How to inject on Angular an ionic plugin that is not from ngCordova

in my ionic app I want to use cordova-plugin-video-editor plugin but I don't know how to inject it on my controller.

I added the plugin on the terminal like this:

ionic plugin add https://github.com/jbavari/cordova-plugin-video-editor.git

And it is injected with the controller like this (last one):

.controller('VideoCtrl', ['$scope', '$ionicPlatform', '$ionicModal', '$cordovaDialogs', '$cordovaCapture', '$cordovaFileTransfer', '$sce', 'VideoService', '$q', '$http', '$ionicScrollDelegate', '$timeout', '$location', 'VideoEditor', function ($scope, $ionicPlatform, $ionicModal, $cordovaDialogs, $cordovaCapture, $cordovaFileTransfer, $sce, VideoService, $q, $http, $ionicScrollDelegate, $timeout, $location, VideoEditor) {

I get this error:

Uncaught Error: [$injector:modulerr] Failed to instantiate module starter due to:
Error: [$injector:modulerr] Failed to instantiate module starter.controllers due to:
Error: [$injector:modulerr] Failed to instantiate module VideoEditor due to:
Error: [$injector:nomod] Module 'VideoEditor' is not available! You either misspelled the module name or forgot to load it. If registering a module ensure that you specify the dependencies as the second argument.

I am confused, I am using more plugins but all are official and I didn't have problems as I only had to do:

angular.module('starter.controllers', ['ngCordova'])

And in the html

<script src="lib/ngCordova/dist/ng-cordova.js"></script>

Inside plugin folder there is a js file that has:

var exec = require('cordova/exec'),
    pluginName = 'VideoEditor';

function VideoEditor() {
}

VideoEditor.prototype.transcodeVideo = function(success, error, options) {
    exec(success, error, pluginName, 'transcodeVideo', [options]);
};

VideoEditor.prototype.createThumbnail = function(success, error, options) {
    exec(success, error, pluginName, 'createThumbnail', [options]);
};

module.exports = new VideoEditor();

When I install the plugin should not this js content had gone somewhere in my www folder so then I can imported from html?

Remove the VideoEditor module in your controller configuration. because this VideoEditor have not any relation with angular.

Also you need refer the github document. They use it just like a jquery plugins. not a angular plugins. Does make sense? let me know, if not.

How do I implement it in Angular controller?

You can use it just like a javascript library.
