Hello, Can this library be used from browser. I mean if we create a webserver using node js can this puggin run on client end to connect to any smartcard available on the client device?

No - you won't be able to connect to a smartcard device from within the browser. If you need a UI then you can use something like Electron (https://www.electronjs.org/)
