Install

npm install @anyline/anyline-js

Usage

• Copy the content of anylinejs to your webserver. In some cases you need to configure your webserver to serve data and wasm.gz files.

Web SDK has to be served from a web server that supports HTTPS.

• Import Web SDK

import { init } from '@anyline/anyline-js';

Alternatively you can also directly import anyline.js using a script tag:

<script src="anyline.js"></script>

This will expose anylinejs to the window scope:

const { init } = window.anylinejs;

• Initialize Web SDK

const anyline = init({
  preset: 'meter', // universalid_mrz, ocr, ...
  license: 'enter_your_license_key_here',
  // html container where anylineJS should be mounted to
  element: document.getElementById('root'),
  // location of the data files from step 1 (can also be an https link)
  anylinePath: '../anylinejs',
});

• Start scanning

anyline.startScanning().catch((e) => {
  alert(e.message);
});

• Handle the scan result

anyline.onResult = (result) => {
  console.log(result)
};

Preload assets

In order to use preloading update your configuration as shown below and call the preload method. Example

const anyline = init({
  ...
  preload: true,
  ...
});

anyline.preload();

Try it locally

Go to https://anyline.com/request/contact for a test-license When you've received a license for your domain, edit your host file to route your domain to localhost. Then:

npm run demo

Visit http://yourdomain.com:8080/demo

or

npm run demo:network

In this case the HTTPS server uses a self-generated certificate so you might need to bypass the security measures of your browser. With a proper test-license issued for your internal ip-address you can test it on other devices on the network (i.E. for smartphone testing).

Typescript support

You can access the types by importing the Types object

import { Types } from '@anyline/anyline-js';
