Core Concepts

Capacitor is a cross-platform native runtime for building web apps that run natively on iOS, Android, and the web. The web app runs in a native WebView, and Capacitor provides a bridge to native APIs via plugins.

Architecture

A Capacitor app has three layers:

Web layer -- HTML/CSS/JS app running inside a native WebView (WKWebView on iOS, Android System WebView on Android).
Native bridge -- Serializes JS plugin calls, routes them to native code, and returns results as Promises.
Native layer -- Swift/ObjC (iOS) and Kotlin/Java (Android) code implementing native functionality.

Data passed across the bridge must be JSON-serializable. Pass files as paths, not base64.

Project Structure

my-app/
  android/                  # Native Android project (committed to VCS)
  ios/                      # Native iOS project (committed to VCS)
    App/
      App/                  # iOS app source files
      App.xcodeproj/
  src/                      # Web app source code
  dist/ or www/ or build/   # Built web assets
  capacitor.config.ts       # Capacitor configuration
  package.json

The android/ and ios/ directories are full native projects -- they are committed to version control and can be modified directly.

Capacitor Config

capacitor.config.ts (preferred) or capacitor.config.json controls app behavior:

import type { CapacitorConfig } from '@capacitor/cli';

const config: CapacitorConfig = {
  appId: 'com.example.app',
  appName: 'My App',
  webDir: 'dist',
  server: {
    // androidScheme: 'https', // default in Cap 6+
  },
};

export default config;

For details, see App Configuration.

Creating a New App

Quick Start

# 1. Create a web app (React example with Vite)
npm create vite@latest my-app -- --template react-ts
cd my-app && npm install

# 2. Install Capacitor
npm install @capacitor/core
npm install -D @capacitor/cli

# 3. Initialize Capacitor
npx cap init "My App" com.example.myapp --web-dir dist

# 4. Build web assets
npm run build

# 5. Add platforms
npm install @capacitor/android @capacitor/ios
npx cap add android
npx cap add ios

# 6. Sync and run
npx cap sync
npx cap run android
npx cap run ios

Web asset directories by framework:

Angular: dist/<project-name>/browser (Angular 17+ with application builder)
React (Vite): dist
Vue (Vite): dist
Vanilla: www

For the full guided creation flow, see capacitor-app-creation.

Capacitor CLI

All commands: npx cap <command>. Most important commands:

Command	Purpose
`npx cap init <name> <id>`	Initialize Capacitor in a project
`npx cap add <platform>`	Add Android or iOS platform
`npx cap sync`	Copy web assets + update native dependencies (run after every plugin install, config change, or web build)
`npx cap copy`	Copy web assets only (faster, no native dependency update)
`npx cap run <platform>`	Build, sync, and deploy to device/emulator
`npx cap run <platform> -l --external`	Run with live reload
`npx cap open <platform>`	Open native project in IDE
`npx cap build <platform>`	Build native project
`npx cap doctor`	Diagnose configuration issues
`npx cap ls`	List installed plugins

For the full CLI reference, see CLI Reference.

Framework Integration

Capacitor works with any web framework. Framework-specific patterns:

Angular

Wrap Capacitor plugins in Angular services for DI and testability.
Plugin event listeners run outside NgZone -- always wrap callbacks in NgZone.run().
Register listeners in ngOnInit, remove in ngOnDestroy.

For details, see capacitor-angular.

React

Create custom hooks (useCamera, useNetwork) that wrap Capacitor plugins.
Use useEffect for listener registration with cleanup to prevent memory leaks.
React 18 strict mode double-mounts -- ensure cleanup functions work correctly.

For details, see capacitor-react.

Vue

Create composables (useCamera, useNetwork) using Vue 3 Composition API.
Register listeners in onMounted, remove in onUnmounted.
Vue reactivity picks up ref changes automatically (no NgZone equivalent needed).

For details, see capacitor-vue.

Plugins

Plugins are Capacitor's extension mechanism. Each plugin exposes a JS API backed by native implementations.

Plugin Sources

Official (@capacitor/*) -- Camera, Filesystem, Geolocation, Preferences, etc.
Capawesome (@capawesome/*, @capawesome-team/*) -- SQLite, NFC, Biometrics, Live Update, etc.
Community (@capacitor-community/*) -- AdMob, BLE, SQLite, Stripe, etc.
Firebase (@capacitor-firebase/*) -- Analytics, Auth, Messaging, Firestore, etc.
MLKit (@capacitor-mlkit/*) -- Barcode scanning, face detection, translation.
RevenueCat (@revenuecat/purchases-capacitor) -- In-app purchases.

Installing a Plugin

npm install @capacitor/camera
npx cap sync

After installation, apply any required platform configuration (permissions in AndroidManifest.xml, Info.plist entries, etc.) as documented by the plugin.

Using a Plugin

import { Camera, CameraResultType } from '@capacitor/camera';

const photo = await Camera.getPhoto({
  quality: 90,
  resultType: CameraResultType.Uri,
});

For the full plugin index (160+ plugins) and setup guides, see capacitor-plugins.

Plugin Development

Create custom Capacitor plugins with native iOS (Swift) and Android (Java/Kotlin) implementations:

Scaffold with npm init @capacitor/plugin@latest.
Define the TypeScript API in src/definitions.ts.
Implement the web layer in src/web.ts.
Implement iOS plugin in ios/Sources/.
Implement Android plugin in android/src/main/java/.
Verify with npm run verify.

Key rules:

The registerPlugin() name in src/index.ts must match jsName on iOS and @CapacitorPlugin(name = "...") on Android.
iOS methods need @objc and must be listed in pluginMethods (CAPBridgedPlugin).
Android methods need @PluginMethod() annotation and must be public.

For full details, see capacitor-plugin-development.

Cross-Platform Best Practices

Platform Detection

import { Capacitor } from '@capacitor/core';

const platform = Capacitor.getPlatform(); // 'android' | 'ios' | 'web'
if (Capacitor.isNativePlatform()) { /* native-only code */ }
if (Capacitor.isPluginAvailable('Camera')) { /* plugin available */ }

Permissions

Follow the check-then-request pattern:

const status = await Camera.checkPermissions();
if (status.camera !== 'granted') {
  const requested = await Camera.requestPermissions();
  if (requested.camera === 'denied') {
    // Guide user to app settings -- cannot re-request on iOS
    return;
  }
}
const photo = await Camera.getPhoto({ ... });

Performance

Minimize bridge calls -- batch operations instead of many individual calls.
Use file paths over base64 for binary data.
Lazy-load plugins with dynamic imports for code splitting.

Error Handling

Always wrap plugin calls in try-catch:

try {
  const photo = await Camera.getPhoto({ resultType: CameraResultType.Uri });
} catch (error) {
  if (error.message === 'User cancelled photos app') {
    // Not an error
  } else {
    console.error('Camera error:', error);
  }
}

For full details, see Cross-Platform Best Practices.

Deep Links

Deep links open specific content in the app from external URLs.

iOS: Universal Links via apple-app-site-association hosted at https://<domain>/.well-known/.
Android: App Links via assetlinks.json hosted at https://<domain>/.well-known/.

Listener Setup

import { App } from '@capacitor/app';

App.addListener('appUrlOpen', (event) => {
  const path = new URL(event.url).pathname;
  // Route to the appropriate page
});

Platform Configuration

iOS: Add applinks:<domain> to Associated Domains capability in ios/App/App/App.entitlements.
Android: Add <intent-filter android:autoVerify="true"> to android/app/src/main/AndroidManifest.xml.

For full setup, see Deep Links.

Storage

Requirement	Solution
App settings, preferences	`@capacitor/preferences` (native key-value, persists reliably)
Sensitive data (tokens, credentials)	`@capawesome-team/capacitor-secure-preferences` (Keychain/Keystore)
Relational data, offline-first	SQLite (`@capawesome-team/capacitor-sqlite` or `@capacitor-community/sqlite`)
Files, images, documents	`@capacitor/filesystem`

Do NOT use localStorage, IndexedDB, or cookies for persistent data -- the OS can evict them (especially on iOS).

For details, see Storage.

Security

Never embed secrets (API keys with write access, OAuth secrets, DB credentials) in client code -- move to a server API.
Use secure storage (@capawesome-team/capacitor-secure-preferences) for tokens and credentials, not localStorage or @capacitor/preferences.
HTTPS only -- never allow cleartext HTTP in production.
Content Security Policy -- add a <meta> CSP tag in index.html.
Disable WebView debugging in production: set webContentsDebuggingEnabled: false in `capa

A Capacitor app has three layers:

1. **Web layer** -- HTML/CSS/JS app running inside a native WebView (WKWebView on iOS, Android System WebView on Android).
2. **Native bridge** -- Serializes JS plugin calls, routes them to native code, and returns results as Promises.
3. **Native layer** -- Swift/ObjC (iOS) and Kotlin/Java (Android) code implementing native functionality.

Data passed across the bridge must be JSON-serializable. Pass files as paths, not base64.
