In this chapter, we have seen what Cordova plugins are, and how they can be used in an existing Ionic app. We started off by setting up a local development environment for Android and iOS, and then we learned how to emulate and run an Ionic app. Next, we explored how to add Cordova plugins to an Ionic project and use them. Finally, with the aid of Ionic Native, we injected plugins in our Ionic app and worked with them.
In the next chapter, we are going to use the knowledge we have gained so far in building an app named Riderr. Using the public API exposed by Uber, we will be building an app using which a rider can book an Uber ride.
