Using cordova plugins in a capacitor-powered app

[please-fill-out-this-field]

Hello!

I have an app that's build around Capacitor v3 and now I need to add some cordova plugins. How do I use them?

The in-app browser plugin, for instance. I installed the plugin and did that cap sync thing - capacitor detected "1 cordova plugin for android", no problems here. The problem is that plugin's documentation tells me to

var ref = cordova.InAppBrowser.open('http://apache.org', '_blank', 'location=yes');

but I have no idea where to get the cordova object from.

First I tried to just yarn add cordova then

// SomeComponent.vue
import cordova from 'cordova'

but it won't build even for web - quasar dev failed with kilometers of import errors.

App •  ERROR  •  UI  in ./node_modules/http-proxy-agent/dist/agent.js

Module not found: Can't resolve imported dependency "tls"
Did you forget to install it? You can run: yarn add tls

 App •  ERROR  •  UI  in ./node_modules/http-proxy-agent/dist/agent.js

Module not found: Can't resolve imported dependency "url"
Did you forget to install it? You can run: yarn add url

 App •  ERROR  •  UI  in ./node_modules/http-signature/lib/parser.js

Module not found: Can't resolve imported dependency "util"
Did you forget to install it? You can run: yarn add util

# and so and so on...

Then I tried to import the plugin directly:

import whatever from 'cordova-plugin-inappbrowser'

but apparently cordova plugins don't work that way:

 App •  ERROR  •  UI  in ./src/layouts/MainLayout.vue?vue&type=script&lang=js

Module not found: Can't resolve imported dependency "cordova-plugin-inappbrowser"
Did you forget to install it? You can run: yarn add cordova-plugin-inappbrowser


 App •  COMPILATION FAILED  • Please check the log above for details.

Well, that's it. Any help is appreciated.

P.S. No, capacitor's browser doesn't satisfy my needs. No, I don't wanna switch to cordova entirely.

Already figured out. Doesn't work in browser though... Well, thanks anyway. пт, 13 янв. 2023 г. в 19:58, Aldrin Marquez ***@***.***>:
