rn-splatform-thermal-printer-bluetooth

React-Native plugin for the bluetooth ESC/POS & TSC printers.

This plugin is a fork of react-native-bluetooth-escpos-printer. Because we made changes print picture and print qr code methods.

Any questions or bug please raise a issue.

##Still under developement

#May support Android / IOS

Installation

Step 1

Install via NPM Check In NPM

npm install rn-splatform-thermal-printer-bluetooth --save

Step2

Link the plugin to your RN project

react-native link rn-splatform-thermal-printer-bluetooth

Or you may need to link manually. //TODO: manually link guilds.

Step3

Refers to your JS files

import {
  BluetoothManager,
  BluetoothEscposPrinter,
  BluetoothTscPrinter,
} from "rn-splatform-thermal-printer-bluetooth";

Usage and APIs

BluetoothManager

BluetoothManager is the module that for Bluetooth service management, supports Bluetooth status check, enable/disable Bluetooth service,scan devices,connect/unpair devices.

• isBluetoothEnabled ==> async function, check whether Bluetooth service is enabled. //TODO: consider to return the the devices information already bound and paired here..

BluetoothManager.isBluetoothEnabled().then(
  (enabled) => {
    alert(enabled); // enabled ==> true /false
  },
  (err) => {
    alert(err);
  }
);

• enableBluetooth ==> diff + ANDROID ONLY async function, enable the bluetooth service, returns the devices information already bound and paired. diff - IOS would just resovle with nil

BluetoothManager.enableBluetooth().then(
  (r) => {
    var paired = [];
    if (r && r.length > 0) {
      for (var i = 0; i < r.length; i++) {
        try {
          paired.push(JSON.parse(r[i])); // NEED TO PARSE THE DEVICE INFORMATION
        } catch (e) {
          //ignore
        }
      }
    }
    console.log(JSON.stringify(paired));
  },
  (err) => {
    alert(err);
  }
);

• disableBluetooth ==> diff + ANDROID ONLY async function ,disable the bluetooth service. diff - IOS would just resovle with nil

BluetoothManager.disableBluetooth().then(
  () => {
    // do something.
  },
  (err) => {
    alert(err);
  }
);

• scanDevices ==> async function , scans the bluetooth devices, returns devices found and pared after scan finish. Event [BluetoothManager.EVENT_DEVICE_ALREADY_PAIRED] would be emitted with devices bound; event [BluetoothManager.EVENT_DEVICE_FOUND] would be emitted (many time) as long as new devices found.

samples with events:

DeviceEventEmitter.addListener(
  BluetoothManager.EVENT_DEVICE_ALREADY_PAIRED,
  (rsp) => {
    this._deviceAlreadPaired(rsp); // rsp.devices would returns the paired devices array in JSON string.
  }
);
DeviceEventEmitter.addListener(BluetoothManager.EVENT_DEVICE_FOUND, (rsp) => {
  this._deviceFoundEvent(rsp); // rsp.devices would returns the found device object in JSON string
});

samples with scanDevices function

BluetoothManager.scanDevices().then(
  (scannedDevices) => {
    const parsedObj = JSON.parse(scannedDevices);
    this.setState(
      {
        pairedDs: this.state.pairedDs.cloneWithRows(parsedObj.paired || []),
        foundDs: this.state.foundDs.cloneWithRows(parsedObj.found || []),
        loading: false,
      },
      () => {
        this.paired = parsedObj.paired || [];
        this.found = parsedObj.found || [];
      }
    );
  },
  (er) => {
    this.setState({
      loading: false,
    });
    alert("error" + JSON.stringify(er));
  }
);

• connect ==> async function, connect the specified devices, if not bound, bound dailog promps.

BluetoothManager.connect(rowData.address) // the device address scanned.
  .then(
    (s) => {
      this.setState({
        loading: false,
        boundAddress: rowData.address,
      });
    },
    (e) => {
      this.setState({
        loading: false,
      });
      alert(e);
    }
  );

• Events of BluetoothManager module

| Name/KEY | DESCRIPTION | | --------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------ | | EVENT_DEVICE_ALREADY_PAIRED | Emits the devices array already paired | | EVENT_DEVICE_DISCOVER_DONE | Emits when the scan done | | EVENT_DEVICE_FOUND | Emits when device found during scan | | EVENT_CONNECTION_LOST | Emits when device connection lost | | EVENT_UNABLE_CONNECT | Emits when error occurs while trying to connect device | | EVENT_CONNECTED | Emits when device connected | | EVENT_BLUETOOTH_NOT_SUPPORT | Emits when device not support bluetooth(android only) |

BluetoothTscPrinter

The printer for label printing.

• printLabel ==> async function the perform label print action.

BluetoothTscPrinter.printLabel(options).then(
  () => {
    //success
  },
  (err) => {
    //error
  }
);
