DataWedge-Ionic-Capacitor-Demo2

This sample demonstrates the use of the official Ionic plugin for Zebra devices.

For clarity, this plugin is supported by Ionic and was developed independently of Zebra

Notes

• The Ionic zebra-scanner plugin only controls (and replaces) the DataWedge API.
• This application has been tested and developed using a TC52ax running DataWedge 11.2.48. Although this app should work on older versions of DataWedge, perhaps as early as 6.5, I have not tested that.
• On launch, a DataWedge profile will be created, configured and associated with this application

I also developed another Ionic Capacitor demo application, https://github.com/darryncampbell/DataWedge-Ionic-Capacitor-Demo, the difference between this app and that app is as follows:

• https://github.com/darryncampbell/DataWedge-Ionic-Capacitor-Demo uses my cordova Plugin to interact with the DataWedge API
• https://github.com/darryncampbell/DataWedge-Ionic-Capacitor-Demo2 uses Ionic's zebra-scanner
