Overview
Vue-Cordova is a Vue.js plugin designed to streamline the integration of Cordova plugins into your Vue applications. It is compatible with both Vue 1.x and 2.x, making it a versatile choice for developers looking to leverage Cordova’s capabilities within the Vue ecosystem. While it’s important to note that you don’t necessarily need Vue-Cordova to access Cordova plugins, this utility simplifies the process by providing a dedicated interface for Vue components.
Despite its advantages, prospective users should be aware that Vue-Cordova will no longer be maintained or supported in the future. Therefore, it’s advisable to consider its long-term viability when deciding whether to implement this tool in your projects.
