FAQPage Schema
How do I migrate my Cordova app to Capacitor?

To migrate a Cordova app to Capacitor, you need a structured process covering setup, initialization, and platform integration. This involves assessing your project, mapping plugins, and updating configurations to ensure a smooth transition.

How do I map Cordova plugins to Capacitor equivalents during migration?

Mapping Cordova plugins to Capacitor equivalents requires checking compatibility for iOS and Android. You must identify corresponding Capacitor plugins and update your code to ensure native functionality works correctly after the migration.

What is the best way to update config.xml settings for a Capacitor migration?

The best way to update config.xml settings is to migrate them into a new capacitor.config.ts file. This configuration update ensures your modernized project maintains its original behavior across iOS and Android platforms.

Can I test Cordova and Capacitor in parallel during the transition?

Yes, you can test Cordova and Capacitor in parallel during the transition using a hybrid migration approach. This allows you to maintain and verify platform compatibility while progressively modernizing your application.

Does migrating PhoneGap projects to Capacitor follow the same steps as Cordova?

Migrating PhoneGap projects to Capacitor follows the same structured steps as Cordova. Both require plugin mapping, configuration updates, and platform compatibility checks to successfully modernize the application across iOS and Android.
