## Breaking Changes v5.0.0

Version 5.0.0 brings some breaking changes. However, some are reverted in version 5.1.0. Please see the list below for all breaking changes, and Changelog.md for a more detailed list.

* ~~The `autoStart` attribute has been removed from the `MobileScannerController`. The controller should be manually started on-demand.~~ (Reverted in version 5.1.0)

* ~~A controller is now required for the `MobileScanner` widget.~~ (Reverted in version 5.1.0)

* ~~The `onDetect` method has been removed from the `MobileScanner` widget. Instead, listen to `MobileScannerController.barcodes` directly.~~ (Reverted in version 5.1.0)

* The `width` and `height` of `BarcodeCapture` have been removed, in favor of `size`.

* The `raw` attribute is now `Object?` instead of `dynamic`, so that it participates in type promotion.

* The `MobileScannerArguments` class has been removed from the public API, as it is an internal type.

* The `cameraFacingOverride` named argument for the `start()` method has been renamed to `cameraDirection`.

* The `analyzeImage` function now correctly returns a `BarcodeCapture?` instead of a boolean.

* The `formats` attribute of the `MobileScannerController` is now non-null.

* The `MobileScannerState` enum has been renamed to `MobileScannerAuthorizationState`.

* The various `ValueNotifier`s for the camera state have been removed. Use the `value` of the `MobileScannerController` instead.

* The `hasTorch` getter has been removed. Instead, use the torch state of the controller's value.

* The `TorchState` enum now provides a new value for unavailable flashlights.

* The  `onPermissionSet`, `onStart` and `onScannerStarted` methods have been removed from the `MobileScanner` widget. Instead, await `MobileScannerController.start()`.

* The `startDelay` has been removed from the `MobileScanner` widget. Instead, use a delay between manual starts of one or more controllers.

* The `overlay` widget of the `MobileScanner` has been replaced by a new property, `overlayBuilder`, which provides the constraints for the overlay.

* The torch can no longer be toggled on the web, as this is only available for image tracks and not video tracks. As a result the torch state for the web will always be `TorchState.unavailable`.

* The zoom scale can no longer be modified on the web, as this is only available for image tracks and not video tracks. As a result, the zoom scale will always be `1.0`.

## Features Supported

See the example app for detailed implementation information.

## Platform specific setup

### Android

This package uses by default the **bundled version** of MLKit Barcode-scanning for Android. This version is immediately available to the device. But it will increase the size of the app by approximately 3 to 10 MB.

The alternative is to use the **unbundled version** of MLKit Barcode-scanning for Android. This version is downloaded on first use via Google Play Services. It increases the app size by around 600KB.

[You can read more about the difference between the two versions here.](https://developers.google.com/ml-kit/vision/barcode-scanning/android)

To use the **unbundled version** of the MLKit Barcode-scanning, add the following line to your `/android/gradle.properties` file:

```

dev.steenbakker.mobile_scanner.useUnbundled=true

```

### iOS

_iOS arm64 Simulators are currently not yet supported, until the migration to the Vision API is complete._

_See_ https://github.com/juliansteenbakker/mobile_scanner/issues/1225

**Add the following keys to your Info.plist file, located in /ios/Runner/Info.plist:**

NSCameraUsageDescription - describe why your app needs access to the camera. This is called Privacy - Camera Usage Description in the visual editor.

**If you want to use the local gallery feature from [image_picker](https://pub.dev/packages/image_picker)**

NSPhotoLibraryUsageDescription - describe why your app needs permission for the photo library. This is called Privacy - Photo Library Usage Description in the visual editor.

  Example,

  ```

  NSCameraUsageDescription

  This app needs camera access to scan QR codes

  NSPhotoLibraryUsageDescription

  This app needs photos access to get QR code from photo library

  ```

### macOS

Ensure that you granted camera permission in XCode -> Signing & Capabilities:



## Web

As of version 5.0.0 adding the barcode scanning library script to the `index.html` is no longer required,

as the script is automatically loaded on first use.

### Providing a mirror for the barcode scanning library

If a different mirror is needed to load the barcode scanning library,

the source URL can be set beforehand.

```dart

import 'package:flutter/foundation.dart';

import 'package:mobile_scanner/mobile_scanner.dart';

final String scriptUrl = // ...

if (kIsWeb) {

  MobileScannerPlatform.instance.setBarcodeLibraryScriptUrl(scriptUrl);

}

```

## Usage

Import the package with `package:mobile_scanner/mobile_scanner.dart`.

Create a new `MobileScannerController` controller, using the required options.

Provide a `StreamSubscription` for the barcode events.

```dart

final MobileScannerController controller = MobileScannerController(

  // required options for the scanner

);

StreamSubscription? _subscription;

```

Ensure that your `State` class mixes in `WidgetsBindingObserver`, to handle lifecyle changes:

```dart

class MyState extends State with WidgetsBindingObserver {

  // ...

  @override

  void didChangeAppLifecycleState(AppLifecycleState state) {

    // If the controller is not ready, do not try to start or stop it.

    // Permission dialogs can trigger lifecycle changes before the controller is ready.

    if (!controller.value.hasCameraPermission) {

      return;

    }

    switch (state) {

      case AppLifecycleState.detached:

      case AppLifecycleState.hidden:

      case AppLifecycleState.paused:

        return;

      case AppLifecycleState.resumed:

        // Restart the scanner when the app is resumed.

        // Don't forget to resume listening to the barcode events.

        _subscription = controller.barcodes.listen(_handleBarcode);

        unawaited(controller.start());

      case AppLifecycleState.inactive:

        // Stop the scanner when the app is paused.

        // Also stop the barcode events subscription.

        unawaited(_subscription?.cancel());

        _subscription = null;

        unawaited(controller.stop());

    }

  }

  // ...

}

```

Then, start the scanner in `void initState()`:

```dart

@override

void initState() {

  super.initState();

  // Start listening to lifecycle changes.

  WidgetsBinding.instance.addObserver(this);

  // Start listening to the barcode events.

  _subscription = controller.barcodes.listen(_handleBarcode);

  // Finally, start the scanner itself.

  unawaited(controller.start());

}

```

Finally, dispose of the the `MobileScannerController` when you are done with it.

```dart

@override

Future dispose() async {

  // Stop listening to lifecycle changes.

  WidgetsBinding.instance.removeObserver(this);

  // Stop listening to the barcode events.

  unawaited(_subscription?.cancel());

  _subscription = null;

  // Dispose the widget itself.

  super.dispose();

  // Finally, dispose of the controller.

  await controller.dispose();

}

```

To display the camera preview, pass the controller to a `MobileScanner` widget.

See the [examples](example/README.md) for runnable examples of various usages,

such as the basic usage, applying a scan window, or retrieving images from the barcodes.
