rn-mobile-barcode-scanner

React Native Mobile Barcode Scanner

A barcode scanner component for React Native built on top of Dynamsoft Mobile Barcode SDK.

Deprecation Announcement

We have designed a new SDK suite Dynamsoft Capture Vision (DCV) as a replacement for all previous projects that showcase how Dynamsoft Mobile SDKs work in various mobile frameworks, including React Native, Flutter, Xamarin, Cordova, and more. DCV provides better documentation and a better integration experience for customers using one of these mobile frameworks.

The React-Native edition of DCV was released on June 23rd, 2022, with the release, we announced the deprecation of this package "rn-mobile-barcode-scanner", which means that this package will stop getting updates or patches from Dynamsoft.

We recommend that you select the DCV React-Native package in your project.

Required Environment

• Node
• JDK
• Xcode
• Android Studio

Getting Started

Preparations

1. Create a new React Native project.

npx react-native init newBarcodeScanner

1. Open the project folder and find package.json. In the file, add the library to your project dependencies.

"dependencies": {
    "react": "16.9.0",
    "react-native": "0.61.1",
    "react-native-canvas": "^0.1.37",
    "rn-mobile-barcode-scanner": "^9.0.1",
    "react-native-webview": "^11.2.0"
}

1. In the command line, open your project folder and run yarn install.

yarn install

1. Return to the project folder. In App.js, use the following code to replace the original code.
