How to integrate API.AI to Ionic

Ionic Framework ionic-v3
1

Hi,

I’m new to Ionic and API.AI. I’m following this guide to integrate API.AI and Ionic:
https://www.npmjs.com/package/cordova-plugin-apiai

On the first part, it mentioned:
Add to your index.js file (typically in js folder) in function onDeviceReady following code

ApiAIPlugin.init(
        {
            clientAccessToken: "YOUR_CLIENT_ACCESS_TOKEN", // insert your client access key here 
            lang: "en" // set lang tag from list of supported languages 
        }, 
        function(result) { /* success processing */ },
        function(error) { /* error processing */ }
    );

There’s no index.js file in Ionic. Can someone guide me where I need to put this?

Thanks

I also search for the function onDeviceReady on Ionic and they are only on plugins/node_modules directory.

Anyone can help?

That would probably be platform.ready().then(() => { ... } (equivalent to onDeviceReady) inside the constructor function in app.component.ts (equivalent to index.js).
