I'm trying to find the best way to cache images on my Mobilefirst foundation app, my attempts to use any technique that involves Cordova plugins (Mainly File and File-Transfer plugins) has failed due to inability to install Cordova plugins.
Is there a way to install Cordova plugins work on MobileFirst app? If not is there an alternative way to cache images?
If you're still looking for a way to add 3rd party plugins to MobileFirst (pending a feature release) I've posted an unofficial how-to on Stack Overflow @ https://stackoverflow.com/a/29141973/1311413. Essentially I create a Cordova project, add the plugins and then merge the plugin files from MobileFirst with those from the Cordova project.
Cordova CLI is not supported at this time, so there is no easy way to integrate existing Cordova plug-ins. However there are many questions on this same issue with procedures to follow.
Another thing you can use is IBM MobileFirst Platform JSONStore - encode the image to base64 and then save that data in the store. When you need it, decode the string and use it where required.
