Description

Just reading the announcement at https://cordova.apache.org/announcements/2021/09/06/cordova-electron-release-3.0.0.html..

 Cordova Plugin Support
 In the earlier releases of Cordova Electron, we didn't have a proper plugin system in place.

Was there going to be some new documentation on how to use this?

eg I have an Ionic/Cordova application where I wish to add Electron (to take over from the disbanded Windows UWP), but I need to support plugins such as File, email, SQLite etc

Thankyou

I'll move this issue to the cordova-docs repo, we don't have documentation for electron specific plugins.

Just a brief notes on how electron platform will look for electron implementations in the plugin or falls back to the browser implementation if electron is missing.

but I need to support plugins such as File, email, SQLite etc

While the electron platform now supports plugins, our cordova-plugin-file does lack an electron implementation. Apache doesn't maintain any email or SQLite plugin, so you'll need to request electron support from their respective maintainers.
