### node-nfc-nci

#### depedencies

cmake

`sudo apt install -y cmake automake autoconf libtool pkg-config`

linux_libnfc-nci - https://github.com/NXPNFCLinux/linux_libnfc-nci

`git clone https://github.com/NXPNFCLinux/linux_libnfc-nci.git`

`./bootstrap`

`./configure --enable-alt`

`make`

`sudo make install`

It installs the libnfc-nci-linux library to /usr/local/lib target directory. This path must be
added to LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variable for proper reference to the library
during linking/execution of application.

#### setup

`npm install node-nfc-nci`

https://www.npmjs.com/package/node-nfc-nci

#### documentation

include
`const nci = require("node-nfc-nci");`

module exports nci interface object with single method `listen`

`listen(callback)` - will attempt to initialize the device via the `linux_libnfc-nci` library on a new thread and immediately call the callback with a `context` object.

`context` - context is an event emitter and interface to setting tag write for the next tag to arrive.

###### events

`error` - `message` - emits on any error, even for errors when attempting to initialize the device.
`arrived` - `tag` - emits on NFC tag arrival
`departed` -`tag` - emits on NFC tag departure. Provide a copy of the original arrived tag. If NDEF data has been updated during the tag's presence it will not be reflected in departure.
`written` - `tag, previous` - emits on successful tag NDEF write. Provides updated tag and a copy of the original arrived tag prior to update.

###### tag object

example
```
{
"technology": {
"code": 9,
"name": "Type A - Mifare Ul",
"type": "MIFARE_UL"
},
"uid": {
"id": "04:e1:5f:d2:9c:39:80",
"type": "NFCID1",
"length": 7
},
"ndef": {
"size": 868,
"length": 18,
"read": 11,
"writeable": true,
"type": "Text",
"content": "hello world"
}
}
```

##### tag write

via context

`context.setNextWrite(type, content)` - set data to write for next tag arrival, this will attempt to indiscriminately write the next tag that arrives.
`context.clearNextWrite()` - clears the pending next write.
`context.hasNextWrite()` - flag to check if there is a next write pending.
`context.immediateWrite(type, content)` - attempts to immediately write to the device that is present. However, tag `arrived` event provides a `tag.write` function which is an alias of `immediateWrite` but likely more practical because `immediateWrite` depends on a device being present.

via tag

`tag.write(type, content)` - attempt immediate write to which ever tag is present. This write does not guarantee it will write only to the particular tag `tag` describes, as it's only a convenience alias to `context.immediateWrite`

Acceptable types
- `Text` - writes `en` lang text to the NDEF content

#### example

```
const nci = require("node-nfc-nci");

nci.listen(context => {
context.on("error", msg => console.log(msg));

context.on("arrived", tag => {
console.log(`ARRIVED: ${JSON.stringify(tag)}`);

if (!context.hasNextWrite()) {
if (tag.uid.id === "04:e1:5f:d2:9c:39:80") {
tag.write("Text", "hello world");
}
}
});

context.on("written", (tag, previous) => {
console.log(`PREVIOUS: ${JSON.stringify(previous)}`);
console.log(`UPDATED: ${JSON.stringify(tag)}`);
});

context.on("departed", tag => {
console.log(`DEPARTED: ${JSON.stringify(tag)}`);

if (tag.ndef.content !== "foobar") {
context.setNextWrite("Text", "foobar"); // will attempt write on any next tag
}
});
});
```
