Cordova to Capacitor Migration

Create a new code branch.

Recommended, but not required.

Install Capacitor.

Create the Capacitor app using the Cordova app's name and id found in `config.xml`.

Build the Web App.

The compiled web assets will be copied into each Capacitor native platform during the next step.

Install the native platforms you want to target.

Capacitor native projects exist in their own top-level folders and should be considered part of your app (check them into source control). Any existing Cordova plugins are automatically installed into each native project. 🎉

Recreate Splash Screens and Icons.

Reuse the existing splash screen/icon images, located in the top-level `resources` folder of your Cordova project, using the `cordova-res` tool. Images are copied into each native project.

Audit existing Cordova plugins.

Review all of Capacitor's core and community plugins. You may be able to switch to the Capacitor-equivalent Cordova plugin, such as the Camera.

Remove unneeded ones to improve performance and reduce app size.

Remove Cordova from your project.

After successful migration testing, Cordova can be removed from the project.

Continue your Capacitor Journey.

This is only the beginning. Learn more about using Cordova plugins in a Capacitor project, check out the Capacitor development workflow, or create your own native plugin.
