This plugin enables receipt printing on Bixolon Bluetooth printers. It has been tested with the Bixolon SPP-R310 printer and supports Bixolon's Bluetooth mobile printers. Additionally, it only supports the Korean character set for printing.

Getting Started

To use btPrinter in your Flutter project, add it to your pubspec.yaml:

dependencies:
  bixolon_btprinter: ^0.1.2 # Replace with the latest version

Usage

1. Requesting Bluetooth Permissions

Future<void> requestBluetoothPermissions() async {
  final _btprinterPlugin = Btprinter();
  String? result;
  try {
    result = await _btprinterPlugin.getBtPermission();
  } on PlatformException catch (e) {
    result = 'Error: ${e.message}';
  }
  print(result); // Prints "success" if permissions are granted
}

2. Retrieving Paired Devices

Future<void> getPairedDevices() async {
  final _btprinterPlugin = Btprinter();
  List<String?> devices = [];
  try {
    List<Object?> result = await _btprinterPlugin.getPairedDevices();
    devices = result.cast<String>().where((device) => device.startsWith('SPP')).toList();
  } on PlatformException catch (e) {
    print('Error: ${e.message}');
  }
  print(devices); // Prints the list of paired devices
}

3. Printing Text

Future<void> print(String device) async {
  final _btprinterPlugin = Btprinter();

  List<String> deviceInfo = device!.split('(');
  String logicalName = deviceInfo[0].split("_")[0].trim();
  String address = deviceInfo[1].replaceAll(')', '').trim();

  List<Map<String, dynamic>> textRequests = [
    {
      'text': 'Print Title Test\n',
      'textAlignment': Btprinter.ALIGNMENT_CENTER,
      'textAttribute': Btprinter.ATTRIBUTE_BOLD,
      'textSize': 2,
    },
    {
      'text': 'Print Content Test\n\n',
      'textAlignment': Btprinter.ALIGNMENT_LEFT,
      'textAttribute': Btprinter.ATTRIBUTE_NORMAL,
      'textSize': 1,
    },
  ];

  String? result;
  try {
    result = await _btprinterPlugin.printText(textRequests, logicalName, address);
  } on PlatformException catch (e) {
    result = 'Error: ${e.message}';
  }
  print(result); // Prints "success" if printing is successful
}

4. Printing Barcode

Future<void> print(String device) async {
  final _btprinterPlugin = Btprinter();

  List<String> deviceInfo = device!.split('(');
  String logicalName = deviceInfo[0].split("_")[0].trim();
  String address = deviceInfo[1].replaceAll(')', '').trim();

  List<Map<String, dynamic>> barcodeRequests = [
    {
      'data': '123456789012\n',
      'symbology': Btprinter.BARCODE_TYPE_ITF, //Optional, default value
      'width': 3, // Optional, default value
      'height': 100, // Optional, default value
      'alignment': Btprinter.ALIGNMENT_LEFT, //Optional, default value
      'hri': Btprinter.BARCODE_HRI_BELOW, //Optional, default value
    },
  ];

  String? result;
  try {
    result = await _btprinterPlugin.printBarcode(barcodeRequests, logicalName, address);
  } on PlatformException catch (e) {
    result = 'Error: ${e.message}';
  }
  print(result); // Prints "success" if printing is successful
}
