React Barcode Reader is a simple mockup project demonstrating how to use the Zebra Crossing (ZXing) image processing library in a React project. This project aims to showcase a basic implementation of barcode reading capabilities within a web application using React and the ZXing library.
Barcode reading is a common requirement in various applications such as inventory management, hospitals, retail, ticketing, and more. The Zebra Crossing (ZXing) library is an open-source image processing library that supports reading various types of barcodes like QR codes and UPC codes. This project provides a simple React application that integrates the ZXing library to read barcodes from live camera input.
- Scan barcodes from webcam
- Display barcode text on the screen
- Simple and easy-to-understand React codebase
- Utilizes the power of ZXing image processing library
- Clone the repository:
git clone https://github.com/drchaney/react-barcode-reader.git
cd react-barcode-reader- Install the dependencies:
npm install- Start the development server:
npm start-
Open your web browser and navigate to
http://localhost:3000to access the React Barcode Reader application. -
To scan barcodes using the live camera, click on the "Start Scanning" button. Grant necessary camera permissions if prompted. Point the camera towards a barcode, and the application will read and display the barcode information in real-time. Click "Stop Scanning" to turn off your camera.
The project relies on the following main dependencies:
- React: A JavaScript library for building user interfaces.
- ZXing: An open-source, multi-format 1D/2D barcode image processing library.
For the full list of dependencies, please refer to the package.json file.
