tarifa

Your friendly toolchain for mobile app development on top of Apache Cordova

tarifa is a CLI on top of Apache Cordova. It aims at simplifying the Apache Cordova workflow and adding features to complete cordova toolchain such as:

• multiple configurations: produce multiple unique apps easily on a given platform within a single project.
• integration of any front-end build system: integrate your build process in the cordova workflow.
• interactive project bootstrap: no need to remember every required information while creating a project, tarifa will guide you with adequate questions and save the answers in the project files.
• deployment to hockeyapp from the terminal: no need to launch a browser to upload a binary file to hockeyapp, tarifa handles it.
