npm Updates Search Experience with New Objective Sorting Options
npm has a revamped search experience with new, more transparent sorting options—Relevance, Downloads, Dependents, and Publish Date.
@capacitor/core
Advanced tools
@capacitor/core is a cross-platform native runtime for building web applications that run natively on iOS, Android, and the web. It provides a consistent API for accessing native device features and allows developers to write their application code once and deploy it across multiple platforms.
Accessing Device Information
This feature allows you to access detailed information about the device, such as the operating system, model, and manufacturer.
const { Device } = require('@capacitor/device');
async function getDeviceInfo() {
const info = await Device.getInfo();
console.log(info);
}
getDeviceInfo();
Geolocation
This feature allows you to access the device's current location using GPS and other location services.
const { Geolocation } = require('@capacitor/geolocation');
async function getCurrentPosition() {
const coordinates = await Geolocation.getCurrentPosition();
console.log('Current position:', coordinates);
}
getCurrentPosition();
Camera
This feature allows you to access the device's camera to take photos or capture video.
const { Camera, CameraResultType } = require('@capacitor/camera');
async function takePicture() {
const image = await Camera.getPhoto({
quality: 90,
allowEditing: false,
resultType: CameraResultType.Uri
});
console.log('Image URI:', image.webPath);
}
takePicture();
Storage
This feature allows you to store and retrieve data locally on the device.
const { Storage } = require('@capacitor/storage');
async function storeData() {
await Storage.set({ key: 'name', value: 'Capacitor' });
const { value } = await Storage.get({ key: 'name' });
console.log('Stored value:', value);
}
storeData();
Apache Cordova is a mobile application development framework that allows you to use standard web technologies such as HTML5, CSS3, and JavaScript for cross-platform development. It provides a set of plugins to access native device features, similar to @capacitor/core, but Capacitor offers a more modern API and better integration with modern web development practices.
React Native is a framework for building native apps using React. It allows you to write your application in JavaScript and render it using native components. While React Native provides a more native-like experience and performance, @capacitor/core allows you to use web technologies and provides a consistent API across platforms.
Flutter is a UI toolkit from Google for building natively compiled applications for mobile, web, and desktop from a single codebase. It uses the Dart programming language. While Flutter provides a rich set of pre-designed widgets and high performance, @capacitor/core allows you to leverage existing web development skills and libraries.
