vision-camera-barcode-scanner

Features

High performance barcode scanner for React Native using VisionCamera.

- Modern and future-proof: Built on react-native-vision-camera with minimal native dependencies for each platforms to minimize future build-failure risk.

- Minimal footprint: Leverages Google's MLKit BarcodeScanner on Android and Apple's Vision VNDetectBarcodesRequest.

- Powerful & Performant: The implementation has been tailored for advanced use cases where performance is critical. Scanning barcodes is butter smooth at 30fps, and you can customize the detection speed loop (detection fps).

- Hooks based: Exposes easy-to-use hooks useBarcodeScanner to quickly get started

Install

> [!WARNING]
> The project is currently trying to closely track the react-native-vision-camera v4,
> The latest 0.11+ releases are made to work with the latest react-native-vision-camera release only (currently 4.0.0)

``bash
npm install @mgcrea/vision-camera-barcode-scanner


or

yarn add @mgcrea/vision-camera-barcode-scanner

or

pnpm add @mgcrea/vision-camera-barcode-scanner
`

$3

This package relies on:

- react-native-vision-camera@>=3
- react-native-worklets-core

You must add them as dependencies to your project:

`bash
npm install react-native-vision-camera react-native-worklets-core


or

yarn add react-native-vision-camera react-native-worklets-core

or

pnpm add react-native-vision-camera react-native-worklets-core
`

Then you must follow their respective installation instructions:

- react-native-worklets-core

Quickstart

`tsx
import {
CameraHighlights,
useBarcodeScanner,
} from "@mgcrea/vision-camera-barcode-scanner";
import type { FunctionComponent } from "react";
import { StyleSheet } from "react-native";

export const App: FunctionComponent = () => {
// @NOTE you must properly ask for camera permissions first!
// You should use PermissionsAndroid for Android and Camera.requestCameraPermission() on iOS.

const { props: cameraProps, highlights } = useBarcodeScanner({
fps: 5,
barcodeTypes: ["qr", "ean-13"], // optional
onBarcodeScanned: (barcodes) => {
"worklet";
console.log(
Scanned ${barcodes.length} codes with values=${JSON.stringify(
barcodes.map(({ value }) => value),
)} !,
);
},
});

const devices = useCameraDevices();
const device = devices.find(({ position }) => position === "back");
const format = useCameraFormat(device, [
{ videoResolution: { width: 1920, height: 1080 } },
]);
if (!device) {
return null;
}

return (

style={StyleSheet.absoluteFill}
device={device}
isActive
{...cameraProps}
/>


);
};
