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.
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.
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.
The Barcode Scanner SDK supports scanning the most common barcode types, maximizing efficiency for today's most progressive mobile apps.
The Barcode Scanner by barKoder app will provide you with an easy-to-use tool designed to showcase the versatility and functionality of our Barcode Scanner SDK in capturing all supported barcode formats, including DPM-engraved Data Matrix codes.
Apart from the plethora of useful features, including a variety of options when it comes to exporting the results of each successful barcode scan, you’ll have access to a specially designed DPM scanning template containing all optimum DPM decoding settings.
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.
