## Use Case

You need a component for scanning QR codes or other barcodes from a web browser based app.

## Compatibility

This component has been tested in the following browsers:

- Chrome Mac OS & Android
- Firefox Mac OS & Android
- Safari Mac OS & iOS

Since this library does internal use of hooks you need `React >= 16.8.0`.

This library utilizes the [ZXing library](https://github.com/zxing-js/browser) and therefore supports all their [supported formats](https://github.com/zxing-js/library#supported-formats) of 1D and 2D barcodes.

## Installation

You can install this library via bun, pnpm, yarn, or npm.

### bun

```bash
bun add @thewirv/react-barcode-scanner
```

### pnpm

```bash
pnpm add @thewirv/react-barcode-scanner
```

### yarn

```bash
yarn add @thewirv/react-barcode-scanner
```

### npm

```bash
npm i --save @thewirv/react-barcode-scanner
```

## Example Usage

After reading and performing the previous steps, you should be able to import the library and use it like in this example:

```typescript
import {useState} from 'react';
import {BarcodeScanner} from '@thewirv/react-barcode-scanner';

function Test(props: Props) {
  const [data, setData] = useState('No result');

  return (
    <>
      <BarcodeScanner
        onSuccess={(text) => setData(text)}
        onError={(error) => {
          if (error) {
            console.error(error.message);
          }
        }}
        onLoad={() => console.log('Video feed has loaded!')}
        containerStyle={{width: '100%'}}
      />
      <p>{data}</p>
    </>
  );
}
```
