Examples
This example shows how to create a convenience function that reads a single tag and then stops polling, saving battery life by cutting unneeded work. The example could easily be extended to time out after a given amount of milliseconds.
const ndefReader = new NDEFReader(); function read() { return new Promise((resolve, reject) => { const ctlr = new AbortController(); ctlr.signal.onabort = reject; ndefReader.addEventListener("reading", event => { ctlr.abort(); resolve(event); }, { once: true }); ndefReader.scan({ signal: ctlr.signal }).catch(err => reject(err)); }); } read().then(({ serialNumber }) => { console.log(serialNumber); });
