A new flutter plugin to help developers looking to use internal hardware inside Android devices (For now, iOS coming soon) for reading NFC tags.

It starts a reading session that keeps scanning tags until it is manually turned off. You can trigger the stop event manually using a dedicated function.

Add to pubspec.yaml:

dependencies:
  nfc_io:
    git:
      url: [email protected]:agent306/nfc_io.git
      ref: master

and then run the shell command

flutter packages get

import the plugin to your project:

import 'package:nfc_io/nfc_io.dart';

Add these two lines to your AndroidManifest.xml on the top

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.NFC" />
<uses-feature android:name="android.hardware.nfc"/>

Coming soon...

This function will return a stream, the read session will be kept open until otherwise closed. The stream will return a NfcData model whenever an NFC tag/card is detected. This model contains:

Future<void> startNFC() async {
    StreamSubscription _subscription = NfcIo.startReading.listen((NfcData data) {
        print(data);
    });
}

Future<void> stopNFC() async {
    if (_subscription != null) {
        _subscription.cancel();
        NfcData result = await NfcIo.stopReading;
        print(result);
    }
}

For better details look at the demo app.

This project is a starting point for a Flutter plug-in package, a specialized package that includes platform-specific implementation code for Android and/or iOS.
