How to Install a plugin from GitHub

1

I tried to install a plugin from a GitHub repo with the following line in my config.xml: <plugin name="cordova-plugin-extra-events" spec="https://github.com/distinctdan/cordova-plugin-extra-events.git" /> but I receive the following error: UserError: Error: Plugin 'cordova-plugin-extra-events' is not listed in https://npmjs.com.

Is it possible to install plugin from other sources apart from npm? Especially GitHub.

In general, VoltBuilder requires plugins be registered on npm.js.

If a plugin is not registered, you have a few choices:

  1. Ask the author to make an npmjs entry for his plugin.
  2. Ask us to make such an entry (there’s a charge for this service)
  3. Get a VoltBuilder Enterprise Plan, which allows for custom plugins.

I have the same problem… my plugin is not registered on npm.js
How much do you charge to do this for me?

The normal charge is $500 USD. It takes a couple days to set up, document and test.

Oh, gee ! Too much for me. Thanks for responding. I’m trying to contact the author.

Yes, that’s by far the best solution.
