Docs for Platform Customization should mention Merges #4302

Closed cfjedimaster closed 9 years ago

cfjedimaster commented 9 years ago

The docs here (http://ionicframework.com/docs/platform-customization/) discuss how Ionic lets you do customizations per platform. While it isn't Ionic-specific, I think it would be useful to mention the Merges feature here and link to the Cordova doc. (There isn't a great URL for that, but it can be found here: http://cordova.apache.org/docs/en/5.1.1/guide_cli_index.md.html#The%20Command-Line%20Interface)

@cfjedimaster Yes merges can be used, but it seems like it's take a bit of a back seat if I recall. Even creating a blank project with the cordova cli, they seemed to have removed the merges folder. Though the functionality is still there, is it going to be removed?

I haven't heard anything about it being removed. I kinda think its cool in that you don't modify your code to handle the different platforms, it just happens.

But I'll ask on the Cordova dev list.

I asked - no official plans to deprecate.

To be clear, I know it isn't a very well known feature, but I think a small mention would be nice. ;)

Sounds good, I'm moving this to ionic-site repo for now. The right place for this issue.
