Usage Example

Objective-C

config.scanCallback = ^(NSArray<AilaScanObject *> *results) {
    for (AilaScanObject *scan in results) {
        // Get type enum
        AilaCodeType type = scan.type;

        // Get human-readable type
        NSString *typeStr = [scan typeDescription];

        // Get barcode data
        NSString *data = scan.data;

        NSLog(@"Scanned %@ barcode: %@", typeStr, data);

        // Check for specific type
        if (type == AilaCodeTypeQR) {
            NSLog(@"This is a QR code");
        }
    }
};

Swift

config.scanCallback = { results in
    for scan in results {
        // Get type enum
        let type = scan.type

        // Get human-readable type
        let typeStr = scan.typeDescription()

        // Get barcode data
        let data = scan.data

        print("Scanned \(typeStr) barcode: \(data)")

        // Check for specific type
        if type == .QR {
            print("This is a QR code")
        }
    }
}
