html5-qrcode
Advanced tools
A cross-platform HTML5 QR code & barcode reader.
Use this lightweight library to easily / quickly integrate QR code, bar code, and other common code scanning capabilities to your web application.
Supports easy scanning using an integrated webcam or camera in smartphones (Android / IOS).
Supports scanning codes from files or default cameras on smartphones.
Recently Added Supports bar code scanning in various formats.
Supports two kinds of APIs
Html5QrcodeScanner — End-to-end scanner with UI, integrate with less than ten lines of code.Html5Qrcode — Powerful set of APIs you can use to build your UI without worrying about camera setup, handling permissions, reading codes, etc.Support for scanning local files on the device is a new addition and helpful for the web browser which does not support inline web-camera access in smartphones. Note: This doesn't upload files to any server — everything is done locally.

This is a cross-platform JavaScript library to integrate QR code, bar codes & a few other types of code scanning capabilities to your applications running on HTML5 compatible browser.
Supports:
For full information read this article.
Download the script from release page or install using npm with:
npm i html5-qrcode
Add an element you want to use as a placeholder for QR Code scanner
<div id="reader" width="600px"></div>
Ideally do not set the height of this container as the height should depend on the height of the video feed from the camera. The library would honor the existing width, otherwise apply the default width. The height is derived from the aspect ratio of the video feed.
If you are not using any loader, you can get the latest UMD javascript code in production from https://unpkg.com/html5-qrcode.
<script src="https://unpkg.com/html5-qrcode" type="text/javascript">
In case you installed the plugin using
npmbut still use javascript without any module loader, you can get the minified script innode_modules/html5-qrcode/html5-qrcode.min.js
Include the script with
// To use Html5QrcodeScanner (more info below)
import {Html5QrcodeScanner} from "html5-qrcode"
// To use Html5Qrcode (more info below)
import {Html5Qrcode} from "html5-qrcode"
Html5QrcodeScanner lets you implement an end to end scanner with few lines of code with the default user interface which allows scanning using the camera or selecting an image from the file system.
You can set up the scanner as follows:
function onScanSuccess(decodedText, decodedResult) {
// handle the scanned code as you like, for example:
console.log(`Code matched = ${decodedText}`, decodedResult);
}
function onScanFailure(error) {
// handle scan failure, usually better to ignore and keep scanning.
// for example:
console.warn(`Code scan error = ${error}`);
}
let html5QrcodeScanner = new Html5QrcodeScanner(
"reader",
{ fps: 10, qrbox: {width: 250, height: 250} },
/* verbose= */ false);
html5QrcodeScanner.render(onScanSuccess, onScanFailure);
You can use Html5Qrcode class to set up your QR code scanner (with your own user interface) and allow users to scan QR codes using the camera or by choosing an image file in the file system or native cameras in smartphones.
You can use the following APIs to fetch camera, start scanning and stop scanning.
To get a list of supported cameras, query it using static method Html5Qrcode.getCameras(). This method returns a Promise with a list of devices supported in format { id: "id", label: "label" }.
// This method will trigger user permissions
Html5Qrcode.getCameras().then(devices => {
/**
* devices would be an array of objects of type:
* { id: "id", label: "label" }
*/
if (devices && devices.length) {
var cameraId = devices[0].id;
// .. use this to start scanning.
}
}).catch(err => {
// handle err
});
Important: Note that this method will trigger user permission if the user has not granted it already.
Warning: Direct access to the camera is a powerful feature. It requires consent from the user, and your site MUST be on a secure origin (HTTPS).
Warning: Asking for access to the camera on page load will result in most of your users rejecting access to it. More info
Once you have the camera ID from device.id, start camera using Html5Qrcode#start(..). This method returns a Promise with Qr code scanning initiation.
const html5QrCode = new Html5Qrcode(/* element id */ "reader");
html5QrCode.start(
cameraId,
{
fps: 10, // Optional, frame per seconds for qr code scanning
qrbox: { width: 250, height: 250 } // Optional, if you want bounded box UI
},
(decodedText, decodedResult) => {
// do something when code is read
},
(errorMessage) => {
// parse error, ignore it.
})
.catch((err) => {
// Start failed, handle it.
});
You can optionally set another argument in constructor called
verboseto print all logs to console
const html5QrCode = new Html5Qrcode("reader", /* verbose= */ true);
In mobile devices you may want users to directly scan the QR code using the back camera or the front camera for some use cases. For such cases you can avoid using the exact camera device ID that you get from Html5Qrcode.getCameras(). The start() method allows passing constraints in place of camera device ID similar to html5 web API syntax. You can start scanning like mentioned in these examples:
const html5QrCode = new Html5Qrcode("reader");
const qrCodeSuccessCallback = (decodedText, decodedResult) => {
/* handle success */
};
const config = { fps: 10, qrbox: { width: 250, height: 250 } };
// If you want to prefer front camera
html5QrCode.start({ facingMode: "user" }, config, qrCodeSuccessCallback);
// If you want to prefer back camera
html5QrCode.start({ facingMode: "environment" }, config, qrCodeSuccessCallback);
// Select front camera or fail with `OverconstrainedError`.
html5QrCode.start({ facingMode: { exact: "user"} }, config, qrCodeSuccessCallback);
// Select back camera or fail with `OverconstrainedError`.
html5QrCode.start({ facingMode: { exact: "environment"} }, config, qrCodeSuccessCallback);
Passing the cameraId (recommended approach) is similar to
html5QrCode.start({ deviceId: { exact: cameraId} }, config, qrCodeSuccessCallback);
To stop using camera and thus stop scanning, call Html5Qrcode#stop() which returns a Promise for stopping the video feed and scanning.
html5QrCode.stop().then((ignore) => {
// QR Code scanning is stopped.
}).catch((err) => {
// Stop failed, handle it.
});
Note that the class is stateful and
stop()should be called to properly tear down the video and camera objects safely after callingstart()when the scan is over or the user intend to move on.stop()will stop the video feed on the viewfinder.

You can alternatively leverage QR Code scanning for local files on the device or default camera on the device. It works similar to inline QR Code scanning.
Define the HTML container and import the JavaScript library as mentioned above
<div id="reader" width="600px" height="600px"></div>
<script src="./dist/html5-qrcode.js"></script>
It's not mandatory to set the height and width of the HTML element. If provided, the library would try to honor it. If it's not set, the library would set a default width and derive the height based on the input image's aspect ratio.
Add an Input element for supporting file selection like this:
<input type="file" id="qr-input-file" accept="image/*">
<!--
Or add captured if you only want to enable smartphone camera, PC browsers will ignore it.
-->
<input type="file" id="qr-input-file" accept="image/*" capture>
Find more information about this at developers.google.com.
And in JavaScript code initialize the object and attach listener like this:
const html5QrCode = new Html5Qrcode(/* element id */ "reader");
// File based scanning
const fileinput = document.getElementById('qr-input-file');
fileinput.addEventListener('change', e => {
if (e.target.files.length == 0) {
// No file selected, ignore
return;
}
const imageFile = e.target.files[0];
// Scan QR Code
html5QrCode.scanFile(imageFile, true)
.then(decodedText => {
// success, use decodedText
console.log(decodedText);
})
.catch(err => {
// failure, handle it.
console.log(`Error scanning file. Reason: ${err}`)
});
});
// Note: Current public API `scanFile` only returns the decoded text. There is
// another work in progress API (in beta) which returns a full decoded result of
// type `QrcodeResult` (check interface in src/core.ts) which contains the
// decoded text, code format, code bounds, etc.
// Eventually, this beta API will be migrated to the public API.
Note that inline scanning and file-based scanning are mutually exclusive at the moment. This means you can only use one of them at a time. I'll soon be adding support for the option to have both if the requirement comes in. If you want to use both, use
html5QrCode#clear()method to clear the canvas.

configuration in start() methodConfiguration object that can be used to configure both the scanning behavior and the user interface (UI). Most of the fields have default properties that will be used unless a different value is provided. If you do not want to override anything, you can just pass in an empty object {}.
fps — Integer, Example = 10A.K.A frame per second, the default value for this is 2, but it can be increased to get faster scanning. Increasing too high value could affect performance. Value >1000 will simply fail.
qrbox — QrDimensions or QrDimensionFunction (Optional), Example = { width: 250, height: 250 }Use this property to limit the region of the viewfinder you want to use for scanning. The rest of the viewfinder would be shaded. For example, by passing config { qrbox : { width: 250, height: 250 } }, the screen will look like:
This can be used to set a rectangular scanning area with config like:
let config = { qrbox : { width: 400, height: 150 } }
This config also accepts a function of type
/**
* A function that takes in the width and height of the video stream
* and returns QrDimensions.
*
* Viewfinder refers to the video showing camera stream.
*/
type QrDimensionFunction =
(viewfinderWidth: number, viewfinderHeight: number) => QrDimensions;
This allows you to set dynamic QR box dimensions based on the video dimensions. See this blog article for example: Setting dynamic QR box size in Html5-qrcode - ScanApp blog
This might be desirable for bar code scanning.
If this value is not set, no shaded QR box will be rendered and the scanner will scan the entire area of video stream.
aspectRatio — Float, Example 1.777778 for 16:9 aspect ratioUse this property to render the video feed in a certain aspect ratio. Passing a nonstandard aspect ratio like 100000:1 could lead to the video feed not even showing up. Ideal values can be:
| Value | Aspect Ratio | Use Case |
|---|---|---|
| 1.333334 | 4:3 | Standard camera aspect ratio |
| 1.777778 | 16:9 | Full screen, cinematic |
| 1.0 | 1:1 | Square view |
If you do not pass any value, the whole viewfinder would be used for scanning.
Note: this value has to be smaller than the width and height of the QR code HTML element.
disableFlip — Boolean (Optional), default = falseBy default, the scanner can scan for horizontally flipped QR Codes. This also enables scanning QR code using the front camera on mobile devices which are sometimes mirrored. This is false by default and I recommend changing this only if:
Here's an example of a normal and mirrored QR Code
| Normal QR Code | Mirrored QR Code |
|---|---|
|  |
rememberLastUsedCamera — Boolean (Optional), default = trueIf true the last camera used by the user and weather or not permission was granted would be remembered in the local storage. If the user has previously granted permissions — the request permission option in the UI will be skipped and the last selected camera would be launched automatically for scanning.
If true the library shall remember if the camera permissions were previously
granted and what camera was last used. If the permissions is already granted for
"camera", QR code scanning will automatically * start for previously used camera.
By default, both camera stream and image files are scanned against all the
supported code formats. Both Html5QrcodeScanner and Html5Qrcode classes can
be configured to only support a subset of supported formats. Supported formats
are defined in
enum Html5QrcodeSupportedFormats.
enum Html5QrcodeSupportedFormats {
QR_CODE = 0,
AZTEC,
CODABAR,
CODE_39,
CODE_93,

ITF,
EAN_13,
EAN_8,
PDF_417,
RSS_14,
RSS_EXPANDED,
UPC_A,
UPC_E,

}
I recommend using this only if you need to explicitly omit support for certain formats or want to reduce the number of scans done per second for performance reasons.

The library now supports some experimental features which are supported in the library but not recommended for production usage either due to limited testing done or limited compatibility for underlying APIs used. Read more about it here. Some experimental features include:
Code changes should only be made to /src only.
Run npm install to install all dependencies.
Run npm run-script build to build JavaScript output. The output JavaScript distribution is built to /dist/html5-qrcode.min.js. If you are developing on Windows OS, run npm run-script build-windows.
Testing

* Viewfinder refers to the video showing camera stream.
*/
export type QrDimensionFunction =
(viewfinderWidth: number, viewfinderHeight: number) => QrDimensions;
This will allow developers to define custom QR box dimensions for their implementations.
Example:
function onScanSuccess(decodedText, decodedResult) {
// handle the scanned code as you like, for example:
console.log(`Code matched = ${decodedText}`, decodedResult);
}
// Square QR box with edge size = 70% of the smaller edge of the viewfinder.
