Hi, Can you provide documentation for how to integrate the plugin in Ionic 3/4? It would help a lot! Thanks!

@hanatharesh2712 Have you been able to use this with Ionic 4? We're looking at adding it into our project, but we don't want to spin our wheels if it's not ready for primetime.

@colonelpopcorn I am using this plugin with Ionic 3. but, I haven't tried this with Ionic 4. Thanks!

I was able to follow Twilio's Cordova example to get the basics working. It's not exactly necessary to use the plugin since it's all just JavaScript in the repository. npm install -P twilio-chat will allow you to import it into your ionic app. I did have to patch the twilsock package with a check for window instead of global not sure if what I did was correct, but it works.

@chakri3130 You can add the npm package and initialize Twilio client like this: public Twilio: any = (<any>window).TwilioChat;

and then you can perform all the operations. You can find a reference from this ionic app. https://github.com/ASASCED/koomkin-app/blob/7f79bae9cda12870d1edbb957fea67de1d7498d2/src/providers/chat-service/chat-service.ts

the Cordova plugin should provide an offline feature. so, we can send and receive messages when the user goes online.
