How to use Adalo's QR code scanner component?

Step 1: Access Adalo's Component Marketplace

Alright, let's get started! First, head over to the Adalo editor and open up your project. On the left sidebar, you'll see a "Components" icon. Click on that to open up the component library. Now, look for the "Marketplace" option to check out all the extra components Adalo offers.

Step 2: Search for the QR Code Scanner

In the marketplace, there's a handy search bar. Type in "QR Code Scanner" and hit enter. When you find it, click on it to open its detail page. Then, just hit the "Add to My App" button to install it into your project. Easy peasy!

Step 3: Add the QR Code Scanner to Your Screen

Now that you've got the QR Code Scanner installed, go back to the Adalo editor. Navigate to the screen where you want to use the scanner. On the left sidebar, find the QR Code Scanner component and drag it onto your screen. Just drop it where you want it to be.

Step 4: Configure the QR Code Scanner

Click on the QR Code Scanner component you just placed on your screen. Over on the right sidebar, you'll see settings for it. Adjust the width, height, and positioning to fit your needs. Make sure the scanner area is big enough so users can scan QR codes without any hassle.

Step 5: Set Up Actions for Scanned Data

With the QR Code Scanner still selected, go to the "Actions" tab in the right sidebar. Here, you can define what happens when a QR code is successfully scanned. Maybe you want to link to another screen, update a database, or show a message based on the scanned data. It's up to you!

Step 6: Test the QR Code Scanner

Time to see if everything works! Use Adalo's preview feature to test the QR Code Scanner. Grab a physical or digital QR code and give it a scan. Make sure the scanner works correctly and that the actions you set up trigger as expected.

Step 7: Final Adjustments and Publish

After testing, you might need to make a few tweaks. Adjust the QR Code Scanner component and any other parts of your app as needed. Once you're happy with everything, go ahead and publish your app. Now your users can start scanning QR codes!

By following these steps, you'll have the QR Code Scanner component up and running smoothly in your Adalo app.
