How can I use an ionic plugin in a Web Worker? Specifically, org.apache.cordova.contacts if that helps.
Inspired by “http://stackoverflow.com/questions/26668430/is-it-possible-to-run-angular-in-a-web-worker” I’m trying to do:
self.window = self;
self.window.Event = function() {};
self.window.innerHeight = 1;
self.history = {};
self.document = {
readyState: 'complete',
addEventListener: function() {},
querySelector: function() {},
getElementsByTagName: function() {
return [];
},
createElement: function() {
return {
pathname: '',
setAttribute: function() {}
};
},
createEvent: function() {
return {
initEvent: function() {}
};
},
documentElement: {
style: {
transition: ''
}
},
head: {
children: [],
appendChild: function(child) {
importScripts('../../' + child.src);
child.onload();
}
},
body: {
classList: {
add: function() {},
}
},
};
importScripts('../../lib.js');
importScripts('../../cordova.js');
This gets it to load, but navigator.contacts.find is undefined after running that. 
Is there an easier way? My end goal is to ingest the phone’s contacts asynchronously.
(I need to do this because navigator.contacts.find() is a blocking call and to download the whole contact list is taking around 1 minute).
