FAQPage Schema
How do I create a Capacitor plugin for iOS and Android from scratch?

Scaffolding a Capacitor plugin involves generating a complete project structure with Android, iOS, and Web layers, then defining the TypeScript API and implementing the native bridges to align all platforms for npm publishing.

What's the best way to design a TypeScript API for a Capacitor plugin?

Designing a TypeScript API for a Capacitor plugin requires defining strong typings, configuration values, and robust error handling, ensuring the web implementation and native bridges remain aligned and production-ready.

How does Capacitor plugin bridging work across web and native platforms?

Capacitor plugin bridging connects the TypeScript API to native iOS and Android implementations through a defined web layer, synchronizing configuration values and hooks across all platforms during local development.

Do I need to generate documentation before publishing a Capacitor plugin to npm?

Generating documentation is part of delivering a production-ready Capacitor plugin, accompanying the TypeScript API, native iOS and Android bridges, and typings to ensure the package is fully prepared for npm publishing.

Can I use this approach to maintain existing Capacitor plugins?

Yes, this approach supports maintaining existing Capacitor plugins by guiding updates to API definitions, native iOS and Android bridges, web implementations, and typings, while enforcing robust error handling and documentation generation.
