Cordova plugins supported in Ionic?

Ionic Framework ionic-v3

@ming-cordova:
Thank you. I’ll try :slight_smile:

Precisions about the d.ts file :

In order to access to “window.plugins” with TypeScript you have to add a definition :

in :
typings/globals/window/index.d.ts

(create “window” folder and “index.d.ts” file)

and write in index.d.ts :

interface Window {
	plugins: any;
}

This allows you to use “window.plugins” with typescript.

I’ve tried that and didn’t work, maybe it depends of the plugin :confused:

@MASG, Did you try this method?

 success(results) {
     console.log(JSON.stringify(results));
 };
 err(e) {
     console.log(JSON.stringify(e));
 };
(window as any).WifiInfo.getWifiInfo(this.success,this.err);

This method helped me to use non ionic-native plugins in my project.
Let us know if this works!

yes, I have used google maps sdk, and SQL lite plugin and some others I don’t remember. Also external libraries like JQuery for SignalR and LokiJS. Everything JS work on this to be honest. You just have to declare it on a .d.ts file or just on the .js (or.ts) file you’re gonna use.

juste use (window).plugins instead of window.plugins :slight_smile:

Using (window as any).plugins worked for me :slight_smile:

are you running your app in the browser…if you most plugins wont run in the browser…Plugins mostly run on the emulator or real device
