Maraca establishes connections between your iOS application using our iOS CaptureSDK and a web application using our CaptureJS SDK. This enables the web application to connect with our scanners and NFC readers with the same flexibilty that our iOS SDK provides.
Under the hood, Maraca is an umbrella for our iOS Capture SDK. So naturally, you need to provide credentials to get started.
The most important step is to call observeJavascriptMessageHandlers(_:)
You may provide your own Javascript Message Handler names if you're familiar with WKUserContentController. Otherwise, this can be nil.
This function enables messages containing data to be transferred from your web application using CaptureJS to your iOS application.
Inside the completion handler of beging(withAppKey:appId:developerId:completion:)
, create your WKWebView
using the public Maraca.shared.webViewConfiguration
configuration
override func viewDidLoad() {
super.viewDidLoad()
setupMaraca()
}
private func setupMaraca() {
let appKey = <Your App Key>
let appId = <Your App ID>
let developerId = <Your Developer ID>
let bundle = Bundle.main
Maraca.shared.injectCustomJavascript(mainBundle: bundle, javascriptFileNames: ["getInputForDecodedData"])
.observeJavascriptMessageHandlers(YourOwnMessageHandlers.allCases.map { $0.rawValue })
.setDelegate(to: self)
.begin(withAppKey: appKey,
appId: appId,
developerId: developerId,
completion: { [weak self] (result) in
if result == .E_NOERROR {
self?.setupUI()
} else {
// Encountered some error, inspect result
}
})
}
// Initialize WKWebView with Maraca.shared.webViewConfiguration after
// setting up Maraca
private var webview: WKWebView!
private func setupUI() {
webview = {
let w = WKWebView(frame: .zero, configuration: Maraca.shared.webViewConfiguration)
w.navigationDelegate = self
return w
}()
view.addSubview(webview)
// Set up constraints, etc..
let myWebApplicationURLString = .....
guard let url = URL(string: myWebApplicationURLString) else {
return
}
loadMyWebApplication(with: url)
}
