Working with non ionic-native plugins in Ionic 2

Question

I'm using a custom cordova plugin (https://github.com/VJAI/simple-crypto), not available in ionic native.

I'm using Ionic 2 and have installed the plugin using the command: cordova plugin add https://github.com/VJAI/simple-crypto

The interface is like this:

var rncryptor = cordova.require("com.disusered.simplecrypto.SimpleCrypto");

rncryptor.encrypt(key, data, successCallback, failureCallback)
rncryptor.decrypt(key, data, successCallback, failureCallback)`

Method 1:
I have tried to invoke the plugin using

window.plugins.SimpleCrypto.encrypt(...)

But when I run ionic serve, i get the error:

TypeError: Cannot read property 'SimpleCrypto' of undefined

Method 2:
Another way i tried was

cordova.plugins.SimpleCrypto.encrypt(...)

The error i got was

ReferenceError: cordova is not defined

Is there any way to go around doing this?

Answer 1

Have you tried to use

cordova.plugins.SimpleCrypto.encrypt 

function on your device?

It is working for my case. The reason being, the emulator is unable to run cordova.js
