# node-usb-barcode-scanner

Package to help work with USB HID based barcode scanners in nodejs on Linux and OSX.

[*Does not work on Windows*](https://github.com/node-hid/node-hid#windows-notes)

## Usage

```javascript

var usbScanner = require('../usbscanner').usbScanner;

var getDevices = require('../usbscanner').getDevices;

//get array of attached HID devices

var connectedHidDevices = getDevices()

//print devices

console.log(connectedHidDevices)

//initialize new usbScanner - takes optional parmeters vendorId and hidMap - check source for details

var scanner = new usbScanner();

//scanner emits a data event once a barcode has been read and parsed

scanner.on("data", function(code){

	console.log("recieved code : " + code);

});
