Support Payment with Gift Cards

Card readers have the ability to read data from any piece of plastic with a magnetic strip, including gift cards. The interaction is no different in terms of communicating with the device. When the data is returned to the JavaScript for a gift card, it's up to the developer to determine the proper way to detect that the card is a gift card and not a credit card. It could be as simple as looking at the length of the card number. When the card type is determined, similar to a credit card, a specific event (payment:gift_card_data) needs to be fired, for example:

Alloy.eventDispatcher.trigger('payment:gift_card_data', {
    track_1:e.track1,
    track_2:e.track2,
    is_contactless:e.contactless == "true"
});
