How to integrate the Scanbot React Native Barcode Scanner using Ready-To-Use UI
The Ready-To-Use UI (RTU UI) is an easy-to-integrate and highly customizable high-level UI component that can handle most barcode scanning use cases and tasks.
The design and behavior of this component are based on our many years of experience as well as the feedback from our SDK customers.
Although the main idea of the RTU UI is to provide simple-to-integrate and simple-to-configure components, its customization capabilities are numerous and should suit most of your needs. To achieve an even higher degree of customization, you can implement a custom UI and business-logic using our Native Components.
Import
To use the RTU UI component please import startBarcodeScanner function and all related configurations and results from react-native-scanbot-barcode-scanner-sdk/ui_v2.
Example:
import { startBarcodeScanner, BarcodeScannerConfiguration } from 'react-native-scanbot-barcode-scanner-sdk/ui_v2';
RTU UI v2 Default Configuration
// Create the default configuration object.
const config = new BarcodeScannerConfiguration();
// See further customization configs...
const result = await startBarcodeScanner(config);
Returns
result.status–OKIf the scanning is completed,CANCELEDif the user has canceled the operation (tapped on the “cancel” button).result.data?.items– Optional List of recognized barcodes as items. See the barcode item structure below.
Barcode item structure:
type– Recognized barcode symbology.count– Number of recognized barcodes of this symbology and value.text– Recognized value of the barcode.textWithExtension– Recognized barcode value with extension (if available).rawBytes– Representation of the raw data that is contained the recognized barcode.parsedDocument– The parsed known document format (if parsed successfully).
