JSON Error - when attempting to share a tag

[jasonm23]

Not an Issue report, just a helpful pointer when the JSON Error pops up when writing or sharing a tag, it's due to the follow user error writing the method signature for nfc.share or nfc.write

 var record = ndef.textRecord("or any other ndef record creation method.");
 nfc.share(record,  onSuccessFunc, onFailFunc); // this will throw a JSON Error

The record must be in an array, ie.

 var record = ndef.textRecord("or any other ndef record creation method.");
 nfc.share( [ record ] ,  onSuccessFunc, onFailFunc); 
 //         ⬆       ⬆ 

If this was an issue report (it's a bit late since this will already be used in implementation details downstream.) it'd be a suggestion to remove the array syntax (unless multiple tags are sharable/writable at once? @don possible?)

This method signature is correct. The documentation needs to be clarified.

nfc.write and nfc.share only write one NdefMessage, but an NdefMessage is an array of NdefRecords.

Helper methods like ndef.textRecord create a new NdefRecord, but a message is one or more NdefRecords, so the method takes and array of records.

Created #59 to update documentation

@don @jasonm23 do you have an example of how to implement the nfc.share function?
I have been trying to do it and it does not transfer anything. I am using ionic and angular.

Thanks in advance

Thanks Dan for the suggestion! :)

You have done such a great job writing that plugin.
