NFC
The NFC plugin allows you to read and write NFC tags. You can also beam to, and receive from, other NFC enabled devices.
Use to
- read data from NFC tags
- write data to NFC tags
- send data to other NFC enabled devices
- receive data from NFC devices
This plugin uses NDEF (NFC Data Exchange Format) for maximum compatibilty between NFC devices, tag types, and operating systems.

// Read NFC Tag - Android
// Once the reader mode is enabled, any tags that are scanned are sent to the subscriber
let flags = this.nfc.FLAG_READER_NFC_A | this.nfc.FLAG_READER_NFC_V;
this.readerMode$ = this.nfc.readerMode(flags).subscribe(
tag => console.log(JSON.stringify(tag)),
err => console.log('Error reading tag', err)
);
// Read NFC Tag - iOS
// On iOS, a NFC reader session takes control from your app while scanning tags then returns a tag
try {
let tag = await this.nfc.scanNdef();
console.log(JSON.stringify(tag));
} catch (err) {
console.log('Error reading tag', err);
