Some notes to help me understand Ionic Capacitor Plugin Development

Thoughts

• npm link the plugin in development. if you npm install it doesn’t take your changes.
• Only npm run watch the plugin in development. Don’t npm run build on plugin while VSCode or ionic serve is running because it deletes dist and friends and this makes VSCode and other watchers unhappy.

`Unhandled Rejection: “XXX” plugin is not implemented on android

• Forgot npm install $plugin or ionic cap sync?
• Does Android Studio show the plugin on the left in the project view? My newly added erik-capacitor-plugin-test didn’t show until I File -> Sync Project with Gradle Files.

android/app/src/main/assets/capacitor.config.json

This file determines whether to use bundled web assets or serve it from development server.

	"bundledWebRuntime": false,
	"server": {
		"url": "http://192.168.18.237:8100"
	}

android/capacitor.settings.gradle

include ':capacitor-storage'
project(':capacitor-storage').projectDir = new File('../node_modules/@capacitor/storage/android')

include ':erik-capacitor-plugin-test'
project(':erik-capacitor-plugin-test').projectDir = new File('../../erik-capacitor-plugin-test/android')
