node-pcsclite
=============
Bindings over pcsclite to access Smart Cards
Installation
============
In order to install the package you need to have installed in the system the
pcsclite libraries. In Debian/Ubuntu:
apt-get install libpcsclite1 libpcsclite-dev
Once they are installed just run:
npm install pcsclite
To run any code you will also need to have installed the pcsc daemon:
apt-get install pcscd
Example
=======
var pcsc = require('pcsclite');
var pcsc = pcsc();
/* Check for new card reader detection */
pcsc.on('reader', function(reader) {
console.log('New reader detected', reader.name);
/* Check for reader status changes such a new card insertion */
reader.on('status', function(status) {
console.log('Status(', this.name, '):', status);
/* check what has changed */
var changes = this.state ^ status.state;
if (changes) {
if ((changes & this.SCARD_STATE_EMPTY) && (status.state & this.SCARD_STATE_EMPTY)) {
console.log("card removed");/* card removed */
} else if ((changes & this.SCARD_STATE_PRESENT) && (status.state & this.SCARD_STATE_PRESENT)) {
console.log("card inserted");/* card inserted */
}
}
});
/* You can connect to a smart card */
reader.connect(function(err, protocol) {
if (err) {
console.log(err);
} else {
console.log('Protocol(', this.name, '):', protocol);
/* And transmit data */
reader.transmit(new Buffer([0x00, 0xB0, 0x00, 0x00, 0x20]), 40, 1, function(err, data) {
if (err) console.log(err);
else console.log('Data received', data);
})
}
});
reader.on('end', function() {
console.log('Reader', this.name, 'removed');
});
reader.on('error', function(err) {
console.log('Error(', this.name, '):', err.message);
});
});
pcsc.on('error', function(err) {
console.log('PCSC error', err.message);
});
