vision-camera-code-scanner

VisionCamera Frame Processor Plugin to read barcodes using MLKit Vision Barcode Scanning

Installation

1yarn add vision-camera-code-scanner

make sure you correctly setup react-native-reanimated and insert as a first line of your index.tsx

1import 'react-native-reanimated'

Add this to your babel.config.js

[
  'react-native-reanimated/plugin',
  {
    globals: ['__scanCodes'],
  },
]

Usage

Simply call the useScanBarcodes() hook or call scanBarcodes() inside of the useFrameProcessor() hook. In both cases you will need to pass an array of BarcodeFormat to specify the kind of barcode you want to detect.

Note: The underlying MLKit barcode reader is only created once meaning that changes to the array will not be reflected in the app.
