Usage

Barcode Scanner

To call up the barcode scanner, refer to this example code for Typescript:

function onSuccess(barcode) {
  console.log("Success:" + barcode);
}

function onError(message) {
  console.log("Error:" + message);
}

Check Play Service Availability (ANDROID)

As this plugin is based on Google's MLKit, Play services is required for it to function correctly on Android devices. You can check if the host device has support, by calling checkSupport:

function onSuccess(isSupported) {
  console.log("Has Support: " + isSupported);
}

function onError(message) {
  console.log("Error: " + message);
}

(<any>window).window["MLKitBarcodeScanner"].checkSupport(onSuccess, onError);
