QR code scanner/reader #52

Open rugk opened 6 years ago

rugk commented 6 years ago

There are also many JS libraries for just scanning a QR code:

So maybe we could integrate that, too.

rugk commented 6 years ago

Features may be:

right-click on image (or canvas, or so) -> decode QR code
click on toolbar button -> select some button there (note this button should of course not overlay the shown QR code, maybe just move in a bit when hovered) OR use context menu entry on browser_action icon -> scan from webcam

This add-on shows what I mean: https://addons.mozilla.org/de/firefox/addon/qrcode-generator-and-reader/

Possibly a good lib: https://github.com/zxing-js/library

@rugk Saw this after your link from #213

right-click on image (or canvas, or so) -> decode QR code I like this. Not too invasive and it's a good contextual option.

... scan from webcam This not so much; I like that this is a small extension. More permissions and camara use would scare me off.

Just my 2 cents.

More permissions and camara use would scare me off.

This would definitively only be requested at runtime when you use it. (It would use WebRTC, which has this built-in.) An add-on actually does not have more permissions than a usual web page in this regards…
