Ionic 2 - How do I use a cordova plugin that is not available in ionic native

Question

With the following command I installed a cordova plugin on my ionic2 project:

cordova plugin add cordova-plugin-rfduino

This plugin is not available in the Ionic Native. How can I use the plugin in an ionic page? Can I export it somehow?

Answer 1

I fixed it the following way:

0 - Install your plugin

1- npm install typings --global

2 - On typings/index.d.ts put the following code:

    interface Window {
       plugins: any;
    } 

3 - Then use the window the following way inside the page or component:

  constructor(platform: Platform) {
platform.ready().then(() => {


 var blabla = window['cordova_plugin_that_was_installed'].function();

   });
 }}
