Configuring the project

cordova plugin add cordova-plugin-nearbee

Usage

NOTE: Every method returns success and error callbacks.

Initialize SDK.

    window.plugins.nearbeePlugin.initialize();

Enable background notifications

If set to true the NearBee SDK will send beacon notifications in the background, when the app is not running.

    window.plugins.nearbeePlugin.enableBackgroundNotifications(true);

Start scanning

This will start the scan for the beacons.

     window.plugins.nearbeePlugin.startScanning();

Receive nearbee notifications

To display a UI with list of beacons, the following needs to be done:

     window.plugins.nearbeePlugin.nearbeeNotifications(function(notificationObject) {
            console.log(JSON.parse(notificationObject));
          }, function(err) {
            console.log('Uh oh... ' + err);
        });

Stop Scanning

This will stop the scan for the beacons.

     window.plugins.nearbeePlugin.stopScanning();

Clearing notification cache

This will clear the cached server responses and will force NearBee to fetch fresh data from the server.

     window.plugins.nearbeePlugin.clearNotificationCache();
