Overview | React Native Barcode Scanner

The Scanbot Barcode Scanner SDK for React Native brings Barcode Scanning features to your React Native app.

With our Ready-To-Use UI Components (RTU UI), you can integrate our SDK's scanning functionalities with only a few lines of code. This way, you can benefit from tried-and-true UX design and straightforward integration while still being able to customize the visual appearance to match your brand. Or you can dive into our Classic Components and build a fully customized scanning experience yourself.

No internet connection required​

The Scanbot SDK works completely offline. It does not even contain any networking code. This can easily be verified by routing all networking traffic coming from the app through a proxy. All data generated by the Scanbot SDK is only stored on the end user's device and in absolutely no case ever transferred to a server / cloud service controlled by us. You as the customer will need to take care of uploading the scans / data to your backend, if desired.

Simulators / emulators​

While it is possible to test your app with the Scanbot SDK on simulators/emulators, we strongly recommend using real iOS/Android devices.

Depending on the emulated camera, you may not be able to test/evaluate the full functionality of the Scanbot SDK.
