+title: BarcodeScanner
+add_url: cordova-plugin-barcodescanner
+description: Access the barcodescanner plugin
+---
+
+The Barcode Scanner is made available in `Vue.cordova.barcodeScanner`. You may then access the two functions to scan and encode barcodes.
+
+Works with `cordova-plugin-barcodescanner` and the better `phonegap-plugin-barcodescanner` (which supports configuration options as third argument in the scan function and works also on Android API level >=23)
+
+###### Sample code
+With the `phonegap-plugin-barcodescanner`:
+```javascript
+Vue.cordova.barcodeScanner.scan(
+    function (result) {
+      alert('We got a barcode\n' +
+      'Result: ' + result.text + '\n' +
+      'Format: ' + result.format + '\n' +
+      'Cancelled: ' + result.cancelled)
+    },
+    function (error) {
+      alert('Scanning failed: ' + error)
+    },
+    {
+      preferFrontCamera: false, // iOS and Android
+      showFlipCameraButton: true, // iOS and Android
+      showTorchButton: true, // iOS and Android
+      torchOn: false, // Android, launch with the torch switched on (if available)
+      saveHistory: false, // Android, save scan history (default false)
+      prompt: 'Scan a barcode', // Android
+      resultDisplayDuration: 500, // Android, display scanned text for X ms. 0 suppresses it entirely, default 1500
+      // formats: 'QR_CODE,PDF_417', // default: all but PDF_417 and RSS_EXPANDED
+      // orientation: 'landscape', // Android only (portrait|landscape), default unset so it rotates with the device
+      disableAnimations: true, // iOS
+      disableSuccessBeep: false // iOS and Android
+    }
+  )
+}
+```
+
+With the `cordova-plugin-barcodescanner`:
+```javascript
+Vue.cordova.barcodeScanner.scan(
+    function (result) {
+      alert('We got a barcode\n' +
+      'Result: ' + result.text + '\n' +
+      'Format: ' + result.format + '\n' +
+      'Cancelled: ' + result.cancelled)
+    },
+    function (error) {
+      alert('Scanning failed: ' + error)
+    }
+  )
+}
+```
+
+###### Install
+
+```bash
+cordova plugin add phonegap-plugin-barcodescanner
+```
+or
+```bash
+cordova plugin add cordova-plugin-barcodescanner
+```
