Package Overview

Package selection guidance compiled from public package information, community data, and project usage.

A cross-platform QR code scanner for Flutter apps, leveraging a Dart-based decoder to work seamlessly on both Android and iOS. It enables real-time scanning without relying on native camera APIs, offering a lightweight and efficient solution for integrating QR code functionality directly in Dart. The package is ideal for applications requiring quick data extraction from QR codes, such as ticketing, authentication, or product information retrieval. Built with simplicity in mind, it provides straightforward integration and reliable decoding performance.

Use cases

  • Scanning QR codes in mobile apps
  • Digital ticket validation
  • Product information lookup
  • User authentication via QR
  • Quick data transfer between devices

Key features

  • Cross-platform support (iOS & Android)
  • Dart-native decoding engine
  • Lightweight and fast
  • Simple API integration
  • Real-time scanning capability

Suitable for

  • Developers building mobile apps with QR scanning needs
  • Apps requiring offline QR decoding
  • Projects avoiding native camera dependencies

Considerations

  • Limited to QR codes (not barcodes)
  • Performance depends on device camera quality
  • May require camera permissions
  • No built-in UI—requires custom implementation

Installation

First, add qr_code_dart_scan as a dependency in your pubspec.yaml file.

iOS

iOS 10.0 of higher is needed to use the camera plugin. If compiling for any version lower than 10.0 make sure to check the iOS version before using the camera plugin. For example, using the device_info plugin.

Add two rows to the ios/Runner/Info.plist:

  • one with the key Privacy - Camera Usage Description and a usage description.
  • and one with the key Privacy - Microphone Usage Description and a usage description.

Or in text format add the key:

<key>NSCameraUsageDescription</key>
<string>Can I use the camera please?</string>
<key>NSMicrophoneUsageDescription</key>
<string>Can I use the mic please?</string>
Android

Change the minimum Android sdk version to 21 (or higher) in your android/app/build.gradle file.

minSdkVersion 21

It's important to note that the MediaRecorder class is not working properly on emulators, as stated in the documentation: https://developer.android.com/reference/android/media/MediaRecorder. Specifically, when recording a video with sound enabled and trying to play it back, the duration won't be correct and you will only see the first frame.

          // do anything with result
          // result.text      -> String
          // result.format    -> BarcodeFormat
          // result.corners   -> List<Point<double>>, in camera preview
          //                     coordinates. Use `result.corners.toOffsets`
          //                     to paint them.
          // result.rawBytes  -> Uint8List?
          // result.timestamp -> DateTime
        },
      ),
    );
    

ATTENTION

Always use this package in portrait mode.

There is a bug in the camera plugin that sometimes the image is rotated 90 degrees, to avoid this problem, you can use the imageDecodeOrientation parameter to force the image to be decoded in the correct orientation.

For example, if you are reading an ITF code, you can force the image to be decoded in landscape orientation.

imageDecodeOrientation: ImageDecodeOrientation.landscape,

if you want to force the image to be decoded in portrait orientation, you can use the following code:

imageDecodeOrientation: ImageDecodeOrientation.portrait,
Camera performance

The decoder process is done in dart code. So, in flutter debug mode, you will not have a good performance. But in release mode, the performance is very better.
