• there is a delay of 1500ms after each successful scan, before a new QR-Code can be detected
• supports iOS 11
  • works only with Safari
  • works only if the page is delivered via HTTPS

Demo

• Plunkr
• Example

Installation

To install this library, run:

$ npm install ngx-zxing --save

and then from your Angular AppModule:

import { BrowserModule } from '@angular/platform-browser';
import { NgModule } from '@angular/core';
import { AppComponent } from './app.component';

// Import the library
import { NgxZxingModule } from 'ngx-zxing';
// Needed as well
import { FormsModule } from "@angular/forms";


@NgModule({
  declarations: [
    AppComponent
  ],
  imports: [
    BrowserModule,
    FormsModule,
    NgxZxingModule.forRoot()
  ],
  providers: [],
  bootstrap: [AppComponent]
})
export class AppModule { }

Usage

Once the library is imported, you can use it in your Angular application:

<ngx-zxing
    [start]="camStarted"
    [device]="selectedDevice"
    (onCamsFound)="displayCameras($event)"
    (onScan)="handleQrCodeResult($event)"
></ngx-zxing>

• start used to start and stop the scanning (defaults to false)
• onCamsFound will emit an array of video-devices after view was initialized
• device is the video-device used for scanning (use one of the devices emitted by onCamsFound)
• onScan will emit the result as string, after a valid QR-Code was scanned
