If you are developing an hybrid Cordova app that shares the same code in its desktop and mobile version, here is a little hack to know if the code is executed in Cordova.
Files in Cordova apps are served over file://, whereas website are served over http:// or https://.
You can access the current protocol using window.location.protocol. Here is a code snippet to test it :
import Vue from 'vue'
Vue.isCordova = window.location.protocol.match(/^file/)
Vue.extend(
created () {
if (this.isCordova) {
// Yes this is the Cordova version of your app
} else {
// This is the desktop version
}
}
)
Note : Electron apps are also served via file:// so if your app is also bundled with Electron, isCordova will be true.
