React Native Barcode Scanner SDK

The Scandit React Native barcode scanner SDK supports 25+ of the most common barcodes, including UPC, EAN, Code 39, Code 128, ITF, Code 93, Codabar, Databar, MS1 Plessey, QR codes, DataMatrix, PDF417 and Aztec codes.

For a detailed list refer to our Supported Symbologies documentation page.

There’s also no guarantee that barcode integrity is sound. The Scandit React Native barcode scanner SDK can handle instances where barcodes are torn, wrapped in plastic, are tiny. It works in low light, at wide angles and at long distances.

These tables give you an indication of built app size containing the Scandit SDK for iOS and Android.

Detailed specifications are available in our React Native documentation. This includes information on minimum operating system versions, CPU architectures and more.

Our production licenses do not require a continuous internet connection. However, test licenses require an internet connection during scanning.

If you need to test offline, we can provide a license key – please contact support.

When choosing a barcode scanning solution for React Native, the two key areas to consider are scanning performance and UX.

Scanning performance needs to match the speed of your business. You’ll need to test accuracy, speed, field of view and how the library performs in low light, when scanning at a distance, or when barcode integrity is compromised – for example, if barcodes are torn, partially obscured, wrapped in plastic, or reflecting light that causes glare in the camera lens.

As much as that, though, success depends on building a smooth, helpful, unobtrusive UX. Building a smartphone scanning UI is not as straightforward as it seems. Getting navigation, interaction, and feedback right is the difference between user success and frustration.

Implementing a barcode scanner into your React Native app requires more than changing camera permissions and extracting data.

When choosing a React Native barcode scanning solution, there are two areas that generally cause downstream problems for developers: poor UX and poor scanning performance.
