Usage

Library Pub link

https://pub.dev/packages/nordic_id

• Import the library:

  import 'package:nordic_id/nordic_id.dart';
  import 'package:nordic_id/tag_epc.dart';

• Initialize the Nordic ID reader await NordicId.initialize;

• Open connection to the Nordic ID reader await NordicId.connect

• Refresh and Start tracing/reading the ids/cards await NordicId.refreshTracing

• Stop tracing/reading the ids/cards await NordicId.stopTrace

• Is connected and can start tracing/reading the ids/cards bool? isConnected = await NordicId.isConnected

• Listen to connection status

  NordicId.connectionStatusStream
  .receiveBroadcastStream()
  .listen(updateConnection);
  
  bool isConnectedStatus = false;
  void updateConnection(dynamic result) {
  setState(() {
    isConnectedStatus = result;
  });
  }

  • Listen to tags status

  NordicId.tagsStatusStream
  .receiveBroadcastStream()
  .listen(updateTags);
  
  List<TagEpc> _data = [];
  void updateTags(dynamic result) {
     setState(() {
         _data = TagEpc.parseTags(result);
      });
    }
