------------------------------------
Summary: Plugins should be notified after deviceready event has
been fired
Key: CB-9661
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CB-9661
Project: Apache Cordova
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: Plugins
Affects Versions: 5.1.1
Reporter: Sebastien Lorber
I use the Intercom plugin.
It is a plugin that shows a little button at the bottom (that we'll call
"widget") that permits to show a native chat panel when the user wants to give
a feedback for our app.
On startup I run something akin to:
{code}
function deviceReady() {
hideSplashScreen();
if ( isUserConnected() ) {
intercom.registerIdentifiedUser(userIntercomData);
startApp();
}
else {
intercom.reset();
showLoginForm();
}
}
{code}
The widget is only shawn after calling intercom.registerIdentifiedUser();
The widget disappear when we call intercom.reset();
The intercom plugin memoizes the fact that an user is registered over time.
This means that if I kill the app with a registered user, and restart it,
Intercom will by default restore that regitered user on next startup.
Unfortunatly, this means that the widget will be shawn at the very beginning of
the app initialization, even before the webview is initialized. In my case, it
means that the Intercom button will be shawn for a little amount of time above
the splash screen, which is a bit weird.
This would make sense for the Intercom team to not show the widget until the
webview is initialized, particularly waiting for deviceready event to fire.
After discussing with the Intercom team, it seems they can't implement this
because there's no possible way to wait for the deviceready event to fire from
the native plugin code.
So I think it could be nice to be able, from the native plugin code, to wait
for the deviceready event to be handled, so that native code can be started
afterwards.
