Examples
With event emitter
'use strict';
const smartcard = require('smartcard');
const Devices = smartcard.Devices;
const devices = new Devices();
devices.on('device-activated', (event => {
console.log(`Device '${event.device}' activated`);
event.devices.map((device, index) => {
console.log(`Device #${index + 1}: '${device.name}'`);

}));
Using promises
'use strict';
const smartcard = require('smartcard');
const Devices = smartcard.Devices;
const devices = new Devices();
devices.onActivated().then(event => {
console.log(`Device '${event.device}' activated`);
event.devices.map((device, index) => {
