2. Install the plugin into your app

For “vanilla” Cordova app

cordova plugin add cordova-plugin-malwarelytics

For the Ionic Cordova app

ionic cordova plugin add cordova-plugin-malwarelytics

3. Initialize and use the plugin

In your app js or ts file, you can now access window.plugins.malwarelytics property.

Initialize the plugin:

async initializeMalwarelytics() {
    try {
        // example configuration
        await window.plugins.malwarelytics.initialize({
            androidConfig: {
                languageCode: "en",
                antivirus: {
                    enableSilentMode: false
                },
                rasp: {
                    exitOnRoot: true
                }
            },
            appleConfig: {
                rasp: {
                    debugger: {
                        action: "EXIT",
                        exitUrl: "https://wultra.com"
                    }
                }
            }
        });
        console.log("initialized");
    } catch (error) {
        console.log(error);        
    }
}

Typescript support

In case you’re using TypeScript to build the app, there is a Malwarelytics.d.ts definition file in the package. You can reference it in your file and use it as follow:

/// <reference path="../../plugins/cordova-plugin-malwarelytics/www/MalwarelyticsPlugin.d.ts"/>

declare interface Window {
    plugins: {
        malwarelytics: MalwarelyticsPlugin;
    }
}

// now you can use window.plugins.malwarelytics with autocompletion
