NSUserDefaults Plugin for App Groups

By: Protonet GmbH

Authors: Joschka Schulz

Adding the Plugin

Use the Cordova CLI and type in the following command:

cordova plugin add https://github.com/protonet/cordova-plugin-nsuserdefaults-for-app-groups.git

Description

If you like to share some variables between your main app and an share extension, you need to save your variables in a NSUserDefaults container. The NSUserData container can be shared between your both apps and hold all the data you want to transfer.

Please make sure you add the App Groups in the XCode Project for sharing the container between apps.

Sample Code

The Plugin is only for iOS.

Save in UserDefaults

var options = {
      key: "foo",
      value: "bar",
      suite: "group.cats.catsAreAwesome"};

window.AppGroupsUserDefaults.save(options,
  function() {
     // success
  }, function() {
    // failed
  });

Load from UserDefaults

var options = {
      key: "foo",
      suite: "group.cats.catsAreAwesome"};

window.AppGroupsUserDefaults.load(options,
  function(result) {
   // success
   console.log("Result:", result)
  }, function() {
    // failed
  });
