How to register a local Ionic Capacitor plugin

Question

I am working on a private capacitor plugin for android and ios but the official guide finished by saying upload to npm to use your plugin, I do not want to upload it to a publicly available resource.

How do you register a local capacitor plugin for both ios/android

Answer 1

You dont need to publish on npm to install it. You could do "npm pack" on your plugin folder and later on your app folder "npm install ../my-package/my-package-0.0.1.tgz"
