Barcode Plugin

Details
Scan barcodes and QR codes using this plugin for mobile apps
Read more

Designed for mobile apps, this plugin enables an app to scan 1D and 2D barcodes (such as QR codes, Data Matrix, and Aztec codes). See the complete list of encoding types below.

 

How to use this plugin?

Create your own logic

Use the ScanBarcode client action to open the camera and start the scanning session. If a 1D or 2D barcode is scanned successfully, the result will be available in the output parameter ScanResult. The usage of the front or back camera can be defined by setting a CameraDirection parameter to either “front” or “back” in the Settings parameter. You can also enable or disable the flash and add a scan button to the native side for additional control of the scanning event.

 

Use Accelerators

You can implement the ScanCode block included in the plugin to accelerate development. Drag and drop it onto the screen, define a handler action, and assign its output parameter to a local variable.

Does not work well as PWA.  Inconsistent and ultimately not useable for production PWA applications.

Work pretty good with "normal" qr codes but dont work with qr codes containing non-text characters, because it forces the result as a string. It should return the binary data along the text at least.

It works as an app but it fails as a PWA, I get a Cordova not available error.
