npm init @capacitor/plugin [<path>] [options]
📝 npm init <pkg>

You can also try the following methods to use this package:
npx @capacitor/create-plugin
yarn create @capacitor/plugin
npm install -g @capacitor/create-plugin && create-capacitor-plugin
As of the 0.8.0
release, example apps for testing are included when initializing a new plugin. To use these templates, you can open the npx cap open android
or npx cap open ios
command for Android and iOS respectively. Anything in the example-app
folder will be excluded when publishing to npm.
