BC.js

The BC.js is implemented as an Apache Cordova / PhoneGap Plugin for smartphones and tablets.
It only supports Bluetooth Low Energy(BLE) API currently.

• Use this command to install our plugin in your Cordova/Phonegap project:
  cordova plugin add https://github.com/bcsphere/bluetooth.git
  
• Online document is here: http://www.bcsphere.org/document/
  
• BC Explorer is a useful tool to show the BLE services structure in device, we hope it will help you to start your development.

Features

Multi-platform development and deployment

• Your team will not be separated into some smaller teams to develop app for different platforms.
• With the Apache Cordova / PhoneGap Plugin technique, you can develop BLE enabled cross-platform mobile apps for e.g. iOS and Android using JavaScript, HTML5 and CSS3.
• If you are a senior Web developer and want to develop a BLE app, BC.js is your best choice, you can use uniform UI code in multi-platform.

Effective Utilization of Apache Cordova/PhoneGap Ecosystem

• PhoneGap enables the implementation of many useful plugins such as Camera/Accelerometer/Compass...
• You can implements your own plugins based on BC.js for others.
• There is many plugins implements by third party(you can find them on PlugReg), most of them are open-source.

Internet of Things

• Both Bluetooth Low Energy and JavaScript are asynchronous by their DNA,which makes them a good match.
• BLE is good enough for wireless short-range communication. But we won't be limited to BLE API.

Support platforms

• Android API 18+ (All devices with Bluetooth Low Energy HW)
• Android API 17+ (Sumsung devices with Bluetooth Low Energy HW)
• IOS 6.0.1+ (iPhone4S+/iTouch5/iPad3+/iPad-mini/iPadAir)

Backward

If your background is Java/C#/C/C++ or HW programming, you may feel confused when use functional programming language(such as javascript) for the first time.
But once you get with it, you will love it, enjoy :)
