Zone.js now (helpfully) throws an error on unhandled rejections in promises. This is great because they no longer silently fail, but we were relying on that behavior for the case where the plugin isn't installed or Cordova isn't available. With this change, those cases won't throw an unhandled rejection error, but all regular plugin errors still should.
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
