fast barcode scanner 2

fast_barcode_scanner_2 #

A fast barcode scanner using MLKit (and CameraX) on Android and AVFoundation on iOS. This package leaves the UI up to the user, but rather gives an access to a camera preview.
Note: This plugin is still under development, and some APIs might not be available yet. If you have any issues, ideas or recommendendations, don't hesitate to create an issue or pull request on github. I am using this plugin in production myself and will actively develop and maintain it going forward.
This plugin required iOS 10.0 and Android sdk version 21 or higher.

Usage #
The barcode scanner consists of two main classes CameraController and BarcodeCamera.
A full example looks like this:
import 'package:fast_barcode_scanner/fast_barcode_scanner.dart';

class MyScannerScreen extends StatelessWidget {
@override
Widget build(BuildContext context) {
return Scaffold(
appBar: AppBar(title: Text('Barcode Scanner')),
body: BarcodeCamera(
types: const [
BarcodeType.ean8,
BarcodeType.ean13,
BarcodeType.code128
],
resolution: Resolution.hd720,
framerate: Framerate.fps30,
mode: DetectionMode.pauseVideo,
onScan: (code) => print(code),
children: [
MaterialPreviewOverlay(animateDetection: false),
BlurPreviewOverlay(),
Positioned(
child: ElevatedButton(
onPressed: () =>
CameraController.instance.resumeDetector(),
child: Text('Resume'),
),
)
],
)
)
}
}

As you can see, there are two overlays in the childrens list. These two are included in the package. MaterialPreviewOverlay mimics the official material barcode scanning example. BlurPreviewOverlay blurs the screen when a barcode is detected and unblurs it on resuming. These are normal widget, which are shown above the camera preview. Look at their source code to find out, how to react to events from the barcode scanner.
CameraController #
The CameraController-singleton manages the camera. It handles all the low level stuff like communicating with native code. It is implemented as a singleton to guarantee that there is always one and the same controller managing the camera. You can access the controller via the CameraController.instance attribute. These are the accessible methods:



method
Description




initialize
Initialized the scanner with the provided config


pauseDetector
Actively pauses the scanner


resumeDetector
Resumes the scanner from the paused state


toggleTorch
toggles the torch on and off


dispose
Stops and resets the camera on platform level



You do not have to call initialize yourself, if you use the BarcodeCamera widget.
CameraState #
CameraController.instance.state contains the current state of the scanner.
You can use it to build your own overlay. The following information can be accessed:



Attribute
Description




isInitialized
Indicated whether the camera is currently initialized


previewConfig
A PreviewConfiguration that is currently used


eventNotifier
A event notifier to react to init or detecting codes


torchState
The current state of the torch (on/off)


hasError
Indicates whether error is null or not


error
Access the error produced last



BarcodeCamera #
The BarcodeCamera is a widget showing a preview of the camera feed. It calls the CameraController in the background for initialization and configuration of the barcode camera.
An overview of all possible configurations (either passed to BarcodeCamera or CameraController.initialize):



Attribute
