I wrote this answer, because my Barcode Scanner Motorola LS1203 generated keypress event, so I can’t use Utkanos’s solution.
My solution is:
var BarcodeScanerEvents = function() {
this.initialize.apply(this, arguments);
};
BarcodeScanerEvents.prototype = {
initialize: function() {
$(document).on({
keyup: $.proxy(this._keyup, this)
});
},
_timeoutHandler: 0,
_inputString: '',
_keyup: function (e) {
if (this._timeoutHandler) {
clearTimeout(this._timeoutHandler);
this._inputString += String.fromCharCode(e.which);
}
this._timeoutHandler = setTimeout($.proxy(function () {
if (this._inputString.length <= 3) {
this._inputString = '';
return;
}
$(document).trigger('onbarcodescaned', this._inputString);
this._inputString = '';
}, this), 20);
}
};
