Cordova Plugin not working in Vuex files

@tc

a bit hard to solve this one without more code.

Created the module in scr/native/localstore.js for cordova-plugin-secure-storage-echo related actions:

var ss = new cordova.plugins.SecureStorage(
    function() {
      console.log("Success");
    },
    function(error) {
      console.log("Error " + error);
    },
    "mystore"
);

async function saveData(key, val){
    return new Promise(function(resolve, reject) {
        ss.set(
                function(key) {
                    resolve(true)
                },
                function(error) {
                    reject('set error', error)
                },
                key,
                val
        )
    })
}
async function getData(key){
    return new Promise(function(resolve, reject) {
        ss.get(
            function(value) {              
                resolve(value)
            },
            function(error) {
                reject(error)
            },
            key
        )
    })
}
export { saveData,getData, removeData}

So I gonna use it in my store/user module. In my store/user/state.js :

import { getData } from '../../native/sstore-echo'
let utoken = getData('usertoken').then(data =>{
        return data
    })
export default function () {
  return {
     token : utoken
  }
}

Then I will get this error Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property 'SecureStorage' of undefined

However, when I use the Secure Storage in the components, it works without any error.

Hope this clarify out.

@tc

when you do get the error? When you call the saveData/getData in in state.js?

could you post the output of (2x when it works and when it does not):

1. console.log(cordova)
2. console.log(cordova.plugins)
3. console.log(window.cordova)
4. console.log(window.cordova.plugins)

[tc]

@dobbel The complete error is :

localstore.js?f8cc:1 Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property 'SecureStorage' of undefined
    at eval (localstore.js?f8cc:1)
    at Module../src/native/localstore.js (app.js:1208)
    at __webpack_require__ (app.js:854)
    at fn (app.js:151)
    at eval (state.js?b496:1)
    at Module../src/store/user/state.js (app.js:1304)
    at __webpack_require__ (app.js:854)
    at fn (app.js:151)
    at eval (index.js?7e21:1)
    at Module../src/store/user/index.js

So I put these console log in the top of localstore.js

console.log('cordova', cordova)
console.log('cordova plugin', cordova.plugins)
console.log('window cordova', window.cordova)
console.log('window cordova plugin', window.cordova.plugins)

And the results:

cordova {version: "8.1.0", platformVersion: "8.1.0", platformId: "android", define: ƒ, require: ƒ, …}
localstore.js?f8cc:2 cordova plugin undefined
localstore.js?f8cc:3 window cordova {version: "8.1.0", platformVersion: "8.1.0", platformId: "android", define: ƒ, require: ƒ, …}
localstore.js?f8cc:4 window cordova plugin undefined

Working console log:

cordova {version: "8.1.0", platformVersion: "8.1.0", platformId: "android", define: ƒ, require: ƒ, …}
localstore.js?f8cc:2 cordova plugin {SecureStorage: ƒ}
localstore.js?f8cc:3 window cordova {version: "8.1.0", platformVersion: "8.1.0", platformId: "android", define: ƒ, require: ƒ, …}
localstore.js?f8cc:4 window cordova plugin {SecureStorage: ƒ}

Seem it is not firing the cordova plugin.
Further checking on the browser console, I did see this:

deviceready has not fired after 5 seconds.
cordova.js:1226 Channel not fired: onPluginsReady
cordova.js:1226 Channel not fired: onCordovaReady

Don’t know what caused this.

@tc

can you post the quasar info output. btw are you using IOS or android ?

[metalsadman]

@tc you can’t instantiate it after deviceready event says here https://github.com/mibrito707/cordova-plugin-secure-storage-echo#faq. what you could do is instantiate it somewhere like App.vue, and assign it to a vue prototype that you can use globally, make an empty one via boot as a placeholder for later.

I tried with boot file and also in App.vue to instantiate it. But still not working, the cordova plugin instance is not fired. I put this console.log('cordova plugin', cordova.plugins) into state.js, give me undefined.

Seem like Vuex loaded before cordova plugin??

[dobbel]

@tc

assign it to a vue prototype that you can use globally.

Did you try this?

[tc]

@dobbel Yes, I even added it to the window scope.
Problem more likely the priority of loading the plugin.
When the quasar start, it tend to loaded the vuex store before cordova plugin did, hence it will get undefined in state.js .
