Using plug-ins to enable your apps

The BlackBerry Dynamics SDK for Cordova comes with Cordova-style plug-ins to enable your apps. Each plug-in represents a specific BlackBerry Dynamics feature. For a description of the available plug-ins, see Plug-ins available in the BlackBerry Dynamics SDK for Cordova.

The plug-ins are available for local installation only. You cannot install them from NPM. The SDK includes the full set of plug-ins, so you can install them by using the cordova plugin add command and specifying the file system path.

You can use the cordova-plugin-bbd-all plug-in to install all the plug-ins with a single command. You can add plug-ins before or after you add a platform.

In Cordova app development, it is not necessary to use an IDE because Cordova provides command-line tools for compiling, building, and running apps. Android Studio and Xcode are also supported.
