Can you please provide a few examples and/or links to the code that uses this plugin? This will make easier to understand the documentation and function usage.

The following is a skeleton of an app (e.g. the www/js/index.js, if created using cordova cli) that searches for a service using mDNS:

var app = {
    // Application Constructor
    initialize: function() {
        this.bindEvents();
    },
    // Bind Event Listeners
    //
    // Bind any events that are required on startup. Common events are:
    // 'load', 'deviceready', 'offline', and 'online'.
    bindEvents: function() {
        document.addEventListener('deviceready', this.onDeviceReady, false);
    },
    // deviceready Event Handler
    //
    // The scope of 'this' is the event. In order to call the 'receivedEvent'
    // function, we must explicity call 'app.receivedEvent(...);'
    onDeviceReady: function() {
        app.receivedEvent('deviceready');

        ZeroConf.watch('_http._tcp.local.', function(result) {
           // do something with the result
        });
    },
    // Update DOM on a Received Event
    receivedEvent: function(id) {
        var parentElement = document.getElementById(id);
        var listeningElement = parentElement.querySelector('.listening');
        var receivedElement = parentElement.querySelector('.received');

        listeningElement.setAttribute('style', 'display:none;');
        receivedElement.setAttribute('style', 'display:block;');

        console.log('Received Event: ' + id);
    }
};

Basically, the plugin functionality is exposed via the ZeroConf object. Be sure to access it after the deviceready event is fired.

Should something (i.e. ZeroConf object) be included somewhere, since I am getting the error: Uncaught ReferenceError: ZeroConf is not defined

[vstirbu]

You must handle the plugin using the cordova cli workflow.

This way the ZeroConf will be included automatically.
