Creating Cordova apps that include MobileFirst features

You can create a Cordova app that is enhanced with MobileFirst features in several ways.

In all cases, you use your preferred Cordova development tools such as the Apache Cordova command-line interface, the Ionic Framework, or IntelliJ to set up and work with your app. Then, you add the IBM MobileFirst™ Platform Foundation SDK and other MobileFirst features to your app in the form of Cordova plug-ins that support MobileFirst features.

You can accomplish this in any of the following ways:

When you initially create your Cordova app, specify to include the MobileFirst template.
Create a new Cordova app, and then add in the MobileFirst plug-ins.
Add the MobileFirst plug-ins to an existing Cordova app.
