Scan one or more barcodes from a JPEG image.
The API for this library is very simple:
iex> File.read!("QR_REF1.jpg") |> Zbar.scan()
%Zbar.Symbol{
data: "REF1",
points: [{40, 40}, {40, 250}, {250, 250}, {250, 40}],
quality: 1,
type: "QR-Code"
}
More detailed API documentation can be found at https://hexdocs.pm/zbar.
This package is available in Hex and can be
installed by adding :zbar
to your list of dependencies in mix.exs
:
def deps do
[{:zbar, "~> 0.2"}]
end
You will also need to have zbar
and libjpeg
installed in order to compile
the required native code. On OSX with Homebrew, this is as simple as:
$ brew install zbar libjpeg
