Support for extraPlugins | strinsert

We are trying to implement a custom dropdown in the toolbar using the following addon. https://ckeditor.com/cke4/addon/strinsert

We can get it to work by adding declare var CKEDITOR: any

then configuring it with CKEDITOR.plugins.addExternal( 'strinsert', '/assets/ckeditor_plugin/', 'plugin.js' )

and then finally we can actually use it in the variable we bind to [config]

this.ckeConfig = { allowedContent: true, extraPlugins: 'strinsert', strinsert_strings: shortcodeList ] }

This has a problem though as we are combining approaches and feels like it will break as I would think this is not how this library was intended to be used.

What’s the way that ng2-ckeditor is designed to include plugins for ckeditor? Is the way above correct? If it is, testing becomes difficult as declare var CKEDITOR: any doesn’t exist when creating the component through karma and so tests related to the component the editor is included on will fail with

Failed: CKEDITOR is not defined ReferenceError: CKEDITOR is not defined
