The repo now contains a backward-compatible wrapper meta-plugin that installs all cordova-plugin-firebasex modular plugins.

---

DEPRECATED

As of v20, this original monolithic FirebaseX plugin is deprecated in favour the new modular plugin architecture.

---

Modular Plugins

• cordova-plugin-firebasex-core - Firebase initialization, config file handling
• cordova-plugin-firebasex-analytics - Firebase Analytics
• cordova-plugin-firebasex-auth - Firebase Authentication
• cordova-plugin-firebasex-config - Firebase Remote Config
• cordova-plugin-firebasex-crashlytics - Firebase Crashlytics
• cordova-plugin-firebasex-firestore - Firebase Firestore
• cordova-plugin-firebasex-functions - Firebase Cloud Functions
• cordova-plugin-firebasex-inappmessaging - Firebase In-App Messaging
• cordova-plugin-firebasex-messaging - Firebase Cloud Messaging
• cordova-plugin-firebasex-performance - Firebase Performance Monitoring

You are encouraged to migrate to the new modular plugins for better performance, smaller app size, and more flexible dependency management.

If you wish to use this monolithic version of the plugin, you can still install it as cordova-plugin-firebasex@19 - see the legacy documentation for details on the API and plugin variables of the monolithic plugin. However there will be no further updates or fixes to this monolithic plugin.

Installation

cordova plugin add cordova-plugin-firebasex@latest

This installs all of the above modular plugins and re-exports their APIs under the unified FirebasePlugin global, maintaining backward compatibility with the original monolithic plugin.

On iOS, cordova-ios@8+ uses Swift Package Manager for the Firebase SDK dependencies exposed by the modular plugins. No Podfile or pod install step is required on that path, and you should open the generated App.xcodeproj in Xcode. cordova-ios@7.x continues to use the retained CocoaPods fallback.

Migration to Modular Plugins

See the migration guide for more details on migrating to the new modular plugins and how to manage plugin variables in the new architecture.

API

When using this wrapper, all methods are available on the FirebasePlugin global, maintaining full backward compatibility with the monolithic plugin.

// Same API as before
FirebasePlugin.getToken(function(token) {
    console.log("FCM token: " + token);
});

Plugin variables

This wrapper plugin re-exports all plugin variables as defined for the original monolithic plugin, and passes them through to the modular plugins. This means that all plugin variables defined in your config.xml/package.json for the original monolithic plugin will still be picked up and applied to the relevant modular plugins.

On iOS, the shared IOS_FIREBASE_SDK_VERSION, IOS_GOOGLE_TAG_MANAGER_VERSION, and IOS_GOOGLE_SIGIN_VERSION values now drive Swift Package Manager manifests for cordova-ios@8+. IOS_USE_PRECOMPILED_FIRESTORE_POD only affects the CocoaPods fallback path and is ignored when Swift Package Manager is active.
