BarcodeScannerPlugin
Cross platform Phonegap/Cordova Plugin of the Scandit Barcode Scanner SDK for iOS and Android
Follow the detailed instructions below to add a high-performance barcode scanner to your app in 5 min.
If you don't have a Phonegap app yet, we will show you how to generate a sample app below.
Scandit Barcode Scanner SDK Plugin Integration via the Cordova Command Line Interface (CLI)
The easiest way to install the Scandit Barcode Scanner plugin into your Phonegap/Cordova project is to use the Cordova CLI.
Install Cordova CLI if it is not already installed.
Sign up and download the Scandit Barcode Scanner SDK Cordova Plugins for iOS and Android from your Scandit account. Unzip the zip to a folder of your choice.
Generate a sample Cordova project or use your existing Cordova project
To generate a sample project, use the following command line commands:
cordova create helloworld
cd hello world
cordova platform add ios
cordova platform add android- Install the Scandit Barcode Scanner Plugin using Cordova CLI
cordova plugin add <path to downloaded,unzipped ScanditSDK Plugin for Phonegap/Cordova>Start using the Scandit Barcode Scanner SDK in your html code
- Get the app key from your Scandit account
- Invoke the Scandit Barcode Scanner by invoking the cordova.exec() function with the following parameters:
cordova.exec(function(success), function(cancel), "ScanditSDK", "scan", ["ENTER YOUR APP KEY HERE",{}]);- See Scandit Barcode Scanner SDK Documentation for the full API reference.
Important(!!!):
- if you decide against using the packaged zip with the Scandit Phonegap/Cordova plugin from the downloads page of your Scandit account and use the github src of the plugin instead (not recommended!), you will need to copy the libraries and resources from the native Scandit SDK builds for iOS and Android to the locations specified in the plugins.xml file.

Subview Scanner (Scaled and Cropped)
When adding the scanner as a subview we need to additionally take care of the lifecycle events of the app. As we only need to do this for Android we have to access the device object which is available through an official plugin. Add it the following way:
cordova plugin add org.apache.cordova.device<!DOCTYPE html>
