With the barKoder plugin for NativeScript, you can seamlessly integrate advanced barcode scanning functionality into your cross-platform mobile applications, ensuring a smooth and native-like experience on both Android and iOS.

NativeScript enables developers to build truly native apps using JavaScript, TypeScript, or Angular, while accessing native APIs directly without the need for wrappers. The barKoder plugin takes full advantage of this by providing features like continuous scanning, high-performance decoding, and broad symbology support. Whether you're targeting Android, iOS, or both, the barKoder SDK for NativeScript offers a robust and efficient solution for embedding enterprise-grade barcode scanning into your apps.

How NativeScript works

NativeScript enables developers to build truly native mobile applications for Android and iOS using JavaScript, TypeScript, or frameworks like Angular and Vue.js. It provides direct access to native APIs without needing wrappers, allowing full control over platform-specific functionality while maintaining a shared codebase for cross-platform development.

NativeScript provides a powerful framework for building native Android and iOS applications using web technologies like JavaScript, TypeScript, and popular frameworks such as Angular and Vue.js. It grants direct access to native platform APIs, eliminating the need for WebViews and enabling performance and functionality equivalent to fully native apps.

Applications built with NativeScript run within a lightweight JavaScript virtual machine embedded in a native app shell, which bridges JavaScript code to the native runtime. This architecture allows developers to share code across platforms while maintaining native performance and look-and-feel. The following diagram illustrates a high-level overview of a NativeScript app’s architecture.

Supported platforms

NativeScript apps for Android and iOS can be developed using JavaScript, TypeScript, or frameworks like Angular and Vue.js. Android development is supported on Windows, macOS, and Linux, but building and deploying iOS apps requires a macOS system with Xcode installed.

  • Android 5.0 (API 21) or higher is required
  • iOS 11 or higher is required
  • macOS with Xcode is required to build and deploy iOS apps
  • Windows 10 version 1809 or higher, or Windows 11, is supported for Android development

Barcode Scanner SDK Features

Damaged Barcodes

At the core of our cutting-edge decoding solution lies MatrixSight®, an algorithm that some among us dare to deem groundbreaking. Exclusively featured in our barKoder software, MatrixSight is meticulously designed to redefine the very standards of mobile barcode recognition. This exceptional algorithm transcends the constraints of conventional decoding, establishing a new benchmark for reliability, accuracy, and versatility.

Deformed Barcodes

Segment Decoding® transcends beyond anything other barcode scanners can achieve, and that is successful recognition of 1D barcodes that have been deformed, crumpled, wrinkled and otherwise altered to the degree where a straight line can't pass through all its bars, a limitation that other decoders can't alleviate. Achieved through barkoder's advanced barcode location detection algorithms, Segment Decoding® technique is unmatched in its performance levels and pattern matching capabilities, amortizing even the highest degree of barcode damages, including printing errors, label damage, scanner angles, low print quality, as well as various other levels of physical damage or environmental conditions.

Blurry Barcodes

Accurately and reliably scan EAN & UPC barcodes regardless of the degree and the type of blur that affects them, be that motion, lens or focus blur.

Multiple Barcodes

Want to scan multiple barcodes regardless of type and density continuously? Look no further than barKoder's Batch MultiScan feature, whose result caching and location reconstruction techniques provide excellent user-experience and results.

VIN Scanner

When you combine MatrixSight® & Segment Decoding®, the result is breathtaking and leads to the most advanced VIN barcode scanner on the market, able to capture the data even within the most stubborn & difficult to read VIN-powered Code 39, Code 128, Data Matrix & QR Codes.

MRZ Scanner

The fastest & most accurate Machine Readable Zone (MRZ) scanning software solution for capturing data from any MRZ- empowered biometric document, ensuring streamlined, reliable identity verification. With its easy integration and seamless setup, it represents an almost turnkey solution for any mobile platform without extensive configuration.

PDF417 Scanner

Applying what we learned from MatrixSight® to our PDF417 barcode recognition engine was, for a lack of a better word, unparalleled. PDF417 barcodes, usually applied to identification documents such as driver's licenses, ID cards, vehicle registration discs and similar use-cases, due to wearing and extensive use naturally fade and lose their basic elements such as its start and stop patterns. But PDF417-LineSight® doesn't stop here and goes far beyond - a PDF417 barcode can now also miss its start and stop row indications and even entire data columns and it still wouldn't be beyond the reach of barKoder, which will capture the entirety of its data regardless.

DPM Scanner

barKoder SDK's unique algorithms and features provided all the necessary conditions for creating a special mode for decoding even the most challenging Data Matrix barcodes, i.e. those engraved utilizing the Direct Part Marking (DPM) methods, something that previously was only possible with extremely expensive and specialized hardware scanners. Now all you need to achieve such barcode reading levels is your own personal smart device!

DotCode Scanner

barKoder'’s barcode scanning API features the best DotCode reading algorithm by a significant margin when compared to any competitor product in the software-based barcode reading market, be that closed or open-source, rivaling even the best hardware solutions
