Hi,
im developing an app I want the user to be able to scan a barcode from a food product and from that barcode I would like it to display all of the food allergens within that product.
How would I go about this?
thank you

You would simply add the barcodescanner plugin to your cordova project:
ionic plugin add phonegap-plugin-barcodescanner
Documentation on how to use it in your app is here:
Sample JS code:
cordova.plugins.barcodeScanner.scan(
function (result) {
alert("We got a barcode\n" +
"Result: " + result.text + "\n" +
"Format: " + result.format + "\n" +
"Cancelled: " + result.cancelled);
},
function (error) {
alert("Scanning failed: " + error);
}
);
…where do you find the list of food allergens for products?
I want to store the data into firebase so it will post the information once the user has scanned. how would i go about this?
I will be using a website ive found that lists all the products for allergens
