Overview
The scanning_effect package provides a customizable scanning animation for camera views, ideal for QR code and document scanning applications. Using CustomPainter, it wraps around the camera feed with animated borders that simulate a scanning effect. Developers can adjust border colors, thickness, and animation speed to match their app's design. The package supports multiple platforms including Android, iOS, Web, macOS, Windows, and Linux, making it versatile for cross-platform development. It enhances user experience by providing visual feedback during scanning processes.
