# :construction: WIP: BarcodeDetector Polyfill :construction: 
Spec compliant polyfill of the [Barcode Detection API](https://wicg.github.io/shape-detection-api/#barcode-detection-api).
It can be used for barcode/QR-code recognition in images from various kinds of 
sources including `<canvas>`, `<img>`, `<image>` (inside SVGs), `<video>`, `File`, `Blob`, `ImageData`, `ImageBitmap`, `OffscreenCanvas`.

[TODO: live demos]

## Installation

```sh
npm install barcode-detector
```
```js
import BarcodeDetector from "barcode-detector"

// polyfill unless already supported
if (!("BarcodeDetector" in window)) {
  window.BarcodeDetector = BarcodeDetector
}
```
