Capacitor DataWedge - community maintained plugin

This plugin allows you to simply gain access to receiving barcode data and use some api methods from the DataWedge API designed for Capacitor with Zebra devices.

capacitor-datawedge project is unofficial and completely community maintained, do not mistake this plugin with the official Zebra Scanner plugin.

It is advised to use official plugin for full compatibility and guaranteed support, this project was created before the official plugin existed and is maintained by people who use it - it does not aim for full compatibility, features are added when someone cares enough to share the changes with other people in the true open source nature.

Install

npm install capacitor-datawedge
npx cap sync

The last supported version for Capacitor v3 is capacitor-datawedge@0.1.3

The last supported version for Capacitor v4 is capacitor-datawedge@0.2.1

The last supported version for Capacitor v5 is capacitor-datawedge@0.3.1

Usage

Enable intent output in your DataWedge profile, set Intent delivery to Broadcast intent and set Intent action to com.capacitor.datawedge.RESULT_ACTION

import { DataWedge } from 'capacitor-datawedge';

// Optional: in case you want to use your custom intent action instead
// DataWedge.__registerReceiver({ intent: "my.custom.action" });

// Register scan listener to receive barcode data
DataWedge.addListener('scan', event => {
  console.log(event.data);
});

// Scanning the barcode using physical trigger should fire up your scan callback!
// Check API for more methods
