#OR
yarn add react-weblineindia-qrcode-scanner

Usage

Use the <react-weblineindia-qrcode-scanner> component:

import React, { Component } from 'react'
import QrReader from 'react-weblineindia-qrcode-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>
    )
  }
}

For Next.js Use dynamic import instead of usual import.

import dynamic from 'next/dynamic'
const QrReader = dynamic(() => import('react-weblineindia-qrcode-scanner').then((a) => a.QrReader), {ssr: false});

Available Props

| Prop | Type | default | Description | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | delay | number | 500 |The delay between scans in milliseconds. To disable the interval pass in false. | | facingMode | string | |Specify which camera direction should be used (if available). Options: front and rear. | | legacyMode | boolean |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 | number | 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 | object | | 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 | string | | ClassName for the container element. | | chooseDeviceId | function | | 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. |
