How do I use the ngCordova sqlite service and the Cordova-SQLitePlugin with Ionic Framework?
If someone still got an error when trying to run it in a browser, try this one:
if (window.cordova) { db = $cordovaSQLite.openDB({ name: "my.db" }); //device }else{ db = window.openDatabase("my.db", '1', 'my', 1024 * 1024 * 100); // browser }
So Turns out that it is because Cordova is platform specific and doesn't work when you run ionic serve
I was able to run the same code on an android device with out issue when I built and deployed.
Update
you can replace the cordova plugin with window to use the websql databasesso instead of sqlitePlugin.openDatabase() you can use window.openDatabase()
In Ionic 2, I am using the following code.
constructor(platform: Platform) {platform.ready().then(() => { if(platform.is("cordova")){ //USE Device } else { //USE Browser } StatusBar.styleDefault();});
