# PhoneGap Plugin BarcodeScanner
================================

[![Build Status](https://travis-ci.org/phonegap/phonegap-plugin-barcodescanner.svg)](https://travis-ci.org/phonegap/phonegap-plugin-barcodescanner)

**Note: This repository is no longer maintained. The official repository is now at [phonegap/phonegap-plugin-barcodescanner](http://github.com/phonegap/phonegap-plugin-barcodescanner).**

Cross-platform BarcodeScanner for Cordova / PhoneGap.

Follows the [Cordova Plugin spec](http://cordova.apache.org/docs/en/5.0.0/plugin_ref_spec.md), so that it works with [Plugman](https://github.com/apache/cordova-plugman).

## Installation

This requires phonegap 5.0+ ( current stable v3.0.0 )

phonegap plugin add phonegap-plugin-barcodescanner

Older versions of phonegap can still install via the __deprecated__ id ( stale v2.0.1 )

phonegap plugin add com.phonegap.plugins.barcodescanner

It is also possible to install via repo url directly ( unstable )

phonegap plugin add https://github.com/phonegap/phonegap-plugin-barcodescanner.git

### Supported Platforms

- Android
- iOS
- Windows 8
- Windows Phone 8
- BlackBerry 10
- Browser

Note: the Android source for this project includes an Android Library Project.
plugman currently doesn't support Library Project refs, so its been
prebuilt as a jar library. Any updates to the Library Project should be
committed with an updated jar.

## Using the plugin ##
The plugin creates the object `cordova/plugin/BarcodeScanner` with the method `scan(success, fail)`.

The following barcode types are currently supported:
### Android

* QR_CODE
* DATA_MATRIX
* UPC_E
* UPC_A
* EAN_8
* EAN_13
* CODE_128
* CODE_39
* CODE_93
* CODABAR
* ITF
* RSS14
* PDF417
* RSS_EXPANDED

### iOS

* QR_CODE
* DATA_MATRIX
* UPC_E
* UPC_A
* EAN_8
* EAN_13
* CODE_128
* CODE_39
* ITF

### Windows8

* UPC_A
* UPC_E
* EAN_8
* EAN_13
* CODE_39
* CODE_93
* CODE_128
* ITF
* CODABAR
* MSI
* RSS14
* QR_CODE
* DATA_MATRIX
* AZTEC
* PDF417

### Windows Phone 8

* UPC_A
* UPC_E
* EAN_8
* EAN_13
* CODE_39
* CODE_93
* CODE_128
* ITF
* CODABAR
* MSI
* RSS14
* QR_CODE
* DATA_MATRIX
* AZTEC
* PDF417

### BlackBerry 10
* UPC_A
* UPC_E
* EAN_8
* EAN_13
* CODE_39
* CODE_128
* ITF
* DATA_MATRIX
* AZTEC

`success` and `fail` are callback functions. Success is passed an object with data, type and cancelled properties. Data is the text representation of the barcode data, type is the type of barcode detected and cancelled is whether or not the user cancelled the scan.

A full example could be:
```
cordova.plugins.barcodeScanner.scan(
function (result) {
alert("We got a barcode\n" +
"Result: " + result.text + "\n" +
"Format: " + result.format + "\n" +
"Cancelled: " + result.cancelled);
},
function (error) {
alert("Scanning failed: " + error);
}
);
```

## Encoding a Barcode ##

The plugin creates the object `cordova.plugins.barcodeScanner` with the method `encode(type, data, success, fail)`.

Supported encoding types:

* TEXT_TYPE
* EMAIL_TYPE
* PHONE_TYPE
* SMS_TYPE

```
A full example could be:

cordova.plugins.barcodeScanner.encode(cordova.plugins.barcodeScanner.Encode.TEXT_TYPE, "http://www.nytimes.com", function(success) {
alert("encode success: " + success);
}, function(fail) {
alert("encoding failed: " + fail);
}
);
```

## Windows8 quirks ##
Windows 8 implementation currently doesn't support encode functionality.

## Windows Phone 8 quirks ##
Windows Phone 8 implementation currently doesn't support encode functionality.

## BlackBerry 10 quirks
BlackBerry 10 implementation currently doesn't support encode functionality.
Cancelling a scan on BlackBerry 10 is done by touching the screen.
