Cordova-Plugin-Ads

Cordova plugin to add ads (by Google AdMob) into an app. Use JavaScript to include ads in your app.

If you notice any issues, submit here: github issues

Have a good one!

PLUGIN USAGE

Add these calls inside of your cordova JavaScript to show ads:

banner ads adMob.banner(bannerId,adMob.ad_sizes.RESIZE,adMob.ad_positions.TOP) adMob.removeBanner()

full screen ads adMob.interstitial(interstitialId) adMob.showInterstitial()

rewarded video ads adMob.rewarded(rewardedId) adMob.showRewarded()

rewarded full screen video ads (new, and better supported than rewarded ads) adMob.rewardedInterstitial(rewardedInterstitialId) adMob.showRewardedInterstitial()

The plugin creates an adMob object that can request to load new ads. Note: to fund the development of the plugin, the plugin requests 2% of ads for the plugin developer. It seems there are a lot of Cordova ad plugins that request this lol, it can there even if not said.

CREATE AN APP WITH CORDOVA

How to create a Cordova app:

npm install -g cordova
cordova create directory_name com.your_name_or_company.your_app_name

Cordova is an open source project maintained by Apache that lets you make apps written in HTML, css, and JavaScript. You can create cross-platform apps to publish on the Google Play Store for Android, and the Appstore for iOS, MacOS, and Apple devices.

ADD ADS

Add the plugin

cordova plugin add cordova-plugin-ads

Test that ads are working using test ads. Use the id "test" to load test ads from the plugin.

var test_ad_id = "test";

async function runAllOfTheAds(){
    await adMob.banner(test_ad_id).then(function(){
        alert("loaded banner ads");
    }).catch(function(err){
        alert("unable to load ads: "+JSON.stringify(err));
    });
    
    await adMob.interstitial(test_ad_id).then(function(){
        alert("loaded interstitial ads");;
        return adMob.showInterstitial();
    }).then(function(){
        alert("showed interstitial ads");
    }).catch(function(err){
        alert("unable to load ads: "+JSON.stringify(err));
    });
    
    await adMob.rewarded(test_ad_id).then(function(){
        console.log("loaded rewarded ads");
        return adMob.showRewarded();
    }).then(function(reward){
        alert("showed rewarded ads"+JSON.stringify(reward));
    }).catch(function(err){
        alert("unable to load rewarded ads: "+JSON.stringify(err));
    });
    
    await adMob.rewardedInterstitial(test_ad_id).then(function(){
        alert("loaded rewarded ads");
        return adMob.showRewardedInterstitial();
    }).then(function(reward){
        alert("showed rewarded ads"+JSON.stringify(reward));
    }).catch(function(err){
        alert("unable to load rewarded ads: "+JSON.stringify(err));
    });

}

function onDeviceReady() {
    runAllOfTheAds();
}

In your Google AdMob account, create ad units for your apps - note that the ads may return LOAD_AD_ERRORS errors (especially iOS) until the app has been approved, or while during testing
