## When to use this skill
**ALWAYS use this skill when the user mentions:**
- NFC tag reading or writing in a Tauri app
- NFC session lifecycle (start, scan, stop)
- NFC hardware availability checks on mobile
**Trigger phrases include:**
- "NFC", "NFC tag", "near field", "NFC read", "NFC write", "tap to scan"
## How to use this skill
1. **Install the NFC plugin**:
```bash
cargo add tauri-plugin-nfc
```
2. **Register the plugin** in your Tauri builder:
```rust
tauri::Builder::default()
.plugin(tauri_plugin_nfc::init())
```
3. **Configure capabilities** in `src-tauri/capabilities/default.json`:
```json
{ "permissions": ["nfc:allow-scan", "nfc:allow-write"] }
```
4. **Start an NFC scan session from the frontend**:
```typescript
import { scan } from '@tauri-apps/plugin-nfc';
const tag = await scan();
console.log('Tag ID:', tag.id);
console.log('Records:', tag.records);
```
5. **Manage session lifecycle**: start scanning, process results, and stop the session when done
6. **Validate tag data** before processing and provide user feedback for successful/failed scans
## Outputs
- NFC plugin setup with scan and write capabilities
- Session lifecycle management pattern
