A string containing the device's serial number.
ExamplesThis example shows how to create a convenience function that reads a single tag and then stops polling, saving battery life by cutting unneeded work. The example could easily be extended to time out after a given amount of milliseconds.
const ndefReader = new NDEFReader();
function read() {
return new Promise((resolve, reject) => {
const controller = new AbortController();
controller.signal.onabort = reject;
ndefReader.addEventListener(
"reading",
(event) => {
controller.abort();
resolve(event);
},
{ once: true },
);
ndefReader.scan({ signal: controller.signal }).catch((err) => reject(err));
});
}
read().then(({ serialNumber }) => {
console.log(serialNumber);
});
