Requires

Getting Started from Visual Studio Project Template

  • Create the Visual Studio Cordova Starter Template
    • Open the file templates\standalone\CordovaSolution.sln in Visual Studio
    • From the file menu, select 'Export Template...'
    • Choose template type 'Project template'
    • Give the exported template a name, ex. CordovaStarter-x.x.x will produce CordovaStarter-x.x.x.zip
  • Visual Studio will put a copy of CordovaStarter-x.x.x.zip in \My Documents\Visual Studio 2012\Templates\ProjectTemplates\
    • if you prefer, you may add the project instead to the "Silverlight for Windows Phone" subfolder of "Visual C#". This is up to you, and only affects where the project template is shown when creating a new project. Also, You may need to create this folder.
  • Launch Visual Studio 2012 and select to create a new project
    • CordovaStarter should be listed under Templates->Other Languages->Visual C#
    • Give your new project a name
      • Note: The description will let you know the version of Cordova you are targetting, if you have multiple templates.
    • If you do not see it, you may have to select the top level 'Visual C#' to see it or use the search box and type "Cordova"
  • Build and Run it!
