EMDK Barcode
This plugin defines an emdkBarcode
object which provides an API for interacting with the 2D barcode scanner hardware scanner on Zebra devices.
The EMDK library itself does support other scanner types like 1D and Camera, but this plugin is for the 2D scanner only! Feel free to change / extend it.
The emdkBarcode object is not available until after the deviceready
event.
document.addEventListener("deviceready", onDeviceReady, false);
function onDeviceReady() {
console.log(emdkBarcode);
}
This plugin is based on https://github.com/darryncampbell/EnterpriseBarcodePoC by Darryn Campbell

console.log("Scan symbology: " + scannedObj.type);
console.log("Scan time: " + scannedObj.timestamp);
},
function (status) {
console.log("Scanner failure: " + status.message);
}
);
emdkBarcode.startSoftRead
Enables the barcode scanner hardware and the associated trigger, it will start scanning immediately without the need of a hardware trigger.
emdkBarcode.startSoftRead(enableSuccess, enableFailure);
Example
emdkBarcode.startSoftRead(
function (scannedObj) {
console.log("Scan data: " + scannedObj.data);
console.log("Scan symbology: " + scannedObj.type);
console.log("Scan time: " + scannedObj.timestamp);
},
function (status) {
console.log("Scanner failure: " + status.message);
