chainway-sensors by Fuzz

This REACT-NATIVE library allows both the UHF reader and Barcode reader in chainway handhelds (like c66) to be used. At the moment I am too lazy to write a complete guide. Check out the index.ts file to get an idea of the functionalities.

Getting Started

Android Configuration

Add package from npm to your project: npm install chainway-sensors

To handle hardware key events on Android, you need to modify the MainActivity.kt file in your Android project. Follow these steps:

1. Open MainActivity.kt located in android/app/src/main/kotlin/com/yourapp/

2. Add the following imports at the top of the file:

   import com.facebook.react.bridge.ReactContext
   import android.view.KeyEvent
   import com.facebook.react.modules.core.DeviceEventManagerModule

3. Add or update the following code in the MainActivity class:

   override fun onKeyDown(keyCode: Int, event: KeyEvent): Boolean {
       if (keyCode == 139 || keyCode == 280 || keyCode == 293) { // Replace with your hardware key code
           val reactInstanceManager = reactNativeHost.reactInstanceManager
           val reactContext = reactInstanceManager.currentReactContext
   
           reactContext?.let {
               sendEvent(it, "onHardwareKeyPress", "Key pressed: $keyCode")
           }
           return true
       }
       return super.onKeyDown(keyCode, event)
   }
   
   private fun sendEvent(reactContext: ReactContext, eventName: String, params: String) {
       reactContext
           .getJSModule(DeviceEventManagerModule.RCTDeviceEventEmitter::class.java)
           .emit(eventName, params)
   }

Usage

Here's how you can use the chainway-sensors package in your React Native application:

1. Import the module:

   import RNChainwaySensors from "chainway-sensors";
   import { NativeEventEmitter, Alert, Button, Text, TextInput, View } from 'react-native';

2. Use the module in your component:

   const App = () => {
       const [isReading, setIsReading] = React.useState(false);
       const [powerState, setPowerState] = React.useState('');
       const [tags, setTags] = React.useState([]);
       const [power, setPower] = React.useState(0);
       const eventEmitter = new NativeEventEmitter(RNChainwaySensors);
   
       const showAlert = (title, data) => {
           Alert.alert(
               title,
               data,
               [{ text: 'OK', onPress: () => console.log('OK Pressed') }],
               { cancelable: false }
           );
       };
   
       const powerListener = (data) => {
           setPowerState(data);
       };
   
       const tagListener = (data) => {
           setTags(tags => tags.concat(data[0]));
       };
   
       React.useEffect(() => {
           (async () => {
               try {
                   const scanner = RNChainwaySensors;
                   const result = await scanner.initializeUHF();
                   setPowerState(result);
                   scanner.tagListener(tagListener);
                   scanner.powerListener(powerListener);
                   const subscription = eventEmitter.addListener('onHardwareKeyPress', () => {
                       scanSingleTag();
                   });
                   return () => {
                       subscription.remove();
                   };
               } catch (error) {
                   Alert.alert(error?.message);
               }
           })();
           return () => {
               RNChainwaySensors.deinitializeUHF();
               RNChainwaySensors.releaseSoundPool();
           };
       }, []);
   
       const readPower = async () => {
           try {
               let result = await RNChainwaySensors.readPower();
               showAlert('SUCCESS', `The result is ${result}`);
               console.log(result);
           } catch (error) {
               showAlert('FAILED', error.message);
           }
       };
   
       const scanSingleTag = async () => {
           try {
               let result = await RNChainwaySensors.readSingleTag();
               showAlert('SUCCESS', `The result is ${result}`);
               console.log(result);
           } catch (error) {
               showAlert('FAILED', error.message);
           }
       };
   
       const startReading = () => {
           RNChainwaySensors.startReadingTags((message) => {
               setIsReading(message);
           });
       };
   
       const stopReading = () => {
           RNChainwaySensors.stopReadingTags((message) => {
               setIsReading(false);
           });
       };
