Barcode Scanning Module for React Native

This is a sample that shows how to implement barcode scanning in React Native using Dynamsoft Barcode Reader SDK.

To learn more about Dynamsoft Barcode Reader, please visit http://www.dynamsoft.com/Products/Dynamic-Barcode-Reader.aspx.

License

You can request for a free trial license online. Get a trial license >

Without a valid license, the SDK can work but will not return a full result.

Dependencies

Node, Python2, JDK, Watchman, Xcode and Android Studio. 
(Windows: The version of Node must be greater than or equal to 10 and less than or equal to 12.11, the version of Python must be 2.x (does not support 3.x), and the version of JDK must be 1.8)

How to Run the Example

iOS

Run npm install or yarn (npm install -g yarn) from the Example directory first, then pod install in the react-native-dbr/Libraries. And make sure Your Project Target -> Build Settings -> Search Paths -> Frameworks Search Paths:

Frameworks Search Paths = "${PODS_ROOT}/DynamsoftBarcodeReader"

Then react-native run-ios.

Android

npm install or yarn (npm install -g yarn)
react-native run-android

How to Use the Barcode Scanning Module

In Android

1. Create a new React Native project.

   react-native init NewProject

2. Add the local module to dependencies in package.json.

   "dependencies": {
       "react": "16.9.0",
       "react-native": "^0.61.1",
       "react-native-dbr": "file:../NewProject"
   },

3. Link dependencies.

   react-native link

4. Use flatDir to define library path in android/build.gradle.

   flatDir {
       dirs project(':react-native-dbr').file('lib')
   }
   

5. Use the module in App.js.

   import {NativeModules} from 'react-native';
   const BarcodeReaderManager = NativeModules.BarcodeReaderManager;
   
   //android
   BarcodeReaderManager.readBarcode('your license here',events => {
     this.setState({result: events});
   },err => {
     alert(err);
   }
   );

In iOS

1. Create a new React Native project.

   react-native init NewProject

2. Add the local module to dependencies in NewProject/package.json.

   "dependencies": {
       "react": "16.9.0",
       "react-native": "^0.61.1",
       "react-native-dbr": "file:../NewProject"
   }

3. Remove node_moudules and install.

   sudo rm -rf node_moudules 
   npm install or yarn

4. Add BarcodeReaderManager.xcodeproj to your project libraries. And make sure Pods/Target Support Files/Pods-BarcodeReaderManager.debug.xcconfig:

  FRAMEWORK_SEARCH_PATHS = "${PODS_ROOT}/DynamsoftBarcodeReader"
  HEADER_SEARCH_PATHS = "${PODS_ROOT}/DynamsoftBarcodeReader/DynamsoftBarcodeReader.framework/Headers"
  LIBRARY_SEARCH_PATHS = "${PODS_ROOT}/DynamsoftBarcodeReader"
  OTHER_LDFLAGS = -framework "DynamsoftBarcodeReader"

5. In your NewProject:

  Project -> Build Settings -> FRAMEWORK_SEARCH_PATHS = `$(PROJECT_DIR)/../Libraries` 
  HEADER_SEARCH_PATHS = `$(PROJECT_DIR)/../Libraries`

6. Modify the module in App.js(different from android).

   import {NativeModules} from 'react-native';
   const BarcodeReaderManager = NativeModules.BarcodeReaderManager;
   
   //ios
   BarcodeReaderManager.readBarcode('your license here').then((msg) =>{
       this.setState({result: msg});
   }).catch((err) => {
       console.log(err);
   });

7. To achieve navigation from react-native to viewController, in AppDelegate.h and AppDelegate.m, add the following code:

   ...
   @property (nonatomic, strong) UIWindow *window;
   @property (nonatomic, strong) UINavigationController *nav;
   @property (nonatomic, strong) RCTRootView *rootView;
   @property (nonatomic, strong) UIViewController *rootViewController;
   ...
   
   ```AppDelegate.m:
   #import "../../../ios/BarcodeReaderManagerViewController.h"
   #import "../../../ios/DbrManager.h"
   
   - (BOOL)application:(UIApplication *)application didFinishLaunchingWithOptions:(NSDictionary *)launchOptions
   {
   //  self.window.rootViewController = rootViewController;
       _nav = [[UINavigationController alloc] initWithRootViewController:_rootViewController];
       self.window.rootViewController = _nav;
       _nav.navigationBarHidden = YES;
       [[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] addObserver:self selector:@selector(doNotification:) name:@"readBarcode" object:nil];
       [[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] addObserver:self selector:@selector(backToJs:) name:@"backToJs" object:nil];
       [self.window makeKeyAndVisible];
       return YES;
   }
   
   -(void)doNotification:(NSNotification *)notification{
       BarcodeReaderManagerViewController* dbrMangerController = [[BarcodeReaderManagerViewController alloc] init];
       dbrMangerController.dbrManager = [[DbrManager alloc] initWithLicense:notification.userInfo[@"inputValue"]];
       [self.nav pushViewController:dbrMangerController animated:YES];
   }
   
   -(void)backToJs:(NSNotification *)notification{
       [self.nav popToViewController:self.rootViewController animated:YES];
   }
