Ember & Capacitor

Build native mobile apps with web technology and Ember

01

Install Capacitor.

Add Capacitor to your project and create a config for your app

npm install @capacitor/core @capacitor/cli
npx cap init [name] [id] --web-dir=dist
02

Build the Web App.

The compiled web assets will be copied into each Capacitor native platform during the next step.

npm run build
03

Install the native platforms you want to target.

Capacitor's native projects exist in their own top-level folders and should be considered part of your app (check them into source control).

npm i @capacitor/ios @capacitor/android
npx cap add android
npx cap add ios

Adding calls to Native APIs

With Capacitor installed, adding calls to native device features is as straight forward as calling other JavaScript methods

import Component from '@glimmer/component';
import { tracked } from '@glimmer/tracking';
import { action } from '@ember/object';
import { Geolocation } from '@capacitor/geolocation';
export default class GeolocationComponent extends Component {
@tracked loc = null;
@action
async getCurrentPosition(){
const loc = await Geolocation.getCurrentPosition()
this.loc = loc
}
}

Continue your Capacitor Journey.
