React Native Honeywell Barcode Reader

This package works with Honeywell devices that have an integrated barcode scanner, like the Honeywell EDA50K and EDA51 (tested).

This version fixed the event will fire twice.

This version is a fork from https://github.com/duytq94/react-native-honeywell-barcode-reader

Installation

npm i @bishosba/honeywell-barcode-reader

Link automatically:

react-native link @bishosba/honeywell-barcode-reader

Link manually (recommend):

• In app\build.gradle add

implementation project(':@bishosba/honeywell-barcode-reader')

• In settings.gradle add

Usage

First you'll want to check whether the device is a Honeywell scanner:

import HoneywellBarcodeReader from "@bishosba/honeywell-barcode-reader";

HoneywellBarcodeReader.isCompatible; // true or false

The barcode reader needs to be "claimed" by your application; meanwhile no other application can use it. You can do that like this:

HoneywellBarcodeReader.startReader().then((claimed) => {
  console.log(claimed ? "Barcode reader is claimed" : "Barcode reader is busy");
});

To get events from the barcode scanner:

HoneywellBarcodeReader.onBarcodeReadSuccess((event) => {
  console.log("Received data", event);
});

HoneywellBarcodeReader.onBarcodeReadFail(() => {
  console.log("Barcode read failed");
});

To free the claim and stop the reader, also freeing up resources:

HoneywellBarcodeReader.stopReader().then(() => {
  console.log("Freedom!");
});

To stop receiving events:

HoneywellBarcodeReader.offBarcodeReadSuccess();
HoneywellBarcodeReader.offBarcodeReadFail();
