Ionic Native

Ionic Native is a curated set of wrappers for Cordova plugins that make adding any native functionality you need to your Ionic, Cordova, or Web View mobile app easy.

Promises and Observables

Ionic Native wraps plugin callbacks in a Promise or Observable, providing a common interface for all plugins and ensuring that native events trigger change detection in Angular 2.

import {Geolocation} from 'ionic-native';

Geolocation.getCurrentPosition().then(pos => { 
  console.log('lat: ' + pos.coords.latitude + ', lon: ' + pos.coords.longitude);
});

let watch = Geolocation.watchPosition();
watch.subscribe(pos => {
  console.log('lat: ' + pos.coords.latitude + ', lon: ' + pos.coords.longitude);
});

// to stop watching
watch.unsubscribe();

Runtime Diagnostics

Spent way too long diagnosing an issue only to realize a plugin wasn't firing or installed? Ionic Native lets you know what the issue is and how you can resolve it.

Installation

Run following commmand to install ionic-native in your project.
