barcode-scanner

Scan 1D barcodes using a hand scanner for Rust.

The barcode-scanner crate provides a Linux interface to barcode USB hand scanners. It works with the Device struct from the evdev crate.

Currently supported features:

• One BarcodeScanner struct for all USB hand scanners that operate as a keyboard.
• Prevent other clients from receiving events from the selected device by grabbing it.
• Read 1D barcode consisting of numbers and letters.
• Omit special characters in a barcode.

Example

This example grabs a hand scanner and prints a barcode that is read.

	use barcode_scanner::BarcodeScanner;

	let scanner = BarcodeScanner::new("usb-0000:00:14.0-3/input0")?;
	loop {
    	let barcode = scanner.read()?;
    	println!("{}", barcode);
	}
