ionic v4+Native: `photoLibrary.getLibrary()` returns undefined

[mixuala]

I'm not sure where to log this bug, but here it is. The cordova plugin works fine, but not through Ionic Native, "@ionic-native/photo-library": "^5.0.0-beta.21"

for the moment, I'm using the cordova plugin directly, not through Ionic Native.

found the problem, not sure how to get it fixed officially. But IonicNative PhotoLibrary.getLibrary() has the wrong interface.

Somebody asked for a hack to use the cordova plugin directly, and here it is:

import { PhotoLibraryCordova } from 'cordova-plugin-photo-library/PhotoLibrary';

class MyClass {
constructor(
  protected platform: Platform,
) {
  this.platform.ready().then( () => {
      if (typeof cordova != 'undefined')
        this.photoLibraryCordova = cordova.plugins['photoLibrary'] as PhotoLibraryCordova.Plugin;
  });
}
}
