A QR code & Barcode Scanner for React Native Projects.
For React Native developers that need to scan barcodes and QR codes in their apps, this package is a useful resource. It supports React Native's new Fabric Native architecture and was created in Kotlin and Objective-C.
With this package, users can quickly and easily scan barcodes and QR codes with their device's camera. Using this package, several types of codes can be scanned, and it is simple to use.
If you want to provide your React Native app the ability to read barcodes and QR codes, you should definitely give this package some thought.
The @pushpendersingh/react-native-scanner package also includes a flashlight feature that can be turned on and off. This can be useful when scanning QR codes in low light conditions.
Open your project's Info.plist and add the following lines inside the outermost <dict> tag:
<key>NSCameraUsageDescription</key>
<string>Your message to user when the camera is accessed for the first time</string>Open your project's Podfile and add enable the new architecture:
:fabric_enabled => true,
Run below command to enable the new architecture in IOS folder
bundle install && RCT_NEW_ARCH_ENABLED=1 bundle exec pod install
Open your project's AndroidManifest.xml and add the following lines inside the <manifest> tag:
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.CAMERA" />
<uses-feature android:name="android.hardware.camera.any" />Open your project's gradle.properties and add enable the new architecture:
newArchEnabled=true

To use @pushpendersingh/react-native-scanner, import the @pushpendersingh/react-native-scanner module and use the <ReactNativeScannerView /> tag. More usage examples can be seen under the examples/ folder.
Basic usage
Here is an example of basic usage:
import React, { useEffect, useState } from 'react';
import {
Alert,
Platform,
useWindowDimensions,
Text,
SafeAreaView
} from 'react-native';
import { request, PERMISSIONS, openSettings, RESULTS } from 'react-native-permissions';
import { ReactNativeScannerView } from "@pushpendersingh/react-native-scanner";
export default function App() {
const { height, width } = useWindowDimensions();
const [isCameraPermissionGranted, setIsCameraPermissionGranted] = useState(false);
useEffect(() => {
checkCameraPermission();
}, []);
const checkCameraPermission = async () => {
request(Platform.OS === 'ios' ? PERMISSIONS.IOS.CAMERA : PERMISSIONS.ANDROID.CAMERA)
.then(async (result: any) => {
switch (result) {
case RESULTS.UNAVAILABLE:
// console.log('This feature is not available (on this device / in this context)');
break;
case RESULTS.DENIED:
Alert.alert("Permission Denied", "You need to grant camera permission first");
openSettings();
break;
case RESULTS.GRANTED:
setIsCameraPermissionGranted(true);
break;
case RESULTS.BLOCKED:
Alert.alert("Permission Blocked", "You need to grant camera permission first");
openSettings();
break;
}
})
};
if (isCameraPermissionGranted) {
return (
<SafeAreaView style={{ flex: 1 }}>
<ReactNativeScannerView
style={{ height, width }}
onQrScanned={(value: any) => {
console.log(value.nativeEvent);
}}
/>
</SafeAreaView>
);
} else {
return (
<Text style={{ fontSize: 30, color: 'red' }}>
You need to grant camera permission first
</Text>
);
}
}Flashlight Feature
To use the flashlight feature, add the following code to your project:
import React, {useEffect, useRef, useState} from 'react';
import {
Alert,
Platform,
useWindowDimensions,
Text,
SafeAreaView,
TouchableOpacity,
} from 'react-native';
import {
request,
PERMISSIONS,
openSettings,
RESULTS,
} from 'react-native-permissions';
import {
ReactNativeScannerView,
Commands,
} from '@pushpendersingh/react-native-scanner';
export default function App() {
const {height, width} = useWindowDimensions();
const [isCameraPermissionGranted, setIsCameraPermissionGranted] =
useState(false);
const cameraRef = useRef(null);
useEffect(() => {
checkCameraPermission();
return () => {
if(cameraRef.current) {
Commands.releaseCamera(cameraRef.current);
}
};
}, []);
const enableFlashlight = () => {
Commands.enableFlashlight(cameraRef.current);
};
const disableFlashlight = () => {
Commands.disableFlashlight(cameraRef.current);
};
const checkCameraPermission = async () => {
request(
Platform.OS === 'ios'
? PERMISSIONS.IOS.CAMERA
: PERMISSIONS.ANDROID.CAMERA,
).then(async (result: any) => {
switch (result) {
case RESULTS.UNAVAILABLE:
break;
case RESULTS.DENIED:
Alert.alert(
'Permission Denied',
'You need to grant camera permission first',
);
openSettings();
break;
case RESULTS.GRANTED:
setIsCameraPermissionGranted(true);
break;
case RESULTS.BLOCKED:
Alert.alert(
'Permission Blocked',
'You need to grant camera permission first',
);
openSettings();
break;
}
});
};
if (isCameraPermissionGranted) {
return (
<SafeAreaView style={{flex: 1}}>
<ReactNativeScannerView
ref={ref => (cameraRef.current = ref)}
style={{height, width}}
onQrScanned={(value: any) => {
console.log(value.nativeEvent);
}}
/>
<TouchableOpacity
style={{
position: 'absolute',
bottom: 20,
left: 20,
padding: 10,
backgroundColor: 'blue',
borderRadius: 10,
}}
onPress={enableFlashlight}>
<Text>Turn ON</Text>
</TouchableOpacity>
<TouchableOpacity
style={{
position: 'absolute',
bottom: 20,
right: 20,
padding: 10,
backgroundColor: 'blue',
borderRadius: 10,
}}
onPress={disableFlashlight}>
<Text>Turn OFF</Text>
</TouchableOpacity>
</SafeAreaView>
);
} else {
return (
<Text style={{fontSize: 30, color: 'red'}}>
You need to grant camera permission first
</Text>
);
}
}propType: func.isRequired
default: (e) => (console.log('QR code scanned!', e))
In the event that a QR code or barcode is detected in the camera's view, this specified method will be called.
The @pushpendersingh/react-native-scanner package also includes a few native commands that can be used to control the camera and flashlight.
This command is used to turn on the flashlight.
if(cameraRef.current) {
Commands.enableFlashlight(cameraRef.current);
}This command is used to turn off the flashlight.
if(cameraRef.current) {
Commands.disableFlashlight(cameraRef.current);
}This command is used to release the camera.
if(cameraRef.current) {
Commands.releaseCamera(cameraRef.current);
