How to implement Cordova preferences?

Answer 1

You need to install and include ngCordova as well

http://ngcordova.com/docs/install/

Get the Source File

You can use bower to install ngCordova like so or download the zip file here, and locate the .js file in the dist folder:

$ bower install ngCordova

Include ng-cordova.js or ng-cordova.min.js in your index.html file before cordova.js and after your AngularJS / Ionic file (since ngCordova depends on AngularJS).

<script src="lib/ngCordova/dist/ng-cordova.js"></script>
<script src="cordova.js"></script>

Inject as an Angular dependency

Then, include ngCordova as a dependency in your angular module:

angular.module('myApp', ['ngCordova'])
