Dear Santa,

I have been very good this year!
For Christmas, I would like Cordova plugins for iOS and Android.

The following API functions would need to be implemented:
- csoundCreate()
- csoundDestroy()
- csoundCompileOrc()
- csoundStart()
- csoundStop()
- csoundReadScore()
- csoundSetOption()
As well as a method for running csound in a background thread.

I’ll be waiting for you with cookies and milk.

Sincerely,

What is cordova?

It's a cross platform framework for phone apps and such that uses
HTML5 instead of native UI toolkits. See
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apache_Cordova. It should be possible to
adapt csound.node, which I have already developed, to link with
Android Csound or iOS Csound to provide native Csound in a Cordova
app.

Regards,
Mike

Node.js is used as a development framework for Cordova applications, but is not embedded in the compiled app. Bindings must be written in native code (Java for Android, Objective C for iOS), so I am not sure if your C++ code can be reused. 

https://cordova.apache.org/docs/en/latest/guide/hybrid/plugins/index.html
https://cordova.apache.org/docs/en/latest/guide/platforms/ios/plugin.html
https://cordova.apache.org/docs/en/latest/guide/platforms/android/plugin.html

For some reason, I overlooked your csound.node project, and wasn’t even aware of the NW.js project, which is rather promising. I am currently using the Node.js addon for Csound (https://github.com/nwhetsell/csound-api) without GUI, but will try csound.node.

If we had Cordova plugins (with an API aligned to a Node.js addon — either yours or nwhetsell’s one), we could really do cross-platform development. The same JavaScript code could be deployed on desktop (Linux, OSX and Windows) and mobile (Android, iOS and even WP).

Regards,

Pierre
