Barcode Scanning User Experience
Your component can deliver any user experience you desire, but there’s a common flow for
any component that can scan a barcode.
- A Lightning web component displays a button (or other user interface control) to start a
scan.
- When the button is pressed, BarcodeScanner invokes the mobile device’s user interface for
the camera and barcode scanning function. When the camera detects a valid barcode, it
displays a bounding box around the barcode, reads the data from the barcode, and returns the
result to the Lightning web component that invoked it.
- The Lightning web component displays or otherwise processes the results of the scan.
