I need to create a bootstrap web page that will allow the user to read a barcode from the camera.
I am using Coldfusion but I can't seem to find any resource to help read the barcode from the camera.
Ideally the user clicks a button to open the camera and read the barcode then submit it to an API.
If you are using CF for a web app, then you will have to add code to your web page to get permission to use the camera. Here is some information on that: https://developers.google.com/web/fundamentals/media/capturing-images/ or this: How to access a mobile's camera from a web app? Then you store the image in a form Input and submit it back to CF. Use the CfUpload to put the picture into a local file. After the image is received, use a library like Zxing to decode the image https://github.com/zxing/zxing
Does that help?
