Apache Cordova / PhoneGap Plugin to detect when a physical device performs a shake gesture.
For iOS, the plugin uses the native shake detection. Fo all other platforms, it is based on a standalone JavaScript implementation I wrote last year (gist).
NB: For non-iOS platforms, there is no native component to this plugin but it depends on the device motion plugin (added when this plugin is added).

Usage
You do not need to reference any JavaScript, the Cordova plugin architecture will add a shake object to your root automatically when you build.NB: For non-iOS platforms, there is no native component to this plugin but it depends on the device motion plugin (added when this plugin is added).
Example
var onShake = function () {
// Fired when a shake is detected
};
var onError = function () {
// Fired when there is an accelerometer error (optional)
};
// Start watching for shake gestures and call "onShake"
// with a shake sensitivity of 40 (optional, default 30)
shake.startWatch(onShake, 40 /*, onError */);
// Stop watching for shake gestures
shake.stopWatch();
