Missing documentation how to use this with Typescript (ionic 2)

[RoelRoel]

Are there Typescript typings available?
Now i'm getting a lot of Property 'cordova' does not exist on type 'Window' errors when trying to call window.cordova.plugins.firebase.analytics.*

Use declare var window; after your imports and Typescript won't complain anymore about properties inside window.

@FdezRomero I use ionic 2 as well and have already followed your suggestion. When I build and emulate my project, there is no error. But if I run command ionic serve, it getting error like:
EXCEPTION: Uncaught (in promise): TypeError: Cannot read property 'plugins' of undefined

Please help.

@Cempakers87 that's because Cordova plugins normally don't run in the browser (there are a few exceptions).

It's good practice when you are using any plugin to check if the app is running in Cordova and that has initialized. Wrap your calls like this (assuming you already imported and injected Platform in the constructor):

if (this.platform.is('cordova')) {
  this.platform.ready().then(() => {
    // Put your plugin calls here
  });
}

You are probably aware, but this plugin has been added to Ionic Native, so typings are available if you add the Ionic Native plugin.
