Installation

Swift Package Manager (Recommended)

Carthage

github "tattn/NFCReader"

Configuration

NFCReader uses Core NFC, so you need to add the following setting:

1. Add Near Field Communication Tag Reading to Capabilities.
2. Add Privacy - NFC Scan Usage Description to Info.plist.
3. Add system codes of the card you want to scan to Info.plist.

Card	System code
Transit cards in Japan	0003
nanaco, Edy, WAON	FE00

Usage

Read histories

import NFCReader

let reader = Reader<Suica>() // `Nanaco`, `Edy` or `Waon`
reader.read(didBecomeActive: { _ in
    print("didBecomeActive")
}, didDetect: { reader, result in
    switch result {
    case .success(let suica):
        let balance = suica.boardingHistory.first?.balance ?? 0
        reader.setMessage("Your balance is ¥\(balance) .")
    case .failure(let error):
        reader.setMessage("something wrong")
    }
})

You can see more details at Sources/NFCReader/Tags:

Scan multiple tags

let reader = Reader<FeliCa>
reader.read(didDetect: { reader, result in
    switch result {
    case .success(let tag):
        switch tag {
        case .edy(let edy):
            print(edy)
        case .nanaco(let nanaco):
            print(nanaco)
        case .waon(let waon):
            print(waon)
        case .suica(let suica):
            print(suica)
        }
    case .failure(let error):
        print(error)
    }
})

The reader can also read just specific tags. Please see Sources/NFCReader/Tags/FeliCa/FeliCa.swift.

Scan tags repeatedly

reader.read(didDetect: { reader, result in
    switch result {
    case .success(let suica):
        let balance = suica.boardingHistory.first?.balance ?? 0
        reader.setMessage("Your balance is ¥\(balance) .")
        reader.restartReading() // continue to scan
    case .failure(let error):
        reader.setMessage("something wrong")
        reader.restartReading()
    }
})

Custom message

var configuration = ReaderConfiguration()
configuration.message.alert = "Hold your iPhone near the Suica."

let reader = Reader<Suica>(configuration: configuration)

Read custom tags

Please see ./Sources/NFCReader/Tags/FeliCa/nanaco/Nanaco.swift.

ToDo

• Decode entrance and exit histories of Suica. (service code: 108F)
• Decode SF entrance histories of Suica. (service code: 10CB)
• Support more NFC tags.
