isInstalled

[mlynch]

Right now installed is not shipped as part of any typing for plugins, despite being available on every plugin. This makes it impossible to quickly check if a plugin is installed w/o doing something like Camera['installed']()

Either add this as a type, or export an isInstalled function that takes the class as an arg:

isInstalled(Camera)

How about creating a base interface with optional methods/properties. Then make all plugins implement it. Nevermind, this doesn't work.

export interface IPlugin {
  /**
   * Checks if plugin is installed
   */
  installed?(): boolean;
  pluginName?: string;
  plugin?: string;
  pluginRef?: string;
  repo?: string;
  platforms?: string[];
}

export class Camera implements IPlugin { ... }

I see you closed the related issue, but I haven't been able to find any documentation on how to actually use this. What I am trying to really get to is dynamically being able to see if the plugin is installed on a given platform without having to know before hand if that platform is supported.

Figured it out...
