Installation

To install the Scanbot Barcode Scanner SDK module you can run the following in your root project folder

Yarn

yarn add react-native-scanbot-barcode-scanner-sdk

npm

npm install react-native-scanbot-barcode-scanner-sdk

Expo

npx expo install react-native-scanbot-barcode-scanner-sdk

Expo

Integration with Expo is possible only when using a development build. The project is configurable using our config plugin or manually configure the native projects. To utilize the plugin you can add the following in your app config file:

"plugins": [
  [
    "react-native-scanbot-barcode-scanner-sdk",
    {
      "iOSCameraUsageDescription": "Barcode Camera permissions",
      "androidCameraPermission": true,
      "androidCameraFeature": true,
      "mavenURLs": true
    }
  ]
],

• iOSCameraUsageDescription: Adds NSCameraUsageDescription in Info.plist. The permission can also be added via Expo Permissions
• androidCameraPermission: Adds android.permission.CAMERA permission in AndroidManifest.xml. The permission can also be added via Expo Permissions
• androidCameraFeature: Adds android.hardware.camera feature in AndroidManifest.xml
• mavenURLs: Adds Scanbot Barcode Scanner SDK Maven urls for Android local development. These URLs are already included in our package's build.gradle, but need to be added due to how Expo starts the Android app.
