How to use
Heading to example project to see the complete example of how to use this library.
First create an instance of FlutterLibjeid(), check for the NFC availability, and then subscribe to the events
final _scanner = FlutterLibjeid();
final isNfcAvailable = await _scanner.isAvailable();
if (!isNfcAvailable) {
// Show error message
return;
}
final _subscription = _scanner.eventStream.listen((event) {
switch (event) {
case FlutterLibjeidEventScanning():
// Use .setMessage() to show the message inside the scanning dialog
_scanner.setMessage(message: 'Scanning...');
break;
case FlutterLibjeidEventConnecting():
_scanner.setMessage(message: 'Connecting...');
break;
case FlutterLibjeidEventParsing():
_scanner.setMessage(message: 'Parsing...');
break;
case FlutterLibjeidEventSuccess(data: FlutterLibjeidCardData data):
// Use .stopScan() to cancel the scanning process
_scanner.stopScan();
_onSuccess(data);
break;
case FlutterLibjeidEventFailed(error: FlutterLibjeidError error):
_scanner.stopScan();
_onError(error);
break;
case FlutterLibjeidEventCancelled():
break;
}
});
And then handling the data/error as needed
void _onSuccess(FlutterLibjeidCardData data) {
switch (data) {
case ResidentCardData():
// Do something with the data
break;
case MyNumberCardData():
// Do something with the data
break;
case DriverLicenseCardData():
// Do something with the data
break;
case PassportCardData():
// Do something with the data
break;
}
}
void _onError(FlutterLibjeidError error) {
switch (error) {
case NfcNotAvailableError():
// Do something with the error
break;
case NfcTagUnableToConnectError():
// Do something with the error
break;
case NfcCardBlockedError():
// Do something with the error
break;
case NfcCardTypeMismatchError():
// Do something with the error
break;
case InvalidMethodArgumentsError():
// Do something with the error
break;
case InvalidCardPinError(int remainingTimes):
// Do something with the error
break;
case InvalidCardKeyError():
// Do something with the error
break;
case UnknownError():
// Do something with the error
break;
}
}
Next, calling the scan method you want to use
await _scanner.scanResidentCard(cardNumber: 'xxxxxxxxxxxx');
await _scanner.scanMyNumberCard(pin: 'xxxx');
await _scanner.scanDriverLicenseCard(pin1: 'xxxx', pin2: 'xxxx');
await _scanner.scanPassportCard(cardNumber: 'xxxxxxxxxx', birthDate: 'xxxxxxxxxx', expiredDate: 'xxxxxxxxxx');
Finally, don't forget to unsubscribe the event stream when you no longer need it
_subscription.cancel();
Issue Tag Connection Lost
There are some reason cause tag connect lost
- The iPhone is very sensitive to positioning, so even a slight movement of the card during reading may result in "Tag connection lost".
- There are differences in readability between devices. We have also confirmed that some devices can hardly read cards. Even with the same model, there may be individual differences.
- Try to keep your card near by tag while reading, don't move it
