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.
