Ranging beacons HELP :( about cordova-plugin-ibeacon HOT 3 CLOSED

Hi @radman5

Can I ask which platform are you using? An array of beacon objects are passed down in the pluginResult object, each of which contains useful information about the beacon's proximity in fields like: proximity or accuracy.

Hope this helps.

Yes that is almost exactly what I'm looking for! :) 👍

Also sort of the exact syntax used for this situation please because not only am I noob to Cordova and iOS development but also a noob to JS. :)

I'm thinking of something like this??

var closestBeacon = pluginResult[0];
if(closestBeacon.proximity == 'near')
{...}

Hi @radman5

You want to perform a sort on the array of beacon objects, based on their accuracy.
I'm a big fan of UnderscoreJS, and always advise people to use it, this time is no exception.

Once you have UnderscoreJS in your project, something like this should get you going (syntax might be invalid, this is untested code):

_.sortBy(pluginResult.beacons, function(beacon) { 
    return beacon.accuracy; 
});
