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.

Install

npm install capacitor-datawedge
npx cap sync

Usage

To use the DataWedge plugin with the DataWedge API, follow these steps:

1. Register the broadcast receiver:

   import { DataWedge } from 'capacitor-datawedge';
   
   const filterActions = ["com.symbol.datawedge.api.RESULT_ACTION", "com.your.app.ACTION"];
   const filterCategories = ["android.intent.category.DEFAULT"];
   const filter = { filterActions, filterCategories };
   
   await DataWedge.registerBroadcastReceiver(filter);

2. Send a command to get the version info:

   const intent = {
     action: "com.symbol.datawedge.api.ACTION",
     extras: { "com.symbol.datawedge.api.GET_VERSION_INFO": "" }
   };
   
   await DataWedge.sendBroadcastWithExtras(intent);

3. Listen for broadcast events:

   DataWedge.addListener('broadcast', (state) => {
     console.log('Received broadcast:', state);
   });

4. Remove all listeners (when needed):

   await DataWedge.removeAllListeners();

Example

import { Capacitor } from "@capacitor/core";
import { DataWedge } from 'capacitor-datawedge';

if (Capacitor.getPlatform() === "android") {
  const filterActions = ["com.symbol.datawedge.api.RESULT_ACTION", "com.your.app.ACTION"];
  const filterCategories = ["android.intent.category.DEFAULT"];
  const filter = { filterActions, filterCategories };

  DataWedge.registerBroadcastReceiver(filter)
    .then(() => {
      console.log("Broadcast receiver registered");

      const intent = {
        action: "com.symbol.datawedge.api.ACTION",
        extras: { "com.symbol.datawedge.api.GET_VERSION_INFO": "" }
      };

      return DataWedge.sendBroadcastWithExtras(intent);
    })
    .then(() => {
      console.log("Version info command sent");
    })
    .catch((e) => {
      console.error("Error during setup", e);
    });

  DataWedge.addListener('broadcast', (intent) => {
    const extras = intent["extras"] as JsonObject

    if (extras) {
      const extrasKeys = Object.keys(extras)

      for (const extrasKey of extrasKeys) {
        switch (extrasKey) {
          case "com.symbol.datawedge.api.RESULT_GET_VERSION_INFO":
            // create a datawedge profile
            break

          case "com.symbol.datawedge.data_string":
            // A barcode has been scanned
            break
        }
      }
    }
  });

  const createDataWedgeProfile = async () => {
    await this.sendCommand("com.symbol.datawedge.api.CREATE_PROFILE", "profile_name")

    const firstProfileConfig = {
      PROFILE_NAME: "profile_name",
      PROFILE_ENABLED: "true",
      CONFIG_MODE: "UPDATE",
      PLUGIN_CONFIG: {
        PLUGIN_NAME: "BARCODE",
        RESET_CONFIG: "true",
        PARAM_LIST: {}
      },
      APP_LIST: [
        {
          PACKAGE_NAME: "com.your.app",
          ACTIVITY_LIST: ["*"]
        }
      ]
    }
    await this.sendCommand("com.symbol.datawedge.api.SET_CONFIG", firstProfileConfig)

    const secondProfileConfig = {
      PROFILE_NAME: "profile_name",
      PROFILE_ENABLED: "true",
      CONFIG_MODE: "UPDATE",
      PLUGIN_CONFIG: {
        PLUGIN_NAME: "INTENT",
        RESET_CONFIG: "true",
        PARAM_LIST: {
          intent_output_enabled: "true",
          intent_action: "com.your.app.ACTION",
          intent_category: "android.intent.category.DEFAULT",
          intent_delivery: "2"
        }
      }
    }
    await this.sendCommand("com.symbol.datawedge.api.SET_CONFIG", secondProfileConfig)
  }

  const sendCommand = async (extraName: string, extraValue: string | JsonObject): Promise<void> => {
    let broadcastExtras = {}
    broadcastExtras[extraName] = extraValue
    await DataWedge.sendBroadcastWithExtras({
      action: "com.symbol.datawedge.api.ACTION",
      extras: broadcastExtras
    })
  }
}

This example demonstrates the basic steps to register the broadcast receiver, send a command to get version info, and listen for broadcast events using the DataWedge plugin.

API

• registerBroadcastReceiver(...)
• sendBroadcastWithExtras(...)
• addListener('broadcast', ...)
• removeAllListeners()
• Interfaces
• Type Aliases

Every broadcasted intent assumes com.symbol.datawedge.api package as default.

Package name can be changed by modyfing DATAWEDGE_PACKAGE variable here
