Hmmmm…I may have taken you down the wrong road now that I know how Noodl is working 
Did you npm install @capacitor/network within Noodl? Just trying to understand if Noodl is bundling that code when you export it out to the www.
I am assuming you have this, but would be good to double check:
Your
index.htmlfile must have a<head>tag in order to properly inject Capacitor. If you do not have a<head>in your Html, Capacitor plugins will not work.
Otherwise, I am unfortunately out of ideas.
