Basic setup

import {
  DataWedgeConfigMode,
  DataWedgePlugin,
  ZebraConfiguration,
  ZebraDataWedge,
  ZebraRuntime,
} from '@capgo/capacitor-zebra-datawedge';

const intentAction = 'app.capgo.zebra.SCAN';

await ZebraConfiguration.setConfig({
  profileName: 'CapgoZebraProfile',
  profileEnabled: true,
  configMode: DataWedgeConfigMode.CREATE_IF_NOT_EXIST,
  appList: [
    {
      packageName: 'com.example.app',
      activityList: ['*'],
    },
  ],
  pluginConfigs: [
    {
      pluginName: DataWedgePlugin.BARCODE,
      resetConfig: true,
      paramList: {
        scanner_selection: 'auto',
        scanner_input_enabled: 'true',
      },
    },
    {
      pluginName: DataWedgePlugin.INTENT,
      resetConfig: true,
      paramList: {
        intent_output_enabled: 'true',
        intent_action: intentAction,
        intent_delivery: 2,
      },
    },
  ],
});

await ZebraDataWedge.addListener('scan', (result) => {
  console.log('Scanned', result.data, result.labelType);
});

const result = await ZebraRuntime.softScanTrigger(intentAction);
console.log(result.data);

Main runtime groups

ZebraConfiguration manages profiles and disabled-app settings.
ZebraNotification registers for DataWedge notification broadcasts such as scanner status and profile switches.
ZebraQuery reads active profiles, associated apps, scanner status, scanner lists, and version info.
ZebraRuntime enables or disables DataWedge, switches scanners, and triggers scans.

Platform scope

Android: fully supported on Zebra devices with DataWedge installed.
iOS: not available because DataWedge is Zebra Android specific.
Web: not available beyond API shape parity.
