If you want to integrate a barcode scanner in your Ionic app you can choose from several Javascript libraries, but usually a native approach in a real app still works best.
In this Quick Win we will build a barcode and QR scanner using the Capacitor community barcode scanner plugin. At the time writing, it only supports iOS and Android but web support (in case you have a PWA) is planned for the future.
Also, you could implement a more manual approach for the web or PWA following my
PWA QR scanner tutorial.
The full quick win with snippets is only available to Ionic Academy members.
