Examples

Example 1: Barcode layer on a button

Show ExampleHide Example

When tapped, the barcode layer opens a camera view and, in this example, is positioned over a button.

  "successActions": [
    {
      "type": "setFormValue",
      "leadingDelimiter": "{$",

        "key": "barcode01ScannedBarcode",
        "value": "$lang(failedScanBarcode)$"
      }
    }
  ]
}

The successActions of this sample barcode layer set the value of a textBox layer to the scanned barcode.
