   > When I use cordova-sqlite-storage with the types from DefinitelyTyped, it works out of the box and without any imports:
   
   What's actually happening here is that when you install `@types/cordova-sqlite-storage` or any other typings from the `@types` organization, they get placed in `node_modules/@types/...` which typescript will automatically load by default.
   
   Typings that is provided by `cordova-plugin-file` I believe is only ever imported when you explicitly have an `import` statement (which doesn't make sense in this case as cordova plugins don't actually export anything, as they clobber the global namespace).
   
   Using `/// <reference types="cordova-plugin-file" />` like you said should work. You can also try messing with the [typeRoots](https://www.typescriptlang.org/tsconfig#typeRoots) TS compiler flag.
   
   There isn't anything Cordova can "adjust" to make this work out of the box. But I do believe this should be documented somewhere so I'll leave this issue open.
