Getting Started

Basic usage

import POS, {
  createEscPosEncoder,
} from '@g01-tecnologia/react-native-pos-printer';

const PRINTER_MAC_ADDRESS = '00:00:00:00:00:00'; // Use your printer MAC Address here or get it via the Bluetooth module

// Call once, starts the bluetooth module
await POS.Bluetooth.start();
// Creates instance of the encoder class
const encoder = createEscPosEncoder();

// Uses chaining to queue commands and encodes it to
// single Uint8Array buffer
const commands: Uint8Array = encoder
  .initialize()
  .bold(true)
  .line('Hello, POS!')
  .bold(false)
  .encode();

// Uses bluetooth api to onnect to an
// already paired printer
await POS.Bluetooth.connect(PRINTER_MAC_ADDRESS);

// Sends ESC/POS commands to it
await POS.Bluetooth.sendCommands(commands);

Status

• [x] Alpha: Not all basic functionalities are ready yet
• [ ] Public Alpha: Anyone can sign up. But go easy on us, there are a few kinks
• [ ] Public Beta: Stable enough for most non-enterprise use-cases
• [ ] Public: Production-ready

We are currently in Alpha. Watch "releases" of this repo to get notified of major updates.
