A set of Vue.js components, allowing you to detect and decode QR codes, without leaving the browser.

QrcodeStream accesses the device camera and continuously scans the incoming frames.
QrcodeDropZone renders to an empty region where you can drag-and-drop images to be decoded.
QrcodeCapture is a classic file upload field, instantly scanning all files you select.

All components are responsive. What doesn't fit your layout can be customized.

You also get simple elegant APIs:

<qrcode-stream @decode="onDecode"></qrcode-stream>

methods: {
  onDecode (decodedString) {
    // ...
  }
}

Installation

npm install --save vue-qrcode-reader

or with Yarn:

yarn add vue-qrcode-reader

Default import

You can either import the components independantly and register them in another components scope:

import { QrcodeStream, QrcodeDropZone, QrcodeCapture } from 'vue-qrcode-reader'

Vue.component('my-component', {
  components: {
    QrcodeStream,
    QrcodeDropZone,
    QrcodeCapture
  },

  // ...
))

Or alternatively register all of them globally right away:

import Vue from 'vue'
import VueQrcodeReader from 'vue-qrcode-reader'

Vue.use(VueQrcodeReader)

⚠️ A css file is included when importing the package. You may have to setup your bundler to embed the css in your page.

Browser

All the examples on the demo page utilize single-file components. To use them in your project you need a build tool like webpack. Check out #35 for a simpler example you can use right in the browser.

Besides Vue you need to include the following CSS and JS file:

<link href="vue-qrcode-reader.css" rel="stylesheet">
<script src="vue-qrcode-reader.browser.js"></script>

The global variable window.VueQrcodeReader should now be available.

All components should be automatically registered globally. If not, you can do it like this:

Vue.use(VueQrcodeReader)

You can also register specific components locally, in one of your components:

Vue.component('my-component', {
  components: {
    'qrcode-stream': VueQrcodeReader.QrcodeStream,
    'qrcode-drop-zone': VueQrcodeReader.QrcodeDropZone,
    'qrcode-capture': VueQrcodeReader.QrcodeCapture
  },

  // ...
)
