Sync assets in current version/release (without reloading)
Closed this issue · 8 comments
Problem
in UIWebview i used phonegap-content-sync to download images after app installation. But with WKWebview you can't access them, cause you can't go out of your approot/www. afaik.
So I could just not use WKWebview or find another solution to sync to assets. Or find a way to get your plugin doing this.
But at current state you would have to Reload the App only to show more/newer images witch is bad. So finding a way to download assets/images in the current webversion/release would be really cool.
Yeah, that can be a nice feature. Thanks for the suggestion!
I really needed to get this working. That's why I also tried to make the installUpdate with the option to not refresh. What turned out to be useless, because updated files are still in the wrong folder.
That's why I created my first plugin cordova-plugin-file-sync. which also compares file using a manifest.json but you can specifiy the local directory where it will be downloaded to.
And it defaults to:
file:///Users/pm/Library/Developer/CoreSimulator/Devices/<UDID>/data/Containers/Data/Application/<UDID>/Library/Application Support/cordova-plugin-file-sync/
Then you can use this path in for example a ng-src on an image and as soon as the file is downloaded and a digest whatever runs you will see the image, without reloading anything.
Made using swift 😈
So for me this issue is solved with my plugin, although it would be a lot nicer to just use one plugin.
Nice, good job :) But this will work only for images? Or js/css files as well?
every kind of file =)
But with js/css files, you have to find your own way how to reload/refresh them, since it just downloads them.
Nice, good job :)
Not really :( I can't access the synced assets because wkwebview is blocking it. Okey the plugin may still usable for others using UIWebview. But this is so bad for me :(
Ok no problem anymore if using wkwebview look into at this issue on driftyco's wkwebview. Spinning up a local webserver and serve the data container, gives access to all data from within WKWebview.
