IBM Worklight 6.1-如何为Windows 8 Store应用程序创建插件？

Question

I have tried to create a plug-in for Windows 8 Store without success...
Anybody created a plug-in for a Windows 8 Store app? If yes then please tell me steps to create it?

Answer 1

It is possible to write Windows 8 Store apps in several languages: C++, C#, or web technologies like HTML, JavaScript and CSS. These are then packaged and distributed to the Windows Store via the Visual Studio IDE.

In Worklight, the Windows 8 Store apps are written using web technologies.

• Developing Windows Store Apps with HTML5 Jump Start

Here, the notion of "plug-in" does not exist, because the underlying of the application is based on "web code" rather than "native code". Hence, the Windows 8 environment in Worklight does not support the creation of Cordova plug-ins (to interface with native libraries).

You can use Cordova APIs to access hardware features and alike.
You can also use the WinJS API provided by Microsoft:
