## Use from Javascript

If you are using jQuery, AngularJS, WinJS or any Promise/A library (Bluebird), promise style is supported. Use something like:

    });

If not, pass a callback function:

    cordova.getAppVersion.getVersionNumber(function (version) {
        alert(version);
    });

In addition to the version number you can also retrieve other details about your application:
