This app is a demo of a cross-platform (desktop + mobile) Tauri application that can read QR codes.
The parsed QR code value(s) will be written into the clipboard.
Check out the release page to get started.
On desktop (Windows, Linux, MacOS), this is a tray app that allows the user to:
- Scan for QR codes on the entire screen (not reliable for larger resolution).
- Crop an area of the screen to search for a QR code.
- Load an image from the clipboard and parse a QR code from it.
We use screenshots and
bardecoder crates
to scan and extract the QR code.
On mobile (iOS, Android) it is a simple app with only one main window to scan barcodes via the camera.
We use tauri-plugin-barcode-scanner,
which uses the native mobile functionality to scan a
QR code with the camera.
To start with building and development, please make sure you followed the prerequisites installation guide from Tauri and all dependencies are installed on your system.
If you want to build for mobile, you need to follow the install steps for the mobile development preriquisites.
This repository uses pnpm for the frontend packages,
so please make sure you have installed it as well.
Starting from npm you could install it via npm install -g pnpm.
