import { ScMinidriver } from '@chilkat/react-native'

function chilkatExample() {
  // This example requires the Chilkat API to have been previously unlocked.
  // See Global Unlock Sample for sample code.

  const scmd = new ScMinidriver();

  // Reader names (smart card readers or USB tokens) can be discovered
  // via List Readers or Find Smart Cards
  const readerName = 'Alcor Micro USB Smart Card Reader 0';
  try {
    scmd.acquireContext(readerName);
  } catch {
    console.log(scmd.lastErrorText);
    return;
  }

  // If successful, the name of the currently inserted smart card is available:
  console.log(`Card name: ${scmd.cardName}`);

  // Change the "user" PIN.  (Typically, you'll always be using the "user" PIN.)
  const currentPin = '0000';
  const newPin = '1234';
  const retval = scmd.pinChange('user', currentPin, newPin);
  if (retval === -1) {
    console.log('The PIN is already blocked.');

    console.log('The PinChange function failed for some unanticipated reason');

    console.log('PIN successfully changed.');
  } else {
    console.log('Current PIN is incorrect.');
    console.log(`Number of attempts remaining = ${retval}`);
