Ionic/Cordova: How to install plugin into existing project?

Question

How do I install an additional Cordova plugin into an existing Ionic/Cordova project? I need the Cordova Camera Plugin. If I try:

cordova plugin add https://github.com/apache/cordova-plugin-camera.git

I get error:

Error: Command failed: fatal: could not create work tree dir .... No such file or directory.

Answer 1

You are doing the right thing but you have camera.git at the end. That is the problem. This is correct way of doing it! It worked for me.

$ cordova plugin add org.apache.cordova.camera

Answer 2

The best way to install cordova plugin in ionic by tapping these commands line :

$ionic cordova plugin add cordova-plugin-camera
$npm install --save @ionic-native/camera

Add the plugin in your module app here

And follow the instruction on the official documentation https://ionicframework.com/docs/native/camera/

Good luck :)
