ScanBarcodes

ScanBarcodes is a SwiftUI view that scans barcodes using an iPhone or iPad camera.

The framework uses AVFoundation for high performance video capture and barcode recognition. The view also provides optional control of the flashlight and the zoom level of the camera.

Getting started

Try the demo application

Two important notes on usage:

1. an actual phone is required (iOS simulator doesn't yet support the camera)
2. an entry in the app Info.plist for "Privacy - Camera Usage Description" is required to prompt for user permission to use the camera to scan barcodes.

The view takes two required arguments and two optional arguments:

• barcodeTypes: [AVMetadataMachineReadableCodeObject.ObjectType] (required)
• zoomLevel : Binding (optional, defaults to 1, values greater than 1 increase the zoom)
• flashlightOn: Binding (optional, defaults to false)
• completion: @escaping (Result ) -> Void) (required, a closure to execute when a result is obtained)
