@JulianStremel,
Did you already have a look at the node-red-dashboard-2-ui-webcam to send webcam images to Node-RED? And then process the bar/qr codes in your Node-RED flow? Or do you have any arguments to do the barcode scanning in the dashboard frontend, and send only the extracted code to Node-RED?
About https: that is outside the scope of the dashboard itself. Perhaps you can tell a bit more about your setup? Because when talking about qr/bar code scanning, I assume it is not a simple home automation. So I expect you have already setup some security (which can provide you with https connections)?

For warehousing and inventory it would be awesome to be able to use a devices camera as a bar/qr code reader/scanner.
Unfortunately all browsers will only allow access to the camera over a https connection... so i do not know how far general support in that direction is...
If https is possible i think vue-qrcode-reader could be a feasable library
Have you provided an initial effort estimate for this issue?
