A Cordova/PhoneGap plugin providing cross-platform barcode scanning for hybrid mobile apps. It exposes a JavaScript API (cordova.plugins.barcodeScanner.scan) backed by native code on Android, iOS, Windows, and Browser.
Use cases
- scan qr codes in a cordova app
- read barcodes from phone camera in a phonegap app
- add barcode scanning to a hybrid mobile app
- scan upc and ean product codes on ios and android
- scan pdf417 and code128 barcodes in a webview app
When to choose
- you are building a Cordova or PhoneGap hybrid app and need camera-based barcode or QR scanning
- you need one plugin that works across Android, iOS, Windows, and Browser
When to avoid
- you are building a fully native app (use native scanning APIs instead)
- your project uses Capacitor or modern frameworks where the plugin ecosystem has moved on
- you need actively maintained software with recent releases
