npm install react-zebra-printReact hook that wraps the zebra-web-bridge SDK to expose a declarative interface for discovering Zebra printers from BrowserPrint-enabled environments. The package ships ESM/CJS bundles plus .d.ts files generated with vite-plugin-dts.
- useZebraPrinters() hook that tracks printers, loading state, errors, and refresh logic.
- Default client powered by getLocalDevices({ deviceType: "printer" }), so no wiring required for the common case.
- Ability to inject a custom PrinterClient for advanced fetching strategies (caching, polling, remote APIs).
- Lightweight printer model: { id, name, isDefault? }.
- Tested with Vitest and @testing-library/react using Happy DOM.

Custom clients
Provide your own
when you need to call a backend service or apply custom selection logic:`ts
import type { PrinterClient } from "react-zebra-print";const cloudPrinterClient: PrinterClient = {
async listPrinters() {
const response = await fetch("/api/printers");
return (await response.json()).printers;
},
};
`tsx
const { printers } = useZebraPrinters({ client: cloudPrinterClient });
`Whatever you throw,
will surface it via the error field after normalizing the value into an Error instance.Development
`bash
pnpm install # from the monorepo root
pnpm --filter react-zebra-print build # generates dist/ (ESM, CJS, d.ts)
pnpm --filter react-zebra-print test
pnpm --filter demo dev # demo app consuming this package
``The Vite-powered build emits production-ready bundles, while the demo relies on the published output to mimic real-world usage. Add or update Vitest suites when changing hook behavior.
