How to use

  • Import extension with

  • Create an instance of BarcodeScanner. Result will be handled in onResult callback.
const barcodeScanner = new BarcodeScanner({
    layout: myFlexLayout, // Required
    width: 200, // Required
    height: 200, // Required
});
barcodeScanner.on(BarcodeScanner.Events.Result, ({ barcode }) => {
    let { text, format } = barcode;
    alert(text);
    barcodeScanner.stopCamera();
    barcodeScanner.hide();
})
  • Finally call show method with no parameters. Camera permissions must be granted before running show method.
barcodeScanner.show();

barcodeScanner.onResult = ({ barcode }) => {
    if (barcode.format === BarcodeScanner.Format.QR_CODE) {
        console.log("This is a qr code");
    }
};
barcodeScanner.on(BarcodeScanner.Events.Result, ({ barcode }) => {
    if (barcode.format === BarcodeScanner.Format.QR_CODE) {
        console.log("This is a qr code");
    }
})

Notes

  • If there is a need for closing the scanner, it needs to be implemented by the developer. For Android onBackButtonPressed needs to be implemented.
  • Scanner does not hide automatically when scanned
  • A scanner instance can be used only for once per image scan. For each scan action, a new BarcodeScanner instance should be created and used
  • For Android, if there is an active textbox (keyboard is visible), developer needs to close the keyboard before showing the scanner.
  • It is advised to call show method with a timeout value for rendering performance.

Permissions

For iOS, you have to add camera permission to Info.plist.

<key>NSCameraUsageDescription</key>
<string>${PRODUCT_NAME} Camera Usage</string>

For Android, you have to add camera permission to AndroidManifest.xml.
