npm i react-zxing

Easily scan QR and ean codes in your React application. Exports a handy useZxing hook that utilizes the popular @zxing/library to stream video to an element and decode codes from it.

Usage

import { useState } from "react";
import { useZxing } from "react-zxing";

export const BarcodeScanner = () => {
  const [result, setResult] = useState("");
  const { ref } = useZxing({
    onResult(result) {
      setResult(result.getText());
    },
  });

  return (
    <>
      <video ref={ref} />
      <p>
        <span>Last result:</span>
        <span>{result}</span>
      </p>
    </>
  );
};

With specific device ID

You could either get the device ID from the MediaDevices API yourself or make use of react-media-devices to list available devices:

import { useMediaDevices } from "react-media-devices";
import { useZxing } from "react-zxing";

const constraints: MediaStreamConstraints = {
  video: true,
  audio: false,
};

export const BarcodeScanner = () => {
  const { devices } = useMediaDevices(constraints);
  const { ref } = useZxing({
    deviceId: devices[0].deviceId,
  });

  return <video ref={ref} />;
};

Options

Name	Type	Default	Description
onResult	function		Called when a result is found. The result is an instance of Result .
onError	function		Called when an error is found. The error is an instance of Error.
hints	Map<DecodeHintType, any>		A map of additional parameters to pass to the zxing decoder.
timeBetweenDecodingAttempts	number	300	The time in milliseconds to wait between decoding attempts.
constraints	MediaStreamConstraints	{ video: { facingMode: 'environment' }, audio: false }	The constraints to use when requesting the camera stream.
deviceId	string		You may pass an explicit device ID to stream from.
