Ionic 2: Cannot find name 'SQLite'

Question

I'm trying to use SQLite on an Ionic 2 project

ionic start App_One blank --v2 --ts

Then I install the platform:

ionic platform add android
ionic platform add ios

Then SQLite plugin:

ionic plugin add cordova-sqlite-storage --save

But when I try to initialize my provider as follows:

ionic g provider db-service

Then

import { Injectable } from '@angular/core';
import { SQLite } from 'ionic-native';

@Injectable()
export class DbService {

  db: SQLite = null;

  constructor() {
    console.log('Hello DbService Provider');
    this.db = new SQLite();
  }

}

I have the following error: "Cannot find name 'SQLite'"

I have try:

npm install
ionic state restore

Any idea?

Thx

I stopped giving problems installing and changing the following fragment:

Dependency:

sudo npm install --save @ionic-native/core@latest
sudo npm install --save @ionic-native/sqlite
ionic plugin add cordova-sqlite-storage --save
sudo npm install --save @ionic/storage

Fragment:

import {SQLite} from '@ionic-native/sqlite';

@Injectable()

export class DBService {
    db = null;
    constructor () {
        this.db = new SQLite ();
    }
...
}

The fragment is initialize db in null and let the constructor take care of instantiating SQLite.
