With the barKoder plugin for React Native, you can seamlessly integrate advanced barcode scanning functionality into your cross-platform mobile applications, delivering a consistent and native experience across both Android and iOS.

React Native enables developers to build native apps using JavaScript and React, sharing a single codebase while maintaining access to native components and performance. The barKoder plugin supports key features such as continuous scanning, high-performance decoding, and compatibility with all major barcode types. Whether you're targeting Android, iOS, or both, the barKoder SDK for React Native provides a powerful and efficient solution for integrating barcode scanning into your apps.

How React Native works

React Native enables a write-once, run-anywhere experience by allowing developers to build mobile apps using JavaScript and React. It renders native components directly and bridges JavaScript code to platform-specific APIs, providing a high-performance, truly native experience while maintaining a shared codebase across Android and iOS platforms.

React Native provides a framework for building native Android and iOS applications using JavaScript and the React library. Instead of compiling to web components, React Native bridges JavaScript code to native platform APIs and renders real native UI elements, delivering a truly native user experience with shared logic and components.

React Native relies on a JavaScript runtime—such as Hermes or JavaScriptCore—embedded within the app to execute code, and it communicates with native modules through a bridge. The architecture supports the integration of native code when needed, and plugins like barKoder extend its capabilities with high-performance features like barcode scanning. The following diagram shows a high-level view of a React Native application's architecture.

Supported platforms

React Native apps for Android and iOS can be built using development environments such as Android Studio, Xcode, or Visual Studio Code. While Android development is supported on Windows, macOS, and Linux, 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
