List USB devices

listDevices method get current connected USB device list.

cordova.plugins.usbevent.listDevices(
      function(list) {
        console.log(list);
      },
      function(error) {
        console.log(error);

The following result is output. USB device information has vendor ID and product ID.

{
  "id": "list",
  "devices": [
    {
      "vendorId": 1234,
      "productId": 4321
    }
  ]
}

You can set a filter if you need a specific USB device.

var filter = {
  id: 'include',
  devices: [
    {
      vendorId: 1234,
      productId: 4321
    }
  ]
};
cordova.plugins.usbevent.listDevices(
      function(list) {
        console.log(list);
      },
      function(error) {
        console.log(error);
      },
      filter);

Handle USB attached and detached event

registerEventCallback method can get USB device information on attached and detached.

cordova.plugins.usbevent.registerEventCallback(
      function(result) {
        console.log(result);
      },
      function(error) {
        console.log(error);
      });

The following result is output. First, the following result is returned after method call success.

{
  "id": "callbackRegistered"
}

Next, each result is returned on attaching an detaching USB.

{
  "id": "attached",
  "devices": [
    {
      "vendorId": 1234,
      "productId": 4321
    }
  ]
}

{
  "id": "detached",
  "devices": [
    {
      "vendorId": 1234,
      "productId": 4321
    }
  ]
}

You can set a filter if you need a specific USB device.

var filter = {
  id: 'include',
  devices: [
    {
      vendorId: 1234,
      productId: 4321
    }
  ]
};
cordova.plugins.usbevent.registerEventCallback(
      function(result) {
        console.log(result);
      },
      function(error) {
        console.log(error);
      },
      filter);

Notice: This plugin can register single callback. The method overrite previous registered callback.

cordova.plugins.usbevent.unregisterEventCallback(
      function(result) {
        console.log(result);
      },
      function(error) {
        console.log(error);
      });

The following result is returned.

{
  "id": "callbackUnregistered"
}

Check callback registered

existsRegisteredCallback check exits callback. The method return true if exits callback.

cordova.plugins.usbevent.existsRegisteredCallback(
      function(result) {
        console.log(result); // true if exists.
      },
      function(error) {
        console.log(error);
      });

Common output object definition

Returned data definition is that.

// Typescript data definitions.

/**
 * Event ID
 */
enum UsbEventId {
    List = 'list',
    Registered = 'callbackRegistered',
    Unregistered = 'callbackUnregistered',
    Attached = 'attached',
    Detached = 'detached'
}

/**
 * USB device information
 * 
 * Information may be added more.
 */
interface UsbDevice {
    vendorId: number;
    productId: number;
}

/**
 * Output by method call.
 */
interface UsbResult {
    id: UsbEventId;
    devices?: UsbDevice[];
}
