Support laser scanners #100

Closed AlexZCP closed 2 years ago

AlexZCP commented 2 years ago

Hi guys!

Can you tell if this plugin support some hardware like laser scanners (etc. in Zebra or Sunme devices). If not, point me to maybe already existing capacitor plugin?

Thanks much.

I don't think that supporting laser scanners should be part of this plugin since it is a different use case and every vendor uses their own SDKs.

I know about some old cordova plugins providing this function, but they are all based on a specific vendor (which makes sense) and I don't know how well they are maintained. If you can tell me which devices you want to use I might be able to help you find something...

But I guess the easiest, or maybe not the easiest but the best way would be to use the vendor SDK and create a custom plugin for your use case, this should not be a to complex task since you don't have to implement a lot of functionality.

You can find more details about creating an Android plugin here: https://capacitorjs.com/docs/plugins/android
