API

• setupConnections()

setupConnections()

setupConnections() => Promise<{ done: boolean; error?: string; }>

Attempts to connect to the best Codit network available.

• Android: "best" is defined by the strongest signal
• iOS: "best" is defined by whatever Apple decides

listNetworks()

listNetworks() => Promise<{ done: boolean; error?: string; }>

• Android: scans the available Wi-Fi networks and returns the list.
• iOS: does nothing.

Returns: Promise<{ done: boolean; error?: string; }>

manuallyConnect(...)

manuallyConnect({ SSID, BSSID }: { SSID: string; BSSID: string; }) => Promise<{ done: boolean; error?: string; }>

Attempts to connect to the Codit network indicated.

• Android: uses both SSID and BSSID to determine and join the network.
• iOS: uses the SSID to join the network, ignores the BSSID.

Returns: Promise<{ done: boolean; error?: string; }>

getVersion()

getVersion() => Promise<{ version: string; }>

Returns the version of the plugin.

Returns: Promise<{ version: string; }>

Events

• connection_success
• no_networks_found
• connection_loss

connection_success

Fired when the plugin successfully connects to a Codit device.

• Android: includes the device's BSSID in the BSSID field.
• iOS: this event means that the device is ok to attempt to join the network, but does not guarantee the connection will be successful.

no_networks_found

Fired when the call to setupConnections did not find any nearby Codit devices.

connection_loss

Fired when the current connection is lost, due to the Codit device being turned off or due to it being moved too far from the device.

Developing this plugin

1. npm install
2. npm run build
3. Replace the value for @educabot/codit-connection-plugin in the package.json file in robots-app with "../codit-connection-plugin"
