Hey Himanshu,

There is a very good blog written on this by Jitendra. You can refer that to get an idea about barcode scanner using JS :

Hello, 

Jitendra's post only works with a saved image as input, right? Is there a way to scan the barcode from a live camera and feed that input to SF1 so SF1 can query SFDC to retrieve additional attributes (tied to that barcode record)?

I tried implementing a browser based scanning solution. But performance suffers.

Ended up using "Barcode to Cloud" app to scan and send barcode data to Salesforce.

"Barcode to Cloud (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.albertdev.barcodetocloud)" app allows to scan and send data to Salesforce and execute configurable actions in Salesforce - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.albertdev.barcodetocloud

Hi, you can look for the below reference for barcode scanning natively using LWC.
