High performance barcode scanner for React Native using VisionCamera.
-
Modern and future-proof: Built on react-native-vision-camera v3 with minimal native dependencies for each platforms to minimize future build-failure risk.
-
Minimal footprint: Leverages Google's MLKit BarcodeScanner on Android and Apple's Vision VNDetectBarcodesRequest.
-
Powerful & Performant: The implementation has been tailored for advanced use cases where performance is critical. Scanning barcodes is butter smooth at 30fps, and you can customize the detection speed loop (detection fps).
-
Hooks based: Exposes easy-to-use hooks

Warning
The project is currently trying to closely track the react-native-vision-camera v3, The latest 0.9+ releases are made to work with the latest react-native-vision-camera beta (currently 3.9.0-beta.2)
npm install @mgcrea/vision-camera-barcode-scanner
# or
yarn add @mgcrea/vision-camera-barcode-scanner
# or
pnpm add @mgcrea/vision-camera-barcode-scannerThis package relies on:
You must add them as dependencies to your project:
npm install react-native-vision-camera react-native-worklets-core
# or
yarn add react-native-vision-camera react-native-worklets-core
# or
pnpm add react-native-vision-camera react-native-worklets-coreThen you must follow their respective installation instructions:
import {
CameraHighlights,
useBarcodeScanner,
} from "@mgcrea/vision-camera-barcode-scanner";
import type { FunctionComponent } from "react";
import { StyleSheet } from "react-native";
export const App: FunctionComponent = () => {
// @NOTE you must properly ask for camera permissions first!
// You should use `PermissionsAndroid` for Android and `Camera.requestCameraPermission()` on iOS.
const { props: cameraProps, highlights } = useBarcodeScanner({
fps: 5,
barcodeTypes: ["qr", "ean-13"], // optional
onBarcodeScanned: (barcodes) => {
"worklet";
console.log(
`Scanned ${barcodes.length} codes with values=${JSON.stringify(
barcodes.map(({ value }) => value),
)} !`,
);
},
});
const devices = useCameraDevices();
const device = devices.find(({ position }) => position === "back");
const format = useCameraFormat(device, [
{ videoResolution: { width: 1920, height: 1080 } },
]);
if (!device) {
return null;
}
return (
<View style={{ flex: 1 }}>
<Camera
style={StyleSheet.absoluteFill}
device={device}
isActive
{...cameraProps}
/>
<CameraHighlights highlights={highlights} color="peachpuff" />
</View>
