react-native-citizen-escposprinter

A React Native wrapper of the Citizen ECSPOSPrinter SDK, supporting the New Architecture and classic builds.

The current version embeds these SDKs:

1. CSJAndroidPOSSDK_V212E.zip
2. CSJiOSSwiftSDK_V212E.zip

Usage

Most of the methods are a simple wrapper of the native SDK. For a complete list of methods and their details, you may refer to the PDF manual inside the Citizen SDK.

import {
  connect,
  cutPaper,
  disconnect,
  ESCPOSConst,
  printText,
  searchCitizenPrinters,
} from "react-native-citizen-escposprinter";

const main = async () => {
  const printers = await searchCitizenPrinters(
    ESCPOSConst.CMP_PORT_WiFi,
  );
  console.info("Found printers:", printers);

  await connect(printers[0].ipAddress);
  await printText("Hello World!\n");
  await cutPaper(ESCPOSConst.CMP_CUT_FULL_PREFEED);
  await disconnect();
};

⚠️ Known Issues

Error RCTEvents.receiveEvent() is not registered

tl;dr Do not use index.tsx as your entrypoint, use something like app.tsx instead.

This error happens when all of the following conditions are met:

1. You have expo-router installed
2. You have new architecture enabled
3. You are using index.tsx as your entrypoint

When expo-router's own modified entrypoint sees your index.tsx, it will be confused and incorrectly overrides some native modules.

Partial USB Support

USB connections without specified a serial number is supported and tested in the following environments (see #7):

1. Android in "old" architecture
2. Android in New Architecture
