Add custom user defined Cordova plugin in ionic2 with typescript not working

I have created custom Cordova plugin. I want to use that plugin into ionic2 that uses typescript and angular 2. I am able to add the plugin into ionic 2 project. But call of methods defined in plugin .Java classes does't work. If class imported in following way: import Hello from '@ionic-native/hello';

It gives an error "Cannot find module '@ionic-native/hello'". Please let me know the way to use plugin in ionic 2.

Thanks,

Your own plugin is not part of ionic-native so you cannot import it from ionic-native. In your plugin.xml you should have a js-module element which looks something like this:

<js-module src="www/yourplugin.js" name="yourplugin">
  <clobbers target="window.plugins.yourplugin"/>
</js-module>

If you want to use this plugin you have to tell typescript that yourplugin will exist at runtime. You do this with this line of code: 

declare var yourplugin;

You have to add this line in every typescript class where you want to use your plugin at the same level as your imports.

The documentation for js-module and clobbers is available here.
