As released in Winter’21, Barcode API allows barcode scanning on mobile devices natively using LWC. A Lightning web component uses a mobile device’s camera and mobile OS platform features to scan a barcode, and after the scanning is complete, data from the device is returned to the LWC that invoked it.

In this tutorial today, we will share the step-by-step guide for you to create a Barcode Scanner LWC using the Barcode API.
