How to use Cordova Microsoft Azure plugin in ionic 2

Hi I'm using Ionic 2 & Microsoft Azure to create a mobile app. I ran the command

ionic plugin add cordova-plugin-ms-azure-mobile-apps

I was supposed to be able to use Cordova plugins just the way I used in ionic 1. However, this isn't working:

client = new WindowsAzure.MobileServiceClient(this.appUrl);

I got an error message in VS 2015 saying that "Cannot find name WindowsAzure". What's the correct way to use Azure with Ionic 2?

The issue you have is that TypeScript compiler is not able to find a definition for WindowsAzure. You can either declare WindowsAzure in a .d.ts file like this

declare var bootbox: any;

or the better alternative is to use 'Definitly Typed' using this command in our source folder.

typings install dt~azuremobileservicesclient --global

Remember you need typings to be installed which is a node package

npm install typings --global

https://www.npmjs.com/package/typings

Note: the declaration you get from 'typings' is not guaranteed to match your Cordova plugin.
