[Spike] Find beer with barcode

[deletidev]

You can use a library such as react-barcode-reader or react-qr-barcode-scanner. These libraries provide a simple way to integrate barcode scanning functionality into your application.

Here is a step-by-step guide to implement this functionality using react-qr-barcode-scanner:

1. Install the Library

2. Create the Scanner Component:
   Create a component called BarcodeScanner.tsx that will use the library to scan the barcode:

import React from 'react';
import { BarcodeScannerComponent } from 'react-qr-barcode-scanner';

export const BarcodeScanner: React.FC = () => {
    const [data, setData] = React.useState<string | null>(null);

    return (
        <div>
            <h1>Scan the Beer Barcode</h1>
            <BarcodeScannerComponent
                width={500}
                height={500}
                onUpdate={(err, result) => {
                    if (result) setData(result.getText());
                    else setData(null);
                }}
            />
            <p>{data ? `Scanned code: ${data}` : 'No code detected'}</p>
        </div>
    );
};

4. Use the Component in Your Application:
   Import and use the BarcodeScanner component in your main application or on the page where you want the scanning functionality.

5. Additional Configuration
   Make sure your application has the necessary permissions to access the device's camera. This is usually handled automatically by the browser, but it can be helpful to remind users to grant permissions.
   If you need more control over scanning or want to handle different types of barcodes, you can explore more options and configurations in the react-qr-barcode-scanner documentation.

6. Websites to find barcodes for different beer brands: Barcode Lookup Services, International Barcodes Database, Simply Barcodes.
