Current behavior:

i’m trying to use plugin.google.maps.geometry.encoding inside my Ionic app but I’m getting this error: Cannot find name 'plugin'. Did you mean 'Plugin'?.

How can I access plugin from Ionic?

This is my code: var path = plugin.google.maps.geometry.encoding.decodePath(json['overview_polyline']['points'])

Expected behavior:
