Some useful features not found in the web bluetooth spec

[ghost]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Some useful features found in other common bluetooth plugins/modules.

This plugin seems most promising for the future as it uses modern android (at least, can't speak for ios) features and seems relatively well designed. I might be wanting too much from it though.

• reporting duplicate advertisements - boolean in scan filters to allow reporting the same device as many times as it advertises
• scan timeout - ability to restrict the time spent scanning
• bonding - but maybe i missed that when reading the spec

Anything else that might seem useful from: https://github.com/randdusing/cordova-plugin-bluetoothle

Thank you for your input. I will consider this when planning the next features.

Out of curiosity, what's your use case for "reporting duplicate advertisements"?

[ghost]

Sometimes I have 20+ BLE devices that I need data from (and quickly). and due to device connection limits I can't keep a constant connection to all of them. I instead send the the data in the advertisement packets. I haven't yet had a central device that can handle extended and periodic advertisements, so I can't do it the way I'd prefer.

• requestLEScan (which allows you to get advertisement data)
• stopLEScan
• allowDuplicates
• bonding -> Bonding #50

some sort of listener subscription to be notified when bluetooth is turned on/off to facilitate an event driven connect/disconnect of devices TIA

Thanks for creating this plugin - very clean to use.
Registering for disconnect events as per @tellybrown's comment above would be a most welcome addition. Use case for me is when devices go out of range or are turned off.

@tellybrown @BillBu Thanks for your feedback. I just released v0.2.0 with the following features:

• getEnabled
• startEnabledNotifications
• stopEnabledNotifications
• optional onDisconnect callback for connect

I hope this will be useful.

That's fantastic @pwespi thank you so much. I'll check it out this week.

@tellybrown @BillBu Thanks for your feedback. I just released v0.2.0 with the following features:

Sounds like a great addition. Can you create a v0.2.0 release tag?

Thanks!

Done. It was already published on npm, but I forgot to push the git tag. Thanks for letting me know.

Thank you for all your feedback.

I've created a new issue for bonding #50.

I think all the other points mentioned here have been addressed, so I'm closing this issue. If you have any other bugs or feature requests, feel free to open new issues.
