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 Types Explained: 1D vs 2D and Which One You Should Use

Barcodes come in two main types: 1D (linear) and 2D (two-dimensional). While 1D barcodes are simple, low-cost, and perfect for retail, 2D barcodes pack more data into less space, making them ideal for healthcare, logistics, and mobile use. This guide explains the differences, pros and cons, and helps you decide which barcode type best fits your business needs.
