Usage

JavaScript API

The plugin provides three main methods: start, stop, and getStepCount.

Start Step Counting

Start the step counter sensor and begin counting steps.

cordova.plugins.stepCounter.start(
    function(successMessage) {
        console.log(successMessage);
    },
    function(errorMessage) {
        console.error(errorMessage);
    }
);

Stop Step Counting

Stop the step counter sensor.

cordova.plugins.stepCounter.stop(
    function(successMessage) {
        console.log(successMessage);
    },
    function(errorMessage) {
        console.error(errorMessage);
    }
);

Get Current Step Count

Retrieve the current step count.

cordova.plugins.stepCounter.getStepCount(
    function(stepCount) {
        console.log("Current step count: " + stepCount);
    },
    function(errorMessage) {
        console.error(errorMessage);
    }
);

React Integration

To use the StepCounter plugin in a React application, you need to ensure that Cordova is properly integrated. Here's an example of how you might use the plugin within a React component.

Example React Component

import React, { useEffect, useState } from 'react';

function StepCounterComponent() {
    const [stepCount, setStepCount] = useState(0);
    const [isCounting, setIsCounting] = useState(false);

    useEffect(() => {
        document.addEventListener("deviceready", onDeviceReady, false);
        return () => {
            document.removeEventListener("deviceready", onDeviceReady, false);
        };
    }, []);

    const onDeviceReady = () => {
        console.log("Device is ready");
    };

    const startCounting = () => {
        cordova.plugins.stepCounter.start(
            (successMessage) => {
                console.log(successMessage);
                setIsCounting(true);
            },
            (errorMessage) => {
                console.error(errorMessage);
            }
        );
    };

    const stopCounting = () => {
        cordova.plugins.stepCounter.stop(
            (successMessage) => {
                console.log(successMessage);
                setIsCounting(false);
            },
            (errorMessage) => {
                console.error(errorMessage);
            }
        );
    };

    const fetchStepCount = () => {
        cordova.plugins.stepCounter.getStepCount(
            (count) => {
                setStepCount(count);
            },
            (errorMessage) => {
                console.error(errorMessage);
            }
        );
    };

    return (
        <div>
            <h1>Step Counter</h1>
            <p>Steps: {stepCount}</p>
            <button onClick={startCounting} disabled={isCounting}>
                Start Counting
            </button>
            <button onClick={stopCounting} disabled={!isCounting}>
                Stop Counting
            </button>
            <button onClick={fetchStepCount}>Get Step Count</button>
        </div>
    );
}

export default StepCounterComponent;
