Cordovanderived

Cordovanderived is an informal adjective used to describe something that originates from Cordova or is built upon the Apache Cordova framework and its ecosystem. The term is not part of official Cordova documentation and is used in a descriptive sense; variants include cordovaderived and Cordova-derived.

In software contexts, cordovanderived typically refers to applications, plugins, or codebases that are created with or derived from Cordova. Cordova-derived apps run as hybrid mobile applications that use HTML, CSS, and JavaScript and are wrapped in a native container to run on multiple platforms such as Android and iOS; they rely on a plugin system to access native device features. Cordovaderived plugins are components designed to extend Cordova functionality and facilitate integration with native APIs.

In broader usage, cordovanderived can describe non-software artifacts with ties to Cordova’s ecosystem, such as educational templates, sample projects, or documentation derived from Cordova-based development practices. Because it is informal, the exact scope should be defined by the author when introducing the term.
