Cordova new filetransfer
To create a new Cordova project that uses the FileTransfer plugin, you can follow these steps:
-
Install Node.js and npm (if you haven't already) from the official Node.js website.
-
Open a terminal or command prompt and navigate to the directory where you want to create your new project.
-
Run the following command to create a new Cordova project:
cordova create myproject
Replace "myproject" with the name of your project.
-
Change into the project directory:
cd myproject
-
Run the following command to add the FileTransfer plugin to your project:
cordova plugin add cordova-plugin-file-transfer
This will download and install the FileTransfer plugin.
-
Create a new JavaScript file in the
www
directory of your project, for examplefiletransfer.js
. This file will contain the code that uses the FileTransfer plugin. -
In the
filetransfer.js
file, add the following code:var fileTransfer = new FileTransfer();
fileTransfer.upload('http://example.com/upload', 'path/to/local/file', function(event) { console.log('Upload success'); }, function(error) { console.log('Upload failed'); });
This code creates a new instance of the FileTransfer object and uses it to upload a file from the local file system to a remote server.
8. Open the `index.html` file in the `www` directory and add a script tag to include the `filetransfer.js` file:
```
9. Run the following command to build and run your project on a simulator or emulator:
```
cordova run android
```
Replace "android" with the platform you want to run on (e.g. "ios", "browser", etc.).
- Open the simulator or emulator and navigate to the
index.html
file. You should see the file upload form and be able to select a file to upload.
That's it! You now have a new Cordova project that uses the FileTransfer plugin to upload files.
