Support cordova-electron platform

[brodycj]

This would likely be more future-proof on Windows since cordova-windows is not supported by Visual Studio 2019 (see apache/cordova-windows#327).

May be part of a redesign (#548) with a new, simpler API (#862).

I'm interested in trying to use this plugin in a Cordova Electron environment. Any idea on timeline for this enhancement? Thanks a ton.

Any progress here?

This would likely have to come based on the redesign discussed in #862. Every additional feature would have an effect on the needed investment.

Please have a look here #960 and let me know your opinions.

Good to see some others have interest here. In the new year I need work out what to do with my UWP Ionic, as it is holding me back on being able to upgrade Ionic / Angular in my application.

VS 2019 not supporting it anymore was a pain, but I could still use VS2017.

But now the bigger (by far) problem is Ionic >= 5 does not support Edge, hence the Edge webview use by the UWP. We have basically just been left in the cold! We have no UWP support at the moment. There is the new webview2 but I don't see anything like the Winjs to access Windows API, so may need to go over to Electron (I don't see any other option). If so, then will definitely need SQLite support (I store a lot of offline data in SQLite)
