# Card Reader

A simple wrapper around [Santiago Gimeno's](https://www.npmjs.org/~sgimeno) great [pcsclite](https://github.com/santigimeno/node-pcsclite) library.

Emits events for:

* device-activated

* device-deactivated

* card-inserted

* card-removed

* issue-command

* receive-response

* error

## Examples

```javascript

var cardreader = require('../lib/card-reader');

cardreader.on('device-activated', function (reader) {

    console.log(`Device '${reader.name}' activated`);

});

cardreader.on('device-deactivated', function (reader) {

    console.log(`Device '${reader}' deactivated`);

});

cardreader.on('card-removed', function (reader) {

    console.log(`Card removed from '${reader.name}' `);

});

cardreader.on('command-issued', function (reader, command) {

    console.log(`Command '${command}' issued to '${reader.name}' `);

});

cardreader.on('response-received', function (reader, response, command) {

    console.log(`Response '${response}' received from '${reader.name}' in response to '${command}'`);

});

cardreader.on('error', function (message) {

    console.log(`Error '${message}' received`);

});

cardreader.on('card-inserted', function (reader, status) {

   console.log(`Card inserted into '${reader.name}' `);

   // issue a command...

   // ...either callback style

   cardreader.issueCommand('00A404000E315041592E5359532E4444463031', function (err, response) {

       if (err) {

           console.error(err);

       } else {

            console.log(`Response '${response.toString('hex')}`);

       }

   });

       

   // ...or as a promise

   cardreader

        .issueCommand('00A404000E315041592E5359532E4444463031')

        .then(function (response) {

            console.log(`Response '${response.toString('hex')}`);

        }).catch(function (error) {

            console.error(error);

        });

});

```

## Compatible Readers

Tested on Mac OSX with the SCM SCR3500 Smart Card Reader. 

This library *should* work with most PC/SC readers - I'll update this page when I get to test others.

If you know of any other devices that work please let me know.
