Version 2.1.1

  • Fixed dashboard section exceeding the parent HTML element width.

  • Added support for following beta APIs which allows modifying running video
    stream state, which camera stream is running.

    /**
     * Returns the capabilities of the running video track.
     * 
     * Note: Should only be called if {@code Html5QrcodeScanner#getState()}
     *   returns {@code Html5QrcodeScannerState#SCANNING} or 
     *   {@code Html5QrcodeScannerState#PAUSED}.
     *
     * @beta This is an experimental API
     * @returns the capabilities of a running video track.
     * @throws error if the scanning is not in running state.
     */
    public getRunningTrackCapabilities(): MediaTrackCapabilities;
    
    /**
     * Apply a video constraints on running video track from camera.
     *
     * Note: Should only be called if {@code Html5QrcodeScanner#getState()}
     *   returns {@code Html5QrcodeScannerState#SCANNING} or 
     *   {@code Html5QrcodeScannerState#PAUSED}.
     *
     * @beta This is an experimental API
     * @param {MediaTrackConstraints} specifies a variety of video or camera
     *  controls as defined in
     *  https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/MediaTrackConstraints
     * @returns a Promise which succeeds if the passed constraints are applied,
     *  fails otherwise.
     * @throws error if the scanning is not in running state.
     */
    public applyVideoConstraints(videoConstaints: MediaTrackConstraints)   

    Important note: Both these APIs are beta and not publicly documented.

  • Support for pausing and resuming code scanning in camera scan mode. New APIs
    are added to both Html5QrcodeScanner and Html5Qrcode. They should only be called when the scanner state is Html5QrcodeScannerState#SCANNING (== 2) or
    Html5QrcodeScannerState#PAUSED (== 3).

    APIs added:

    /**
     * Pauses the ongoing scan.
     * 
     * Note: this will not stop the viewfinder, but stop decoding camera stream.
     * 
     * @throws error if method is called when scanner is not in scanning state.
     */
    public pause();
    
    /**
     * Resumes the paused scan.
     * 
     * Note: with this caller will start getting results in success and error
     * callbacks.
     * 
     * @throws error if method is called when scanner is not in paused state.
     */
    public resume();
    
        /**
     * Gets state of the camera scan.
     *
     * @returns state of type {@enum ScannerState}.
     */
    public getState(): Html5QrcodeScannerState;

    Example usage:

    let html5QrcodeScanner = new Html5QrcodeScanner(
        "reader", 
        { 
            fps: 10,
            qrbox: {width: 250, height: 250},
            rememberLastUsedCamera: true,
            aspectRatio: 1.7777778
        });
    
    function onScanSuccess(decodedText, decodedResult) {
        if (html5QrcodeScanner.getState() 
            !== Html5QrcodeScannerState.NOT_STARTED) {
            // Add this check to ensure success callback is not being called
            // from file based scanner.
    
            // Pause on scan result
            html5QrcodeScanner.pause();
        }
    
    
        // Handle your business logic
        // ...
    
        // .. ok to resume now or elsewhere.
        // just call html5QrcodeScanner.resume();
        // Make sure to check if the state is !== NOT_STARTED
    }
    html5QrcodeScanner.render(onScanSuccess);

    Note: when camera scan is paused it adds a UI element indicating that state.
