Describe the bug

I installed the plugin, imported in angular controller, and try to follow the example from docs but I got the following erorrs: Error: Can't resolve 'cordova/exec' and Error: Can't resolve 'cordova/channel'

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Install the plugin: cordova plugin add cordova-background-geolocation-plugin
2. import it on angular component: import BackgroundGeolocation from 'cordova-background-geolocation-plugin';

3. try to start tracking / configure:

   platform.ready().then(() => {
   
     // refresh events on platform resume
     this.platform.resume.subscribe(() => {
       this.doRefresh(null);
     });
   
     BackgroundGeolocation.on('authorization', function(status) {
      console.log('[INFO] BackgroundGeolocation authorization status: ' + status);
      if (status !== BackgroundGeolocation.AUTHORIZED) {
        // we need to set delay or otherwise alert may not be shown
        setTimeout(function() {
          var showSettings = confirm('App requires location tracking permission. Would you like to open app settings?');
          if (showSettings) {
            return BackgroundGeolocation.showAppSettings();
          }
        }, 1000);
      }
    });
   
   });
   
   // BackgroundGeolocation.configure({
   //   locationProvider: BackgroundGeolocation.ACTIVITY_PROVIDER,
   //   desiredAccuracy: BackgroundGeolocation.HIGH_ACCURACY
   // });
   
   }

the error:

I don't think this is the right way to import this plugin. Try the following example https://github.com/IsraelHikingMap/Site/blob/015d6780a2f9c08440ef51f18231ed81147af638/IsraelHiking.Web/src/application/services/geo-location.service.ts
