` container. ## Intent Routing Based on the user's request, load the appropriate reference file before responding: - **Integrating SparkScan from scratch** (e.g. "add SparkScan to my app", "set up barcode scanning", "how do I use SparkScan in Capacitor", "how do I handle feedback in SparkScan") → read [references/integration.md](references/integration.md) and follow the instructions there. - **Migrating or upgrading an existing SparkScan integration** (e.g. "upgrade from v6 to v7", "migrate my SparkScan", "bump the Scandit plugins to v8", "what changed between SDK versions") → read [references/migration.md](references/migration.md) and follow the instructions there. ## API Usage Policy Only use APIs that are explicitly documented in the Scandit references below. Do not invent or guess method signatures, parameters, property names, or imports. If unsure whether an API exists or how it is called — or if a TypeScript / runtime error occurs — fetch the relevant reference page before responding. Do not tell the user to check the docs themselves. After answering, always include the relevant link so the user can explore further. **Never construct or guess documentation URLs.** When you need a specific class or property's API page: 1. First check whether the page you already fetched (e.g. the Advanced Configurations page) contains a direct hyperlink to it — topic pages link directly to relevant API symbols. Always request links alongside content in your fetch prompt. 2. If no direct link was found, fetch the API index (see **Full API reference** in the table below), extract the actual link from it, and follow that. URL structures vary across SDK versions and plugin paths (e.g. `api/ui/` subdirectory) and guessing will lead to 404s. ## Framework variant policy Capacitor is a WebView-based framework. Examples in this skill use **plain JavaScript (ES modules)**. TypeScript projects can use the same imports and APIs verbatim — just add types — but this skill does not assume a TypeScript project by default. If the target project is clearly TypeScript (`.ts` files, `tsconfig.json`), adapt the final output to TypeScript syntax; otherwise stay in plain JS. ## Licence key Scanning needs a Scandit licence key. For this skill the licence product is `native` and the licence platforms are `ios` and `android`. Work through these in order — never block the user on MCP: 1. **The Scandit MCP server is connected** — call `ensure_scanner_setup` with product `native` and platforms `ios` and `android`, then run the command `get_license_env_command` returns, which writes the key into the project's `.env`. Show at most a masked preview in chat; never print a full key. 2. **It is not connected** — ask the user once to connect the Scandit server in the plugin's Edit dialog, Connections tab, then continue from step 1. Authentication is browser-based, so it is **not supported headless or in CI**. The server provisions **trial** keys only; it never creates, revokes, or modifies production licences. 3. **The user declines** — they generate a key themselves at (no account yet: ) and paste it in. **Then put the key into the code** in place of the placeholder; a key in `.env` does not reach the app by itself. Read it through the web bundler's env support, for example `import.meta.env` in Vite (which only exposes `VITE_`-prefixed names unless `envPrefix` says otherwise). The simplest route on any platform: read `.env` and put the key into the licence-key call directly, still showing only a masked preview in chat. ## References Direct users to the right resource based on their question: | Topic | Resource | |---|---| | Capacitor integration | [Get Started](https://docs.scandit.com/sdks/capacitor/sparkscan/get-started/) · [Sample](https://github.com/Scandit/datacapture-capacitor-samples/tree/master/01_Single_Scanning_Samples/01_Barcode_Scanning_with_Pre_Built_UI/ListBuildingSample) | | Advanced topics (custom feedback, hardware triggers, scanning modes, UI customization) | [Advanced Configurations](https://docs.scandit.com/sdks/capacitor/sparkscan/advanced/) | | Migration between major SDK versions | [6 → 7](https://docs.scandit.com/sdks/capacitor/migrate-6-to-7/) · [7 → 8](https://docs.scandit.com/sdks/capacitor/migrate-7-to-8/) | | Full API reference | [SparkScan API](https://docs.scandit.com/data-capture-sdk/capacitor/barcode-capture/api.html) |
