Hey Ionic community!
I’m part of the Scanbot SDK team and wanted to share a tutorial on integrating barcode scanning into Capacitor apps. The guide walks through setting up a complete barcode scanning solution in just a few minutes using our Ready-to-Use UI components.
Quick background on Scanbot SDK: We’re a commercial solution that provides a proprietary scanning engine for mobile apps. All scanning happens offline on-device (no internet required). We keep the SDK always up-to-date with the latest Ionic and Capacitor releases, and we support Android 5.1+ and iOS 13+ with regular updates to ensure compatibility.
What sets the Scanbot SDK apart from ML Kit or ZXing-based scanners is its proven reliability with challenging barcodes. Our scanner is specifically optimized for scenarios that often cause issues with open-source solutions: damaged or dirty codes, tiny barcodes, dense formats like PDF417, codes on reflective surfaces, and multi-barcode detection. We provide dedicated enterprise support via chat (Slack, Teams, email – whatever customers prefer).
