Working with thermal printer via bluetooth (Flutter)

blue_thermal_printer

https://pub.dev/packages/blue_thermal_printer

A new Flutter plugin for connecting to thermal printer via bluetooth (Android Only), this plugin is still under development Note: Migrate your project to AndroidX

Getting Started

1. Depend on it

Add this to your package's pubspec.yaml file:

dependencies:
  blue_thermal_printer: ^any

2. Install it

You can install packages from the command line:

with Flutter:

$ flutter packages get

Alternatively, your editor might support flutter packages get. Check the docs for your editor to learn more. 3. Import it

Now in your Dart code, you can use:

 import 'package:blue_thermal_printer/blue_thermal_printer.dart';

EXAMPLE:

import 'dart:io';
import 'dart:typed_data';
import 'package:flutter/material.dart';
import 'dart:async';
import 'package:blue_thermal_printer/blue_thermal_printer.dart';
import 'package:flutter/services.dart';
import 'package:path_provider/path_provider.dart';

 @override

    final filename = 'yourlogo.png';
    var bytes = await rootBundle.load("assets/images/yourlogo.png");

    writeToFile(bytes,'$dir/$filename');
    setState(() {
     pathImage='$dir/$filename';
   });
