cordova-plugin-magnetometer v1.0.0

cordova-plugin-magnetometer

A magnetic field detector plugin ideal for science toolkit or metal detector apps.

The API can be accessed via single call or by placing a listener that fires a callback function repeatedly.

It displays the raw x, y, and z magnetometer values as well as a computed magnitude of the magnetic field.
