Phonegap Layar Plugin

This is the official plugin for Layar in Apache Cordova/PhoneGap!

The Layar plugin for Apache Cordova allows you to use the JavaScript code in your Cordova application as you use in your web application to build an augmented reality app.

* Supported on PhoneGap (Cordova) v3.3.0 and above.
* This plugin is built with
* iOS Layar SDK 8_4_4 20160315 b4e8c76
* Android Layar SDK 8_4_4 20160229 1c600ef

Plugin Requirements and Set-Up

To use this plugin you will need to make sure you've registered with Layar and obtained your Layar Key and Layar Secret.

Limitations

Callbacks are not supported in the plugin. With the plugin you can launch a scan view or open a layar but cannot get javascript callbacks about what is going on. To implement callbacks please use the iOS and Android SDK natively.

Install Guide

This plugin requires Cordova CLI.

Create initial Cordova app

$ cordova create myApp

Its that simple!

Example App

We have provided an example app with the plugin. You can just copy the javascript file index.js and the corresponding html file index.htmland use it in your example app. Please dont forget to replace your key and secret in the index.js file.
