react-qrcode-scanner

Introduction

A React component that provides a simple and efficient way to read QR codes from a web or mobile camera. This lightweight component utilizes HTML canvas to capture images and leverages the jsQR library to detect QR codes within the image data. NOTE: HTTPS is required to use camera on mobile devices. However, you can test over localhost on your computer

DEMO

Install

npm i react-qrcode-scanner
