Quick Start - Setup

This is just a simple setup guide to integrate the anylinesdk-plugin in an existing Cordova project.
For more information about Cordova, how to use plugins, etc. see https://cordova.apache.org/.

1. Add the anylinesdk-plugin to your existing cordova project

cordova plugin add io-anyline-cordova

Or use plugman. E.g. for android:

plugman install --platform android --project platforms/android --plugin io-anyline-cordova

2. Plugin Usage

cordova.exec(onResult, onError, "AnylineSDK", scanMode, config);

• onResult: a function that is called on a scan result
• onError: a function that is called on error or when the user canceled the scanning
• AnylineSDK: add this string to make sure the anyline-sdk plugin is called
• scanMode: "MRZ", "BARCODE", "ANYLINE_OCR", "ELECTRIC_METER", "GAS_METER" (more Energy modes can be found here)
• config: an array
  • config[0]: the license key
  • config[1]: the view config
  • config[2]: the ocr config (only uses with mode ANYLINE_OCR)

Example for config from MRZ:

[
    "YOUR_LICENSE_KEY",
    {
        "captureResolution": "1080p",
        "cutout": {
            "style": "rect",
            "maxWidthPercent": "90%",
            "maxHeightPercent": "90%",
            "alignment": "top_half",
            "strokeWidth": 2,
            "cornerRadius": 4,
            "strokeColor": "FFFFFF",
            "outerColor": "000000",
            "outerAlpha": 0.3
        },
        "flash": {
            "mode": "manual",
            "alignment": "bottom_right"
        },
        "beepOnResult": true,
        "vibrateOnResult": true,
        "blinkAnimationOnResult": true,
        "cancelOnResult": true
    }
]
