ESC/POS print plugin #67

Open thinkoffthin opened 3 years ago

thinkoffthin commented 3 years ago

Plugin Request

Name: ESC/POS print Package: @capacitor-community/esc-print

Platform(s)

iOS

Existing Solutions

Currently no equivalent solutions but a lot of people are searching for an ESC/POS solution to use with capacitor and an iPad POS in businesses to print receipts.

Description

The plugin should be able to see all bluetooth ESC/POS printers around and be able to connect to them. After connecting, it should be able to just send a text to the printers and they do the printing.

Good idea that would be great.

Rather a more specific one. As here it is referenced to the ESC/POS commands which are adopted by more thermal printers and widely used. I've seen a lot of folks who would like to see that in capacitor and use it.

I have used a compatible cordova plugin for this, it's the Bluetooth Serial plugin and you can send ESC/POS commands to the Bluetooth thermal printer
