Barcode Scanner Extension

Installation

Smartface Barcode Extension can be installed via npm easily from our public npm repository. Execute this command on your scripts directory:

yarn add @smartface/extension-barcode

How to use

• Import extension with

import { BarcodeScanner } from "@smartface/extension-barcode";

• 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();

import { BarcodeScanner } from "@smartface/extension-barcode";
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.

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.CAMERA" />
<uses-feature android:name="android.hardware.camera" />
<uses-feature android:name="android.hardware.camera.autofocus" />

There are some examples in sample folder. You can use them.
