Support for React Native Windows

[rafaelmonroy]

Is there a roadmap for support on a React Native Windows app?

Epson does provide a Windows SDK: https://c4b.epson-biz.com/modules/pos/index.php?page=single_soft&cid=6045&scat=41&pcat=52

If there are no plans this, would a PR that offers this functionality be welcomed?

HI @rafaelmonroy
For now, I have a plan for a big restructuring of the printing approach and documentation for the Native part ( in progress ).
Yes, it'd be great to have Windows support as well. So I'd appreciate any here!

Good Stuff.

@tr3v3r When can we expect the restructuring change to be released?

[tr3v3r]

@Waleed065
For now, the approach itself is finished but I need to migrate all existing methods.
I'll raise a PR tomorrow at the latest with the intermediate results.

So you can follow the proposed structure and do WIndows support in parallel

BTW you can start from "Printer Discovery", it's fine

Good to support react-native-windows version . Thank you very much , hope to hear the update soon

[rafaelmonroy]

@tr3v3r we are getting ready to begin the windows support soon, do you know if this PR will be merging soon? If not, no worries we can branch off from it to begin our work. Thanks

@rafaelmonroy hi!
Happy to hear that!

You can start from the branch since the work is still in progress.
But no major changes are planned, only bug fixes and documentation.

@rafaelmonroy just FYI version 4.0.0 is finally out!

@tr3v3r thanks for the update. We were able to successfully integrate the official epson windows sdk into a forked version of your repo using the new structure used in version 4.0.0, but due to time constraints and budget, we were only able to implement the features our business required, and at the moment have no plans to continue working on this. Would you like to see the work that was done and perhaps you can finish integrating the rest of the features?
