Hi Leonidas, yes I saw that but the link always redirects immediately to www.bubble.is (whether I am connected or not to my own bubble account). Are you sure your app is public?
But that’s fine I managed to do it by myself adding the JsBarcode.all.min.js script to the header section and then adding an html piece of code. Thanks a lot for your idea!

Hi,
There’s a 3rd party app namely “Scandit” !
Can somebody build a plugin for Scandit?
This will solve everyone’s problem with barcode scanning, including mine.

@seanhoots - it’s a year later, so I’m guessing the barcode scanner plugin didn’t happen. If it did, could you please post the details here? If not, thanks for the info on QuaggaJS - I’ll try to figure it out from there. I’m not interested in QR codes, only standard barcodes.
Thanks!
For anyone trying to build a Barcode scanner, this was my solution. Hope it helps.
I managed to set up the API of the QR code scanning plugin in the API Connector.
Then connecting the paid Camera Capture plugin to my app I can access the mobile device’s front or back camera.
I am able to scan a QR code with a mobile’s camera and it instantaneously returns the value of that QR code.
This is how I set up my workflow actions:
First we take a picture using the plugin.
Then we scan the photo using the API we installed. Be sure to add http: infront of the image URL.
Then save the barcode’s value to your database.
This is the result. You can see the value of the scanned Barcode is “Hello World”
This works, but it does have a bug. I get this error message everytime I scan something. It still returns the correct value, but this error message popup is irritating. If anyone finds a solution to get rid of this error message please let me know.
I’d like to set this up using QuaggaJS API so it can read zebra Barcodes too and not only QR codes. Has anyone managed to set up QuaggaJS or Scandit in the API connector?
Hope this helps.

There’s a workflow called ‘an unhandled error occurs’ that will catch the error (get rid).

That worked. You’re a champion Mark! Thanks.

Hi @2morses,
@levon implemented a barcode scanner plugin (see link below).
I think its a client-side javascript implementation so doens’t involve any api calls.
Haven’t tried it but I expect it to work very well.

@seanhoots thanks for the mention! 
there were some issues with the qr/bar code reader plugin but we have fixed those over a course of multiple updates done recently.
In any case subscribing to a plugin gives a chance to try it out even for a single day (without paying for the full month) so you can safely try it out.
Thanks!

@seanhoots - Thanks!
@levon - I just checked out your demo - now I just need to figure out how we want to integrate it into the app (this will be my first plugin). You’ll hear from me soon.
Anyone else tried out this plugin and have any feedback on it?
I hope a free bar code reader comes out soon. This would be great to add to my inventory system. @levon’s seems great but this would just be a backup from my bar code reader. If anyone finds a free one please lmk.
I try the demo but the live scanner didn’t really scan anything and when it did it read the code wrong and shown some random strings. I noticed there’s handful of errors in the test app so I decided to purchased the plugin. After installing the plugin I did try all (adjusting contrast/brightness etc…) but it doesn’t really scan bar codes live… and same bar codes are read instantly on Scandit demo apps…
So I wrote a question on their forum, no updates yet…
I really want the plugin to work tho… Scandit is quite costly…
@ryan.yeo - Thank you very much for sharing your feedback. This is what I was concerned about. In the demo, it only shows one barcode type.
@levon - What barcode types are supported with this app and are you in the process of introducing more? I would be using the barcode reader for a 5-6 character barcoded asset tag (shorter characters are more friendly for human-readable and sufficient for my use).
Thanks!
Hey is your configuration still working?
Replicated the process but seems CamCapture is having difficulty with it’s image creation and hosting.
Hi @rafe . I’m no longer using that configuration. That CamCapture plugin is very buggy. What I use instead is the picture uploader input where users can choose either a picture from their device’s photo gallery or take a picture with their camera, which is what they usually use. It works much better.
Hope this helps.

any developer is is willing to do barcode scanner?
Hi djdrbruno,
you can try to integrate the barcode scanner SDKs from Scangine (www.scangine.com) . From what we have evaluated till not, they are very fast and easy to integrate and have the best price performance ratio.
i hope, this helps.
best regards!
Hello, I would like to revive the topic of barcode scanners, maybe someone used the readers of this company : https://hdwr.eu/en/ ?
In my company, the scanner is very actively used. I am specifically thinking about buying this scanner: https://shop.hdwr.eu/gb/bluetooth/46-wifi-bluetooth-wireless-2d-code-reader-hd3200-5907614660031.html
I want a wireless connection.
Hey,
I used to buy some and I think you can have one for at a cheaper price for the same quality.
And this will be very easy to integrate will bubble since it’s a keyboard-like scanner.
