Readme
This Cordova plugin allows you to access the Genius Scan SDK core features from a Cordova application:
This plugin is based on the Genius Scan SDK for which you need to setup a licence. You can aleady try the "demo" version for free by not setting a licence key, the only limitation being that the app will exit after 60 seconds.
To buy a licence or for any question regarding the SDK, please contact us at sdk@thegrizzlylabs.com!
As an example, you can check our demo application
This plugin requires cordova-cli
above 7.0.0: see this page for upgrading if you have an older version.
cordova-ios
above 4.3.0
Nothing to do on a new project; use cordova platform update ios --save
within your existing cordova project to upgrade it.cordova-android
6.x.x
The plugin is not compatible with Cordova Android 7.x.x because of structural changes (details).Note for Xcode 10 users: Cordova-ios is not fully compatible with Xcode 10 yet, you may need to use cordova run ios --buildFlag="-UseModernBuildSystem=0"
command to build the project properly
If you are using an older plugin version, you will first need to remove the plugin from your cordova project:
cordova plugin remove @thegrizzlylabs/cordova-plugin-genius-scan
Then you can install the new version following the instructions below.
You can install the plugin with Cordova CLI, plugman, or using the config.yml
file.
Note for Phonegap, Ionic and other cordova-based tools:
You can usually run cordova commands from the phonegap
/ionic
cli.
ionic cordova prepare
ionic cordova plugin add ....
phonegap cordova prepare
(or, shorter phonegap prepare
)From your Cordova project folder, install the plugin with the following command:
cordova plugin add @thegrizzlylabs/cordova-plugin-genius-scan
Add the following lines to your project's config.yml file:
<plugin name="@thegrizzlylabs/cordova-plugin-genius-scan" spec="~2.3.0"/>
And run cordova prepare
.
From your Cordova project folder, you can also use plugman to install the plugin only for a specific platform.
plugman install --platform ios --project ./platforms/ios --plugin @thegrizzlylabs/cordova-plugin-genius-scan
Once the deviceReady
Cordova event has been fired, the following method will be available:
cordova.plugins.GeniusScan.setLicenceKey(licenceKey, onSuccess, onFail)
Initialize the SDK with a valid licence key. Note that, for testing purpose, you can also use the plugin without a licence key, but it will only work for 60 seconds.
Param | Type | Description |
---|---|---|
licenceKey | String | Genius scan licence key for your application id |
onSuccess | Function | Success callback function, called when key is valid |
onFail | Function | Error callback |
cordova.plugins.GeniusScan.scanImage(imageFileUri, onSuccess, onFail, scanOptions)
Param | Type | Description |
---|---|---|
imageFileUri | String | file URI to the original JPEG file to be transformed with the plugin (Note: it won't be overriden by the plugin) |
onSuccess(fileUri) | Function | Callback function, called with the file URI of the processed JPEG output |
onFail | Function | Error callback |
scanOptions | Object | Scan Options |
cordova.plugins.GeniusScan.scanCamera(onSuccess, onFail, scanOptions)
Param | Type | Description |
---|---|---|
onSuccess(fileUri) | Function | Callback function, called with the file URI of the processed JPEG output |
onFail | Function | Error callback |
scanOptions | Object | Scan Options |
cordova.plugins.GeniusScan.generatePDF(imageFileUris, onSuccess, onFail, pdfOptions)
Param | Type | Description |
---|---|---|
imageFileUris | Array | Array of URIs to JPEG files that will be converted, in the given order, into a pdf |
onSuccess(fileUri) | Function | Callback function, called with the file URI of the resulting PDF |
onFail | Function | Error callback |
pdfOptions | Object | Options for pdf generation |
pdfOptions.password | String | Password to protect the pdf |
scanOptions
can be used to customize the scanning interface:
Param | Type | Description |
---|---|---|
scanOptions.defaultEnhancement | String | Force a specific image enhancement by default. Accepted values: cordova.plugins.GeniusScan.ENHANCEMENT_BW , cordova.plugins.GeniusScan.ENHANCEMENT_COLOR , cordova.plugins.GeniusScan.ENHANCEMENT_PHOTO |
In case of failure, error callback function is called with an error message as a string
You can use this plugin with any Cordova-based framework, for example Ionic. The way to detect that the device is ready is slightly different, but after that you also access the plugin with cordova.plugins.GeniusScan.scanImage(imageFileUri, onSuccess, onFail)
In the controller where you need the plugin, you will have to import Platform
and pass it to the constructor, and also declare the cordova
variable so that TypeScript recognizes it.
import { Platform } from 'ionic-angular';
declare var cordova:any;
export class HomePage {
constructor(private platform: Platform) {
platform.ready().then(() => {
// platform.ready is the equivalent of the deviceReady event described above
// the plugin method is now available:
cordova.plugins.GeniusScan.scanCamera(...)
});
}
}
