tibeacon

A very quick and dirty iOS Titanium module to make your app advertise an iBeacon.

See /example/app.js for a full test app with adjustable major/minor values.

REGISTER THE MODULE

Register the module with your application by editing tiapp.xml and adding:

<module platform="iphone">com.kosso.tibeacon</module>

IMPORTANT

DONT FORGET: Add the Bluetooth usage description to tiapp.xml in the section!!

Or you will crash. Hard.

<key>NSBluetoothPeripheralUsageDescription</key>
<string>To be a beacon!</string>

---

USING THE MODULE

var tibeacon = require('com.kosso.tibeacon');

// Methods

tibeacon.isAdvertising(); // boolean

tibeacon.startAdvertising(); // defaults: major:0, minor:0, uuid:moduleGUID, identifier:moduleID 

// major.minor range is 0 - 65535
// Will not set until next started if already advertising
tibeacon.minor = 4;
tibeacon.major = 10;
tibeacon.setMajor(1); 
tibeacon.setMinor(10);
tibeacon.setUuid('12345678-abcd-88cc-1111aaaa2222');


tibeacon.startAdvertising({
  identifier:'TestBeacon',
  uuid:'ffffffff-ffff-ffff-ffff-ffffffffffff',
  major:1,
  minor:60
});

tibeacon.stopAdvertising();

// While the beacon is advertising, you can update the major/minor values using:
tibeacon.updateMajorMinor({
  major:10,
  minor:3042
});

TO DO

• Set custom GUID. (Currently uses the module's one).
• Set power.
• .. get this added to other modules that don't support advertising ;)
