_Figure: Screenshot from Google Chrome running on MacBook Pro_ ## Documentation Find the full API documentation at [scanapp.org/html5-qrcode-docs/docs/apis](https://scanapp.org/html5-qrcode-docs/docs/apis). ### Extra optional `configuration` in `start()` method Configuration object that can be used to configure both the scanning behavior and the user interface (UI). Most of the fields have default properties that will be used unless a different value is provided. If you do not want to override anything, you can just pass in an empty object `{}`. #### `fps` — Integer, Example = 10 A.K.A frame per second, the default value for this is 2, but it can be increased to get faster scanning. Increasing too high value could affect performance. Value `>1000` will simply fail. #### `qrbox` — `QrDimensions` or `QrDimensionFunction` (Optional), Example = `{ width: 250, height: 250 }` Use this property to limit the region of the viewfinder you want to use for scanning. The rest of the viewfinder would be shaded. For example, by passing config `{ qrbox : { width: 250, height: 250 } }`, the screen will look like:

This can be used to set a rectangular scanning area with config like: ```js let config = { qrbox : { width: 400, height: 150 } } ``` This config also accepts a function of type ```ts /** * A function that takes in the width and height of the video stream * and returns QrDimensions. * * Viewfinder refers to the video showing camera stream. */ type QrDimensionFunction = (viewfinderWidth: number, viewfinderHeight: number) => QrDimensions; ``` This allows you to set dynamic QR box dimensions based on the video dimensions. See this blog article for example: [Setting dynamic QR box size in Html5-qrcode - ScanApp blog](https://scanapp.org/blog/2022/01/09/setting-dynamic-qr-box-size-in-html5-qrcode.html) > This might be desirable for bar code scanning. If this value is not set, no shaded QR box will be rendered and the scanner will scan the entire area of video stream. #### `aspectRatio` — Float, Example 1.777778 for 16:9 aspect ratio Use this property to render the video feed in a certain aspect ratio. Passing a nonstandard aspect ratio like `100000:1` could lead to the video feed not even showing up. Ideal values can be: | Value | Aspect Ratio | Use Case | | ----- | ------------ | -------- | |1.333334 | 4:3 | Standard camera aspect ratio | |1.777778 | 16:9 | Full screen, cinematic | |1.0 | 1:1 | Square view | If you do not pass any value, the whole viewfinder would be used for scanning. **Note**: this value has to be smaller than the width and height of the `QR code HTML element`. #### `disableFlip` — Boolean (Optional), default = false By default, the scanner can scan for horizontally flipped QR Codes. This also enables scanning QR code using the front camera on mobile devices which are sometimes mirrored. This is `false` by default and I recommend changing this only if: - You are sure that the camera feed cannot be mirrored (Horizontally flipped) - You are facing performance issues with this enabled. Here's an example of a normal and mirrored QR Code | Normal QR Code | Mirrored QR Code | | ----- | ---- | |

| #### `rememberLastUsedCamera` — Boolean (Optional), default = true If `true` the last camera used by the user and weather or not permission was granted would be remembered in the local storage. If the user has previously granted permissions — the request permission option in the UI will be skipped and the last selected camera would be launched automatically for scanning. If `true` the library shall remember if the camera permissions were previously granted and what camera was last used. If the permissions is already granted for "camera", QR code scanning will automatically * start for previously used camera. #### `supportedScanTypes` - `Array | []` > This is only supported for `Html5QrcodeScanner`. Default = `[Html5QrcodeScanType.SCAN_TYPE_CAMERA, Html5QrcodeScanType.SCAN_TYPE_FILE]` This field can be used to: - Limit support to either of `Camera` or `File` based scan. - Change default scan type. How to use: ```js function onScanSuccess(decodedText, decodedResult) { // handle the scanned code as you like, for example: console.log(`Code matched = ${decodedText}`, decodedResult); } let config = { fps: 10, qrbox: {width: 100, height: 100}, rememberLastUsedCamera: true, // Only support camera scan type. supportedScanTypes: [Html5QrcodeScanType.SCAN_TYPE_CAMERA] }; let html5QrcodeScanner = new Html5QrcodeScanner( "reader", config, /* verbose= */ false); html5QrcodeScanner.render(onScanSuccess); ``` For file based scan only choose: ```js supportedScanTypes: [Html5QrcodeScanType.SCAN_TYPE_FILE] ``` For supporting both as it is today, you can ignore this field or set as: ```js supportedScanTypes: [ Html5QrcodeScanType.SCAN_TYPE_CAMERA, Html5QrcodeScanType.SCAN_TYPE_FILE] ``` To set the file based scan as defult change the order: ```js supportedScanTypes: [ Html5QrcodeScanType.SCAN_TYPE_FILE, Html5QrcodeScanType.SCAN_TYPE_CAMERA] ``` #### `showTorchButtonIfSupported` - `boolean | undefined` > This is only supported for `Html5QrcodeScanner`. If `true` the rendered UI will have button to turn flash on or off based on device + browser support. The value is `false` by default. ### Scanning only specific formats By default, both camera stream and image files are scanned against all the supported code formats. Both `Html5QrcodeScanner` and `Html5Qrcode` classes can be configured to only support a subset of supported formats. Supported formats are defined in [enum Html5QrcodeSupportedFormats](https://github.com/mebjas/html5-qrcode/blob/master/src/core.ts#L14). ```ts enum Html5QrcodeSupportedFormats { QR_CODE = 0, AZTEC, CODABAR, CODE_39, CODE_93, CODE_128, DATA_MATRIX, MAXICODE, ITF, EAN_13, EAN_8, PDF_417, RSS_14, RSS_EXPANDED, UPC_A, UPC_E, UPC_EAN_EXTENSION, } ``` I recommend using this only if you need to explicitly omit support for certain formats or want to reduce the number of scans done per second for performance reasons. #### Scanning only QR code with `Html5Qrcode` ```js const html5QrCode = new Html5Qrcode( "reader", { formatsToSupport: [ Html5QrcodeSupportedFormats.QR_CODE ] }); const qrCodeSuccessCallback = (decodedText, decodedResult) => { /* handle success */ }; const config = { fps: 10, qrbox: { width: 250, height: 250 } }; // If you want to prefer front camera html5QrCode.start({ facingMode: "user" }, config, qrCodeSuccessCallback); ``` #### Scanning only QR code and UPC codes with `Html5QrcodeScanner` ```js function onScanSuccess(decodedText, decodedResult) { // Handle the scanned code as you like, for example: console.log(`Code matched = ${decodedText}`, decodedResult); } const formatsToSupport = [ Html5QrcodeSupportedFormats.QR_CODE, Html5QrcodeSupportedFormats.UPC_A, Html5QrcodeSupportedFormats.UPC_E, Html5QrcodeSupportedFormats.UPC_EAN_EXTENSION, ]; const html5QrcodeScanner = new Html5QrcodeScanner( "reader", { fps: 10, qrbox: { width: 250, height: 250 }, formatsToSupport: formatsToSupport }, /* verbose= */ false); html5QrcodeScanner.render(onScanSuccess); ``` ## Experimental features The library now supports some experimental features which are supported in the library but not recommended for production usage either due to limited testing done or limited compatibility for underlying APIs used. Read more about it [here](/experimental.md). Some experimental features include: - [Support for BarcodeDetector JavaScript API](/experimental.md) ## How to modify and build 1. Code changes should only be made to [/src](./src) only. 2. Run `npm install` to install all dependencies. 3. Run `npm run-script build` to build JavaScript output. The output JavaScript distribution is built to [/dist/html5-qrcode.min.js](./dist/html5-qrcode.min.js). If you are developing on Windows OS, run `npm run-script build-windows`. 4. Testing - Run `npm test` - Run the tests before sending a pull request, all tests should run. - Please add tests for new behaviors sent in PR. 5. Send a pull request - Include code changes only to `./src`. **Do not change `./dist` manually.** - In the pull request add a comment like ```text @all-contributors please add @mebjas for this new feature or tests ``` - For calling out your contributions, the bot will update the contributions file. - Code will be built & published by the author in batches. ## How to contribute You can contribute to the project in several ways: - File issue ticket for any observed bug or compatibility issue with the project. - File feature request for missing features. - Take open bugs or feature request and work on it and send a Pull Request. - Write unit tests for existing codebase (which is not covered by tests today). **Help wanted on this** - [read more](./tests). ## Support 💖 This project would not be possible without all of our fantastic contributors and [sponsors](https://github.com/sponsors/mebjas).
