A barcode scanner component for React Native Android. For iOS you can use https://github.com/lwansbrough/react-native-camera. The library depends on https://github.com/dm77/barcodescanner and https://github.com/zxing/zxing.
React native 0.19 changed the ReactProps class which led to problems with updating native view properties (see facebook/react-native#5649). These errors are corrected in react-native-barcodescanner version 1.0.0. Use version 1.0.0 and larger for react native >=0.19 and for earlier react native versions use version 0.1.4.
