Cordova Plugin Directly on top of Andorid / iOS APIs

in General
Hello,

I'm thinking about developing an apache Cordova plugin to implement some or all of (at least) the Android API functions.

The goal would be to provide a hybrid app with all of the capabilities provided by the API without using a general BLE library such as:
or 

Does anyone know if such a thing already exists? Is anyone currently working on one? I don't want to reinvent the wheel if its already done.

Cheers!

    The Cordova page says it was last updated 5 months ago and I don't think many features were supported to begin with.

    Thanks Eric. Yeah the ldeluca (IBM) plugin is the one I referenced above. Unfortunately she doesn't call the metawear api - she uses general purpose BLE gatt transactions to interact directly.

    I think having a cordova library implemented on top of the android api, iOS or both would be really beneficial for hybrid app developers.

    If anyone else is working on it - please chime in.

    @matt1, I came here looking to see if the same thing existed.  I have not been able to find anything.  Maybe mbientlabs can create a repository for it on their github account and allow the community to build it out?


    I need to quickly prototype an app to collect data for some analysis from the field, so having a cordova plugin that could be used from the Ionic framework would be ideal.  I would be willing to contribute some time/pull requests to the project.

    lwoodson,
    We can certainly do that. I can create a repository in our projects github page for you. You should send us an email so we can set it up.

    Laura, I sent an email to hello@mbientlab.com.  Thanks for allowing us to help.

    Hi all,

    I wanted to know if there has been any progress in the creation of a repository for hybrid apps to access MetaWear's range of sensors.

    Any information on this would be great!

    Thanks

    We setup a repo for the cordova plugin as requested but there hasn't been any activity there at all.

    Actually some work has started on this over in my fork.  Let me pull it over.  It's still very much a work in progress,  needs documentation etc.,  but I would love to get help to make it better and any input on how to make it awesome!
