`context.opts.plugin` object will only be passed to plugin hooks scripts.
You can also require additional Cordova modules in your script using
`context.requireCordovaModule` in the following way:
+
```javascript
var Q = context.requireCordovaModule('q');
```
+You can make your scipts async using Q:
+
+```javascript
+module.exports = function(context) {
+ var Q = context.requireCordovaModule('q');
+ var deferral = new Q.defer();
+
+ setTimeout(function(){

__Note__: new module loader script interface is used for the `.js` files
defined via `config.xml` or `plugin.xml` only.
For compatibility reasons hook files specified via `/hooks` folders are
run via Node child_process spawn, see 'Non-javascript' section below.
### Non-javascript
-__Note__: we highly recommend writing your hooks using Node.js so that
they are cross-platform, see 'Javascript' section above.
-
Non-javascript scripts are run via Node child_process spawn from the
project's root directory and have the root directory passes as the first
argument. All other options are passed to the script using environment
variables:
-* CORDOVA_VERSION - The version of the Cordova-CLI.
-* CORDOVA_PLATFORMS - Comma separated list of platforms that the command
applies to (e.g.: android, ios).
-* CORDOVA_PLUGINS - Comma separated list of plugin IDs that the command
applies to (e.g.: org.apache.cordova.file, org.apache.cordova.file-transfer)
-* CORDOVA_HOOK - Path to the hook that is being executed.
-* CORDOVA_CMDLINE - The exact command-line arguments passed to cordova
(e.g.: cordova run ios --emulate)

cordova (e.g.: cordova run ios --emulate)
If a script returns a non-zero exit code, then the parent cordova command
will be aborted.
-Also, note that even if you are working on Windows, and in case your hook
scripts aren't bat files (which is recommended, if you want your scripts to
work in non-Windows operating systems) Cordova CLI will expect a shebang line
as the first line for it to know the interpreter it needs to use to launch the
script. The shebang line should match the following example:
