

Examples

• corber platform add ios
• corber platform remove ios
• corber platform add android --crosswalk

Aliases

• add/a
• remove/rm/r

corber prepare

Installs all plugins and platforms in config.xml. Similar to npm install, but for your Cordova context.

Examples

• corber prepare

corber proxy

Passes commands straight to cordova, without interference.

Because this proxies to cordova-cli, you will need cordova-cli installed (this is not required for usage anywhere else). Our hope is you won’t need this command very much. If you do, consider opening an issue to let us know.

When running a proxy command, file paths are relative to your corber/cordova directory.

For example, running corber proxy plugin add ../local-plugin-path from your project root will likely fail, while corber proxy plugin add ../../../local-plugin-path would succeed. (hint: try using corber plugin add ../local-plugin-path instead)

Examples

• corber proxy info
• corber proxy run ios --nobuild

corber make-icons

Automatically generate platform icons from a single svg. For more information, see icon & splash generation.

Examples

• corber make-icons

corber make-splashes

Automatically generate platform splashscreens from a single svg. For more information, see icon & splash generation.

Examples

• corber make-splashes

corber lint-index

Validates there are no leading / paths in your generated app. While Corber will validate your framework config pre build, sometimes items such as hardcoded CDN urls will slip through.

lint-index is automatically run on builds at WARN level.

Examples

• corber lint-index
