Usage

RNZebraBluetoothPrinter

RNZebraBluetoothPrinter is a module for Bluetooth management and supports print functionality for zebra bluetooth printers ( only ble devices ).
It includes features like bluetooth enable/disable, pair/unpair a BLE/Bluetooth device, scan for nearby bluetooth devices and printing using bluetooth.
`javascript
import RNZebraBluetoothPrinter from 'react-native-zebra-bluetooth-printer';

`
1. isEnabledBluetooth == > async function, check the status of bluetooth service in the bluetooth client(mobile phone) .Returns true if already enabled, false if not enabled.
`javascript
RNZebraBluetoothPrinter.isEnabledBluetooth().then((res) => {
//do something with res
})
`
2. enableBluetooth == > async function,
Android: requests for bluetooth on/off permission on the android device.
iOS: resolves to nil.

`javascript
RNZebraBluetoothPrinter.enableBluetooth().then((res) => {
//do something with res
})
`

3. disableBluetooth == > async function,
Android: disables bluetooth if bluetooth is switched on.
iOS: simply resolves by nil.
`javascript
RNZebraBluetoothPrinter.disableBluetooth().then((res) => {
//do something with res
})
`
4. scanDevices == > async function, scans for available nearby bluetooth devices for a specific period of time.
`javascript
RNZebraBluetoothPrinter.scanDevices().then((deviceArray) => {
//do something with res
})
`
5. pairedDevices == > async function,
Android: returns already paired devices.
iOS: resolves to nil.
`javascript
RNZebraBluetoothPrinter.pairedDevices().then((deviceArray) => {
//do something with deviceArray
})
`
6. connectDevice == > async function, for both android and iOS
`javascript
RNZebraBluetoothPrinter.connectDevice(deviceAddress).then((res) => {
//do something with res
//for android, device address is mac address
//for iOS, device address is a long string like 0C347F9F-2881-9CCB-43B0-205976944626
})
`
7. unpairDevice == > async function,
Android: unpair/disconnect a paired device from paired device list.
`javascript
RNZebraBluetoothPrinter.unpairDevice(deviceAddress).then((res) => {
//do something with res
})
`
iOS: function resolves to nil.
8. print == > async function, prints specific zpl string from a zebra printer for both android and iOS. CPCL strings can also be printed using this for Android.

For example :
`javascript
const zpl = "^XA^FX Top section with company logo, name and address.^CF0,60^FO50,50^GB100,100,100^FS^ FO75,75 ^ FR ^ GB100, 100, 100 ^ FS^ FO88, 88 ^ GB50, 50, 50 ^ FS ^XZ";

`
Android
`javascript
RNZebraBluetoothPrinter.print(deviceAddress,zpl).then((res) => {
//do something with res
})
`
iOS
`javascript
RNZebraBluetoothPrinter.print(zpl).then((res)=>{
//do something with res
})
