What react-native-qrcode-scanner offers that react-native-camera doesn't? #224

Closed nelsonprsousa closed 4 years ago

I was reading react-native-camera documentation and seems that react-native-camera already reads QR codes.

The following barcode types can be recognised:

aztec code128 code39 code39mod43 code93 ean13 (iOS converts upca barcodes to ean13 by adding a leading 0) ean8 pdf417 qr upce interleaved2of5 (when available) itf14 (when available) datamatrix (when available)

What am I missing here?

from the readme:

This module was originally written because the author couldn't find a module that could be simply plugged into a project without requiring too much setup.

Also see the screenshot in the readme for the user interface this library offers, if you'd like anything too different, I'd recommend implementing using react-native-camera

Thanks, I wasn't completely sure regarding the differences. 👍
