Chapter 5. Installing Third-Party Components
NativeScript contains a wide range of built-in components. However, sometimes, you need things that are not built into the default NativeScript components. This is where a third-party plugin or component can come into play. A plugin can encompass any part of an application. It can be anything from simple JavaScript code that talks to the camera, to something much more complex, such as 3D charting. A plugin can be something as simple as a simple JavaScript code function or as complex as a combination of a JavaScript library and multiple compiled libraries for each specific platform.
In this chapter, we will cover the following topics:
- Places to find third-party components
- How to install a third-party component
- Using the third-party components in a cross communicator
