Used Cordova plugins

In case that the required Cordova plugins are not installed while installing NodeJS dependencies, Cordova's command mentioned previously can be used to install the following plugins:

• cordova-plugin-device - This plugin defines a global device object, which describes the device's hardware and software.
• cordova-plugin-console - This plugin is meant to ensure that console.log() is as useful as it can be. It adds additional function for iOS, Ubuntu, Windows Phone 8, and Windows.
• com.ionic.keyboard - It provides functions to make interacting with the keyboard easier, and fires events to indicate that the keyboard will hide/show.
• cordova-plugin-inappbrowser - Provides a web browser view. It could be used to open images, access web pages, and open PDF files.
• cordova-plugin-geolocation - Grab the current location of the user, or grab continuous location changes
• nl.x-services.plugins.socialsharing - Share images, text, messages via Facebook, Twitter, Email, SMS, WhatsApp, etc using this plugin (https://github.com/EddyVerbruggen/SocialSharing-PhoneGap-Plugin.git).
• de.appplant.cordova.plugin.email-composer - The plugin provides access to the standard interface that manages the editing and sending an email message.
• cordova-plugin-network-information - This plugin provides an implementation of an old version of the Network Information API. It provides information about the device's cellular and wifi connection, and whether the device has an internet connection.
• cordova-plugin-whitelist - This plugin implements a whitelist policy for navigating the application webview on Cordova 4.0
• cordova-plugin-transport-security - Cordova / PhoneGap Plugin to allow 'Arbitrary Loads' by adding a declaration to the Info.plist file to bypass the iOS 9 App Transport Security
