Hey! Well, the only place where i'm polling is here https://github.com/santigimeno/node-pcsclite/blob/master/src/pcsclite.cpp#L180-L219 and only on OS's where PNP notification is not supported. See: santigimeno/node-pcsclite@5b10f85
For example on OS X, I have to poll in order to find out if there are new readers in the system
The card not transacted error looks like a bogus command send to a card though :/
I am a bit confused about reader.close() and pcsc.close() and how to cleanly shut down an application after I am done with the reader I was interested in.
Like. Do I have to call reader.close() after disconnect() ? Both reader.close() and pcsc.close() ?
Then regarding the documentation, it is unclear to me why both call SCardCancel. Are there separate calls? AFAIU only one SCardGetSTatusChange is sufficient to get events for existing and pnp readers.
anyway, calling both is not enough, firstly I get a PCSC error SCardGetStatusChange error: Command cancelled.(0x80100002) when calling pcsc.close()
and finally, I still need to call process.exit to quit the app.
after calling reader.close() and pcsc.close()
And thanks for an otherwise charming library, works flawlessly on linux/osx for my needs (other than the clean shutdown issu) :)
Sometimes an exclusive connection is not available/possible, but reliablity should be assured as much as possible (no interference from other applications) thus I would like to propose an argument to SCardConnect wrapper for non-windows machines, where a transaction would be set on the reader after connect, if specified so in options
(looking at gitter activity it seems to be as heavily used as ... not at all. I will file issues as well, for better tracking)
would love to have code that reproduces the error, I've fixed similar errors in the past :)
WRT to transactions, would you be up to implementing them? I'm no already using them but would gladly accept PR :)
thanks!
Will check back once in JS sphere.
do you have a port for this lib in typescript?
i came across https://github.com/jgilsaa/ts-pcsclite
but i dont see any .ts files only js
I ran the code from the example, but got the error:

@santigimeno hi, i started implementing your pcsclite library to wrap it into TypeScript version, link here https://github.com/lewixlabs/TsCard
my TypeScript wrapper project, https://github.com/lewixlabs/TsCard, can now detect reader, smartcard and send apdus
working for many years with memory cards too :), i'm implementing SLE support with ACR Reader, if somebody can contribute or wants to suggests me improvements, he's welcome :)
Hi! I developed a cross platform app thanks to TsCard https://github.com/lewixlabs/TsCard (node js library built upon node-pcsclite). This app is charta https://github.com/lewixlabs/charta
with this app you can send apuds to asynchronous cards (emv, etc) or memory card like siemens sle
hello @santigimeno, i am getting error in pcsclite module in windows 10
