This is a Cordova related question, didn't know where else to post it.
I am researching the possibility to use Cordova to build my app. The only hard part is that it needs to communicate with a magnetic card reader (for credit cards or medicare cards..in essence read channel 1-3).
The customer is going to chose a card reader so in worst case if there is no SDK I probably have to build something myself to capture the card swipe.
My question is: can this be done with Cordova, can I build my own plugin that will be able record the audio signal and process that. If this is very hard, I might do decide to go native. However, Cordova would take away building 3 versions (iOs, Android and Windows).
If i can, I will convince the customer to chose a reader that has an SDK, and then I hope I can connect Cordova with the SDK.
It is a bit of a new area for me so hence my exploratory questions.
