Installation

npm install @nativescript/mlkit-barcode-scanning

Use @nativescript/mlkit-barcode-scanning

Follow these steps to scan a barcode:

1. Add MLKitView to your page and set the detectionType property to "barcode".

<StackLayout>
    <MLKitView
    detectionType="barcode" 
    detection="{{ onDetection }}"
    />
    <Label row="6">
        <FormattedString>
            <Span text="Barcode: "/>
            <Span text="{{ barcode }}" class="text-green-500"/>
        </FormattedString>
    </Label>
</StackLayout>

2. To receive the scanned barcode data, handle the detection event and get the data if the event's type is "barcode".

import { Observable } from "@nativescript/core"
import { DetectionEvent, DetectionType } from "@nativescript/mlkit-core";
import { BarcodeResult } from "@nativescript/mlkit-barcode-scanning";

export class BarcodeScannerViewModel extends Observable {
    barcode = ""
...
    onDetection(event: DetectionEvent){

        if(event.type == DetectionType.Barcode){
            const barcodeData: BarcodeResult = event.data[0] as BarcodeResult;
            this.set("barcode", barcodeData?.rawValue)
        }
}
}
