I want to create a PWA which acts as a bar- and QR-code scanner. For detecting QR-codes I use jsQR (see: https://github.com/cozmo/jsQR), for barcodes, I want to use QuaggaJS (see: https://serratus.github.io/quaggaJS/). To select the type of code that should be detected, I have some radio buttons on my site, which call the function "triggerScannerInitialisation()" (see below). Scanning QR-codes is working already, but scanning barcodes causes some problems. The camera image is not loaded properly. If I run the same code on testing site that only uses QuaggaJS, scanning barcodes works as it should do. I assume that opening two camera streams from the same camera may cause a problem. Can anyone give me a hint on how to use both with the same camera stream?
// variables for stopping scanner types on next run
let stopJsQrOnNextRun = true;
function triggerScannerInitialisation() {
// get the selected code type
let codeTypeSelector = document.querySelector('input[name="code_type_selector"]:checked').value;
switch (codeTypeSelector) {
case 'barcode':
stopJsQrOnNextRun = true;
startQuaggaJs();
break;
case 'qr':
stopQuaggaJs();
stopJsQrOnNextRun = false;
startJsQr();
break;
default:
return false;
}
}
function startQuaggaJs() {
document.getElementById("barcode_camera_div").hidden = false;
Quagga.init({
