Can I create a folder in www directory via phonegap/cordova in IOS?

Question

I want to download some static webpage files(including .html/.css/.js/.png...) from server into my cordova based app, then users can browse them in webview. So I need to create folders in www/ directory, how can I achieve it?

Answer 1

Yes, you can. You can use window.requestFileSystem to obtain a reference to the local filesystem (which is the application data folder).

Here is the documentation page: http://docs.phonegap.com/en/3.0.0/cordova_file_file.md.html#LocalFileSystem

Example functions would be:

• directory.getFile
• filewriter.write(...)

You then can create directories in there as well. Like this for example:

fileSystem.getDirectory(dirName, {create:true}) 

etc. etc. ;)
