How to install the Webview+ in your current project

Even though it's a cordova-compatible plugin, some steps must be done for the installation. If you prefer, you can install it automatically using the CocoonJS Command Line Interface. The cocoonjs-cli has the same usage and commands of cordova-cli.

Once the cocoonjs-cli is installed in your system, just type:

// Install Ludei's CLI
$ sudo npm install -g cocoonjs

$ cocoonjs create MyProject
$ cd MyProject
$ cocoonjs platform add ios
$ cocoonjs plugin add com.ludei.ios.webview.plus -d
$ cocoonjs run/emulate

The -d flag is used to activate the verbose mode.

Manual installation

Refer to the hook located at ios/hooks/install.js for the steps needed to install the Webview+ manually.
