physikey-kit-react-native

This package is a wrapper for react-native-nfc-manager, which streamlines and enhances common NFC read and write tasks with additional UI enhancements.

PhysiKey Kit

A React Native package that simplifies writing and reading data to and from NFC tags using react-native-nfc-manager. This package also provides an optional scan modal component for Android devices to enhance the user experience during NFC scanning.

Features

• NFC Write: Write a list of strings to an NFC tag.
• NFC Read: Read a list of strings from an NFC tag.

Installation

1. Install the package using npm or yarn:

npm install physikey-kit-react-native
# or
yarn add physikey-kit-react-native

1. Install the peer dependencies react-native-nfc-manager:

npm install react-native-nfc-manager react-native-gzip
# or
yarn add react-native-nfc-manager react-native-gzip

1. Follow the setup instructions for react-native-nfc-manager, including enabling NFC permissions on Android, as described in its documentation.

Basic Usage

NFC Writing Function

Use writeToCard to write an array of strings to an NFC tag. The function returns a promise that resolves to an object containing the status (success) and a message.

import { writeToCard } from 'physikey-kit-react-native';

const textList = ['Hello', 'World'];

const writeTextToCard = async () => {
  try {
    const result = await writeToCard(textList);
    if (result.success) {
      console.log('Write successful:', result.message);
    } else {
      console.log('Write failed:', result.message);
    }
  } catch (error) {
    console.error('An error occurred:', error.message);
  }
}

writeTextToCard();

NFC Reading Function

Use readFromCard to read data from an NFC tag. The function returns a promise that resolves to an object containing the success status and the read contents as a list of strings (or an error message if unsuccessful).

import { readFromCard } from 'physikey-kit-react-native';

const readTextFromCard = async () => {
  try {
    const result = await readFromCard();
    if (result.success) {
      console.log('Read successful:', result.message);
    } else {
      console.log('Read failed:', result.message);
    }
  } catch (error) {
    console.error('An error occurred:', error.message);
  }
};

readTextFromCard();
