Accessing the Feature

As of version 3.0, Cordova implements device-level APIs as plugins. Use the CLI's plugin command, described in The Command-Line Interface, to add or remove this feature for a project:

    $ cordova plugin add org.apache.cordova.dialogs
    $ cordova plugin add org.apache.cordova.vibration
    $ cordova plugin ls
    [ 'org.apache.cordova.dialogs',
      'org.apache.cordova.vibration' ]
    $ cordova plugin rm org.apache.cordova.dialogs
    $ cordova plugin rm org.apache.cordova.vibration

These commands apply to all targeted platforms, but modify the platform-specific configuration settings described below:
