Could more specific example given to use Cordova plugin directly?

Even we already had one guidance on integration with Cordova and listed how to add Cordova plugin directly. But it's still not clear how to ensure the plugin could be called successfully.

I'm using Meteor, Angular and Cordova plugin together and would like to build one page for barcode scan.

Pls check below code to call Cordova plugin. It seems that 'cordova' couldn't be found. angular.module("qrcode").controller("ScanInCtrl", ['$scope', '$collection', function($scope, $collection){ $scope.barcode = ''; $scope.scan = function(){ cordova.plugins.barcodeScanner.scan( function (result) { $scope.barcode = "Result: " + result.text + "\n" + "Format: " + result.format + "\n" + "Cancelled: " + result.cancelled; }, function (error) { alert("Scanning failed: " + error); } );

    };
  }
]);

John, did you figure this out? Is there a more robust example out there? I'm also having a problem accessing plugins via cordova.plugins.XXXX. I have a feeling I'm doing something dumb but I'd appreciate any insight.

I finally installed the plugin since it is registered already. Then I 'meteor run iOS', it would download the plugin and build it for iOS. If you run it in web browser, it won't work.

Thanks Johnson. just in case anyone runs into a similar problem, here is what I was doing wrong --

I was porting a cordova project to meteor, and in the original repo I was calling the AppPlant's emailComposer plugin via cordova.plugins.email. I needed to call it via window.plugin.email in Meteor (which is the way it is demonstrated at plugins.cordova.io) in order to access it.
