Cordova Installation Steps

Installation

Open the command line and navigate to your project directory. Then run the following command.

cordova plugin add https://github.com/Instabug/instabug-cordova

Using Instabug

iOS

To start using Instabug, you will need to initialize the SDK in your app. This can be done through the activate method. It takes as your app token as a parameter, your selected invocation event, and a range of optional parameters. It also takes two callback functions, one for success and another one in case of failure.

Invocation Event

Using this parameter, you specify how your users will show the SDK to send you a report. For more details, see the Showing Instabug section.

Like the app token, the value itself can be provided, or you can give an object with values according to platforms.

Optional Parameters

A third parameter is an optional object containing properties to set a variety of configurations.
Here is a sample showing how to use Instabug.

cordova.plugins.instabug.activate(
    {
        ios: 'MY_IOS_TOKEN'
    },
    'shake',
    {
        commentRequired: true,
        colorTheme: 'dark'
    },
    function () {
        console.log('Instabug initialized.');
    },
    function (error) {
        console.log('Instabug could not be initialized - ' + error);
    }
);

Android

To start using the SDK in your Android app, follow these steps:

1. Change the name of the application class in your AndroidManifest.xml file to android:name="com.instabug.cordova.plugin.MyApplication"
2. Then, you only need to add your app token in the MyApplication class, by replacing YOUR_ANDROID_TOKEN with your app token.

Your builder method should look like this:

@Override
public void onCreate(){
	new Instabug.Builder(
        this,
        "INSTABUG_TOKEN",
        InstabugInvocationEvent.SHAKE
	).build();
}

You can find your app token by selecting SDK Integration in the Settings menu from your Instabug dashboard.
