Biblio::RFID(3pm)

💖 Biblio::RFID 💖

okay so bestie, welcome to Biblio::RFID — it's a Perl thing from the User Contributed Perl Documentation corner of the universe, and it's literally here to make RFID readers talk to your library. no cap. 🦋

---

✨ NAME ✨

Biblio::RFID — perl tools to use different RFID readers for library use 💅

---

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

So the whole main character idea here? Develop a simple API to a reader, and then stack useful abstractions on top of it so you can quickly write apps that respond to tags which come in range of the RFID reader using Biblio::RFID::Reader. 🎀

Writing support for new RFID readers should be easy. Like, genuinely. Biblio::RFID::Reader::API has all the docs on writing support for different readers — go read it, it's giving tutorial energy. 📖

Currently, there are two serial RFID readers based on Biblio::RFID::Reader::Serial that are implemented:

• Biblio::RFID::Reader::3M810 🔥
• Biblio::RFID::Reader::CPRM02 🔥

There's also a simple read-only reader using shell commands in Biblio::RFID::Reader::librfid. she's lowkey minimal but she works 💀

For implementing an application, take a look at Biblio::RFID::Reader. 👑

"scripts/RFID-JSONP-server.pl" is an example of such an application. It's a local interface to the RFID reader and a JSONP REST server. multitasking icon behavior, honestly. ✨

"examples/koha-rfid.js" is jQuery based JavaScript code which can be inserted in Koha Library System to provide an overlay with tags in range and check-in/check-out form-fill functionality. that's the vibe. 🫶

Applications can use Biblio::RFID::RFID501, which is some kind of semi-standard 3M layout or blocks on RFID tags. iykyk. 🌈

🎀 EXPORT 🎀

Formatting functions are exported. little gift for you, bestie 💝

hex2bytes

my $bytes = hex2bytes($hex);

as_hex

print as_hex( $bytes );

hex_tag

print hex_tag $8bytes;

---

💀 WARN 💀

We are installing "warn" in the perldoc handler to control debug output based on the $Biblio::RFID::debug level. not me fiddling with warn handlers but okay periodt 💅
