Error when adding a cordova plugin

I got errors when I try to add a cordova plugin to my ionic project , how can I fix that ?

I have cordova 7.0.1 and node 6.10.1

$ cordova plugin add https://github.com/jcjee/email-composer.git
Error: Failed to fetch plugin https://github.com/jcjee/email-composer.git 
via re          gistry.
Probably this is either a connection problem, or plugin spec is incorrect.
Check your connection and plugin name/version/URL.

Since Cordova CLI 7 all the plugins need a package.json file and that plugin does't have it.

You can use plugman to create the package.json easily

npm install -g plugman

plugman createpackagejson /path/to/your/plugin

It will prompt you to enter the plugin information that is not available on the existing plugin.xml

Then you can send a PR to the plugin author so other people doesn't have to do this
