What is the RudderStack Cordova SDK?
Apache Cordova is an open-source, cross-platform application development framework. The RudderStack Cordova SDK lets you track event data from your Cordova app and send it to your preferred destination platforms via RudderStack.

Getting started
To add the SDK as a dependency navigate to the root folder of your application and run the following command:
cordova plugin add rudder-sdk-cordova
Initialize RudderClient
Add the following code in the onDeviceReady()
function of your home page to initialize the SDK.
RudderClient.initialize( <WRITE_KEY> , {
"dataPlaneUrl": <DATA_PLANE_URL> ,
"trackLifecycleEvents": true,
"controlPlaneUrl": "https://api.rudderstack.com"
})
Send events
An example track
call is as below
RudderClient.track("test_track_event", {
"test_property_1" : "test_value_1"
});
Anonymous ID
You can use the setAnonymousId
method to override the default anonymousId
, as shown:
RudderClient.setAnonymousId("sampleAnonymousId");
- You need to call
setAnonymousId
method before calling initialize
Advertisement ID
RudderStack collects the advertisement ID if it is enabled by the user. To set the advertising ID yourself, you can use the setAdvertisingId
method as shown:
RudderClient.setAdvertisingId("SampleAdvertisingId")
Setting the device token
You can pass your device-token
for push notifications to be passed to the destinations which support the Push Notifications feature. RudderStack sets the token
under context.device.token
.
An example of setting the device-token
is as shown:
RudderClient.putDeviceToken("sampleDeviceToken");
