how to add a plugin Cordova-vk in Ionic 3

I want to use this plugin in my app plugin cordova-vk

but I can't connect it to typescript.

vkSdk is not defined

I understand that it does not locate the plugin. He is in the node_modules folder. How do I connect it to my page? And use his methods.

I tried to prescribe

declare let cordovaVk : any;

but it didn't help. I know I'm doing something wrong. But I can't figure out what it was. I'm using the latest versions of Cordova and Ionic since I just started the project

According to the plugin.xml of the specified plugin:

 <js-module src="www/vksdk.js" name="VkSdk">
        <clobbers target="VkSdk" />
 </js-module>

The global variable is VkSdk.

In your ts file declare it immediately below the import statements.

declare var VkSdk:any;

Also while calling the plugin, make sure it is inside platform.ready()

this.platform.ready().then(()=>{
     VkSdk.init('123456');//from the plugin docs
})

Also Cordova plugins need to be tested in a device or emulator.. cordova is not supported in Ionic serve
