A Progressive Web Application (PWA) that scans barcodes of various formats, using the Barcode Detection API.

NOTE: The Barcode Detection API is part of the Fugu project. Currently it is supported only on Chromium browsers in MacOS and Android. For non-supporting browsers, a polyfill is used.

Live demo

• Scan barcodes from web camera
• Scan barcodes from image files
• Copy detected barcode to clipboard
• Share detected barcode via Web Share API (Android)
• If barcode is a URL, offer option to open in new tab
• Offer to save detected barcodes to history (local storage)

Below are the instructions for setting up the development environment.

• Node.js (v20.x.x)
• npm (v10.x.x)

Clone the repository to your local machine:

git clone [email protected]:hanshat/barcodescanner.git

Navigate to the project's directory and install the dependencies:

npm install

To run the application in development mode, run the following command:

npm start -- --open

This will start the development server and open the application in your default web browser.

To build the application for production, run the following command:

npm run build

This will create a dist directory containing the production build of the application.

To deploy the application, run the following command:

npm run deploy

This will build the application first and then deploy it to GitHub Pages in the gh-pages branch.
