Native Desktop Barcode Reader

The sample demonstrates how to create a native desktop barcode reader based on Electron.

A basic Electron application needs just these files:

• index.htm - A web page to render.
• main.js - Starts the app and creates a browser window to render HTML.
• package.json - Points to the app's main file and lists its details and dependencies.

Getting Started

1. Rebuild dbr.node/dbr.so:

   # check electron version
   electron –v
   # rebuild the native node module
   node-gyp rebuild --target=0.36.7 --arch=x64 --dist-url=https://atom.io/download/atom-shell
   

2. Install dependencies:

   npm install
   

3. Start the application:

   npm start
