Introduction
A React component for reading QR codes from the webcam. It uses the WebRTC standards for reading webcam data and jsQR is used for detecting QR codes in that data. To optimise the speed and experience, a web-worker is used to offload the heavy QR code algorithm on a separate process. The web worker is inlined and loaded on creation of the component. Thanks to initial repo https://github.com/JodusNodus/react-qr-reader

Known Issues
- Due to browser implementations the camera can only be accessed over https or localhost.
- Not compatible with macOS/iOS Safari. Use
legacyMode
to support these platforms. - In Firefox a prompt will be shown to the user asking which camera to use, so
facingMode
will not affect it.
Install
npm install --save react-qr-scanner
Example
import React, { Component } from 'react'
import QrReader from 'react-qr-scanner'
class Test extends Component {
constructor(props){
super(props)
this.state = {
delay: 100,
result: 'No result',
}
this.handleScan = this.handleScan.bind(this)
}
handleScan(data){
this.setState({
result: data,
})
}
handleError(err){
console.error(err)
}
render(){
const previewStyle = {
height: 240,
width: 320,
}
return(
<div>
<QrReader
delay={this.state.delay}
style={previewStyle}
onError={this.handleError}
onScan={this.handleScan}
/>
<p>{this.state.result}</p>
</div>
)
}
}
Props
onScan
Type: function
, Required, Argument: result
Scan event handler. Called every scan with the decoded value or null
if no QR code was found.
onError
Type: function
, Required, Argument: error
Function to call when an error occurs such as:
- Not supported platform
- The lack of available devices
onLoad
Type: function
, Optional
Called when the component is ready for use.
onImageLoad
Type: function
, Optional, Argument: React img onLoad event
Called when the image in legacyMode is loaded.
delay
Type: number
, Optional, Default: 500
The delay between scans in milliseconds. To disable the interval pass in false
.
facingMode
Type: string
, Optional
Specify which camera direction should be used (if available). Options: front
and rear
.
legacyMode
Type: boolean
, Optional, Default: false
.
If the device does not allow camera access (e.g. IOS Browsers, Safari) you can enable legacyMode to allow the user to take a picture (On a mobile device) or use an existing one. To trigger the image dialog just call the method openImageDialog
from the parent component. Warning You must call the method from a user action (eg. click event on some element).
maxImageSize
Type: number
, Optional, Default: 1500
.
If legacyMode
is active then the image will be downscaled to the given value while keepings its aspect ratio. Allowing larger images will increase the accuracy but it will also slow down the processing time.
style
Type: object
, Optional
Styling for the preview element. This will be a video
or an img
when legacymode
is true
. Warning The preview will keep its aspect ratio, to disable this set the CSS property objectFit to fill
.
className
Type: string
, Optional
ClassName for the container element.
chooseDeviceId
Type: function
, Optional, Arguments: (1) video devices matching facingMode
, (2) all video devices
Called when choosing which device to use for scanning. By default chooses the first video device matching facingMode
, if no devices match the first video device found is choosen.
