A QR Scanner is a device or software that can read and decode QR codes. QR codes are two-dimensional barcodes that can store a variety of information, such as text, URLs, contact information, and more.
QR code scanners can be used to scan QR codes in a variety of ways. For example, they can be used to:
- Open a website in a web browser
- Add a contact to a phone book
- Pay for goods or services
- Access loyalty programs
- Log in to websites or applications
- Share files
QR code scanners are available in a variety of forms, including:
- Mobile phone apps
- Point-of-sale (POS) devices
- Wearable devices
- Industrial scanners
QR code scanners are a convenient and efficient way to access information and perform tasks. They are becoming increasingly popular as QR codes become more widely used.
Here are some of the benefits of using a QR code scanner:
- Convenient: QR code scanners can be used to scan QR codes quickly and easily.
- Efficient: QR code scanners can save time and effort by eliminating the need to manually enter information.
- Secure: QR codes can be encrypted to protect the information they contain.
- Flexible: QR codes can be used to store a variety of information, making them versatile and adaptable.
If you are looking for a convenient and efficient way to access information and perform tasks, a QR code scanner is a good option to consider.
In this tutorial i will show you how to make QR Scanner web based using Laravel & Javascript, it's easy and simple. We will using Javascript code from JSQRScanner Github (https://github.com/jbialobr/JsQRScanner), and combine with Laravel.
- Install new laravel project (in this tutorial we will using Laravel version 8)
composer create-project laravel/laravel:^8.0 example-app
- Download all javascript files from https://github.com/jbialobr/JsQRScanner (Actually we don't need all folder, we just using JsQRScanner/docs/* . Copy all javascript folder in public folder
- Open resources/views/welcome.blade.php, and modify code like bellow
