## What is a Code Scanner?
A Code Scanner is a separate Camera output (just like photo or video) that can detect a variety of machine-readable codes, such as:
- **QR**: Square QR codes
- **Aztec**: Square Aztec codes
- **Data Matrix**: Square Data Matrix codes
- **Barcode (EAN)**: EAN-13 or EAN-8 Barcodes
- **Barcode (Code)**: Code-128, Code-39 or Code-93 Barcodes
- **Barcode (other)**: Codabar, ITF-14, UPC-E or PDF-417 Barcodes
## Setup
On iOS, the Code Scanner uses the platform-native APIs and can be used out of the box.
On Android, the [MLKit Vision Barcode Scanning](https://developers.google.com/ml-kit/vision/barcode-scanning) API will be used, and the model (2.2MB) needs to be downloaded first.
<Tabs
groupId="environment"
defaultValue="rn"
values={[
{label: 'React Native', value: 'rn'},
{label: 'Expo', value: 'expo'}
]}>
<TabItem value="rn">
To download the model when the user installs your app, add this to your `AndroidManifest.xml` file:
```xml
<application ...>
...
<meta-data
android:name="com.google.mlkit.vision.DEPENDENCIES"
android:value="barcode">
</application>
```
</TabItem>
<TabItem value="expo">
To download the model when the user installs your app, add the `enableCodeScanner` flag to your Expo config (`app.json`, `app.config.json` or `app.config.js`):
```json
{
"name": "my app",
"plugins": [
[
"react-native-vision-camera",
{
// ...
"enableCodeScanner": true
}
]
]
}
```
</TabItem>
</Tabs>
## Usage
To use a codescanner, simply create a [`CodeScanner`](/docs/api/interfaces/CodeScanner) and pass it to the `<Camera>`:
<Tabs
groupId="component-style"
defaultValue="hooks"
values={[
{label: 'Hooks API', value: 'hooks'},
{label: 'Imperative API', value: 'imperative'}
]}>
<TabItem value="hooks">
```tsx
const codeScanner = useCodeScanner({
codeTypes: ['qr', 'ean-13'],
onCodeScanned: (codes) => {
console.log(`Scanned ${codes.length} codes!`)
}
})
return <Camera {...props} codeScanner={codeScanner} />
```
The result of this will automatically be memoized.
</TabItem>
<TabItem value="imperative">
```ts
const codeScanner: CodeScanner = {
codeTypes: ['qr', 'ean-13'],
onCodeScanned: (codes) => {
console.log(`Scanned ${codes.length} codes!`)
}
}
```
Make sure to memoize the result of this, as every change in this will trigger a Camera session re-build.
```tsx
render() {
return <Camera {...props} codeScanner={this.codeScanner} />
}
```
</TabItem>
</Tabs>
## Separate Output
Since the Code Scanner is a separate camera output (just like photo or video), it cannot be attached simultaneously with photo and video enabled.
You need to disable either `photo`, `video`, or the `codeScanner`.
## Code result
The Code Scanner will call your [`onCodeScanned`](/docs/api/interfaces/CodeScanner#oncodescanned) callback with all detected codes ([`Code`](/docs/api/interfaces/Code)), including their decoded string value, and their coordinates on the screen relative to the Preview.
