• Connect and disconnect from a Niimbot printer.
• Retrieve paired Bluetooth devices.
• Send print data to the printer.

Installation

Add niimbot_label_printer to your pubspec.yaml:

dependencies:
  niimbot_label_printer: ^0.0.1

Usage

To use the NiimbotLabelPrinter plugin, follow these steps:

1. Request Bluetooth permissions:

final bool result = await NiimbotLabelPrinter.requestPermissionGrant();

2. Check if Bluetooth is enabled:

final bool result = await NiimbotLabelPrinter.bluetoothIsEnabled();

3. Connect to a Niimbot printer:

final bool result = await NiimbotLabelPrinter.connect(device);

4. Disconnect from a Niimbot printer:

final bool result = await NiimbotLabelPrinter.disconnect();

5. Retrieve paired Bluetooth devices:

final List<BluetoothDevice> devices = await NiimbotLabelPrinter.getPairedDevices();

6. Send print data to the printer:

final bool result = await NiimbotLabelPrinter.send(printData);

7. Desconnect from a Niimbot printer:

final bool result = await NiimbotLabelPrinter.disconnect();

Example

In the example, you can print an image from the assets or create an image dynamically.

• To print an image from the assets, load the image using AssetImage and capture the widget.
• To create an image, use widgets like QrImage to generate content dynamically and then capture the widget.

Both methods allow you to generate the image you want to print and send it to the printer.
