Write/Read NFC Tags

[DeastinY]

This is probably more of a feature for roasts.
I placed NFC tags on my coffee containers and store information there.
Reading/Writing those from the app directly would be amazing!
NFC is not standardized as part of any HTML specification, so not sure if ionic could do that

Could you please describe me a workflow, how you would like to see/use it?

As part of the beans, or a new section?

[DeastinY]

Personally I'd say part of beans:

Instead of just creating beans also have an import button to import from tag.
Then within the bean have a save-to-nfc that writes some default information such as;
Name, date, degree, roaster, origin, .. best case have this configurable 😂
Photos won't possible I think, but the most important part would be name and date.

Not sure how much information would fit on a tag. Worst case there could be an alternative where it would just save a link to beanconqueror roast 45 and open that when you scan it. Can't be shared with anyone then though.

Workflow would be:

• Roast beans
• Enter details into BC
• Save bean data to NFC tag on bag of beans
• Share bean bag with all information with friend

Probably along the lines of the KaffeeNetz export?

Reading is possible with iOS11+
With iOS 13 Beta, its possible to write, but the official cordova plugins does not support them actual:
There is a fork, but don't think i gonna use this on start: https://github.com/iotize-sas/device-com-nfc.cordova

Else here goes the complete discussion: chariotsolutions/phonegap-nfc#369

too bad there doesn't seem to be any more active development on phonegap-nfc :/
Still something to keep in mind for the future though maybe.
Thanks for looking into it!

Fixed in phonegap-nfc chariotsolutions/phonegap-nfc#399

This feature was idle for long time, so closed.
If needed please reopen a new ticket.

Just had a similar thought. Having an NFC tag on each container would launch Beanconqueror and start a „repeat“ for the last brew of this roast. Are there any updates to the NFC framework support?
