Usage Example

Objective-C

config.dlParsingMode = AilaDLParsingModeOn;
config.scanCallback = ^(NSArray<AilaScanObject *> *results) {
    for (AilaScanObject *scan in results) {
        if ([scan isKindOfClass:[AilaDLScanObject class]]) {
            AilaDLScanObject *dlScan = (AilaDLScanObject *)scan;

            // Get parsed JSON data
            NSString *jsonData = dlScan.data;
            NSData *data = [jsonData dataUsingEncoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding];
            NSDictionary *parsed = [NSJSONSerialization JSONObjectWithData:data
                                                                  options:0
                                                                    error:nil];

            NSString *firstName = parsed[@"firstName"];
            NSString *lastName = parsed[@"lastName"];
            NSString *licenseNumber = parsed[@"licenseNumber"];
            NSString *expirationDate = parsed[@"expirationDate"];

            NSLog(@"Name: %@ %@", firstName, lastName);
            NSLog(@"License: %@, Expires: %@", licenseNumber, expirationDate);

            // Get raw PDF417 string
            NSString *rawDL = dlScan.rawData;
            NSLog(@"Raw Data: %@", rawDL);
        }
    }
};

Swift

config.dlParsingMode = .on
config.scanCallback = { results in
    for scan in results {
        if let dlScan = scan as? AilaDLScanObject {
            // Get parsed JSON data
            let jsonData = dlScan.data
            if let data = jsonData.data(using: .utf8),
               let parsed = try? JSONSerialization.jsonObject(with: data) as? [String: Any] {

                let firstName = parsed["firstName"] as? String
                let lastName = parsed["lastName"] as? String
                let licenseNumber = parsed["licenseNumber"] as? String
                let expirationDate = parsed["expirationDate"] as? String

                print("Name: \(firstName ?? "") \(lastName ?? "")")
                print("License: \(licenseNumber ?? ""), Expires: \(expirationDate ?? "")")
            }

            // Get raw PDF417 string
            let rawDL = dlScan.rawData
            print("Raw Data: \(rawDL)")
        }
    }
