Add Cordova plugin: how to activate

Remco Koffijberg

I added the Cordava plugin from Katzer for Local Push Notification as a zip via the Cordova Import Button. I can see it under ‘enabled’.

And then i added this sample code

document.addEventListener ("deviceready", onDeviceReady, false);

function onDeviceReady () {
            alert ('Cordova is ready!');
            cordova.plugins.notification.local.schedule({
        id: 10,
        title: "Meeting in 15 minutes!",
        text: "Jour fixe Produktionsbesprechung",
        at: tomorrow_at_8_45_am,
        data: { meetingId:"#123FG8" }
    });
            
        }

It does show the alert box.
The console says: Cannot read property ‘notification’ of undefined.

(Monaca says it is “installed when the application is built”. So i made a debug build, but it doesn’t work either.)

My question is what do i need to do to activate this plugin?

@Remco-Koffijberg Which toolchain are you using and do you have a paid developers account?

i don’t know what a toolchain is and my plan is: Annual Developer

I made it work in the download! This is great!!

Is it supposed to NOT work in Monaca itself? If so, then this question can be closed.

tx!

@Remco-Koffijberg Toolchain meaning are you using the Monaca Cloud IDE, LocalKit, or CLI - just so I would know what commands to send your way. As for the developer plan, I just wanted to make sure you could compile third party plugins - which you can. It should work in custom debugger, but either way you got it working, so great!

As @munsterlander said, it’s probably because you have used a third party plugin and haven’t built a new custom debugger. Nevertheless, this is an issue that occurs way too often, I’ll check how we can announce it to our users.
