Use node.js plugin in Cordova

I'm new to Cordova and am figuring out how to include a Node.JS Plugin, this one:

https://github.com/mateodelnorte/forecast.io

I've tried to include the JS file manually, but when running the code,

of course I get the error that "require is not defined".

After Googling I found out that I have to use Cordova package manager to install such plugins. however,

• there is no plugin for Forecast.io... So,
• how to use this nodejs-plugin?
• Do I need to create a Cordova plugin myself?
