## API
- `initLicense(license: string): void`
- `createInstance(): BarcodeReader`
- `getVersion(): string`

**Asynchronous Methods**
- `decodeFileAsync(filePath: string, format: formats, callback?: (err: Error | null, result?: BarcodeResult[]) => void, template?: string): void`
- `decodeFileAsync(filePath: string, format: formats, template?: string): Promise<BarcodeResult[]>`
- `decodeFileStreamAsync(stream: any, length: number, format: formats, callback?: (err: Error | null, result?: BarcodeResult[]) => void, template?: string): void`
- `decodeFileStreamAsync(stream: any, length: number, format: formats, template?: string): Promise<BarcodeResult[]>`
- `decodeBase64Async(base64String: string, format: formats, callback: (err: Error | null, result?: BarcodeResult[]) => void, template?: string): void`
- `decodeBase64Async(base64String: string, format: formats, template?: string): Promise<BarcodeResult[]>`
- `decodeYUYVAsync(data: any, width: number, height: number, format: formats, callback?: (err: Error | null, result?: BarcodeResult[]) => void, template?: string): void`
- `decodeYUYVAsync(data: any, width: number, height: number, format: formats, template?: string): Promise<BarcodeResult[]>`
- `decodeBufferAsync(buffer: any, width: number, height: number, stride: number, format: formats, callback?: (err: Error | null, result?: BarcodeResult[]) => void, template?: string): void`
- `decodeBufferAsync(buffer: any, width: number, height: number, stride: number, format: formats, template?: string): Promise<BarcodeResult[]>`

## Quick Usage
Replace `LICENSE-KEY` with your own license key.

```js
const dbr = require('barcode4nodejs');
dbr.initLicense("LICENSE-KEY")
dbr.decodeFileAsync("YOUR IMAGE FILE", dbr.formats.ALL, function(err, msg){
  console.log(msg);
  for (index in msg) {
    result = msg[index];
    console.log('Format: ' + result['format']);
    console.log('Value : ' + result['value']);
    console.log('x1: ' + result['x1']);
    console.log('y1 : ' + result['y1']);
    console.log('x2: ' + result['x2']);
    console.log('y2 : ' + result['y2']);
    console.log('x3: ' + result['x3']);
    console.log('y3: ' + result['y3']);
    console.log('x4: ' + result['x4']);
    console.log('y4: ' + result['y4']);
    console.log('page: ' + result['page']);
    console.log('decoding time: ' + result['time']);
  }
}, "");

// Or
(async function () {
  try {
    var result = await dbr.decodeFileAsync("YOUR IMAGE FILE", dbr.formats.ALL, "");
    console.log(result);
  } catch (error) {
    console.log(error);
  }
})();
```

## How to Customize and Build the Module

1. Get the source code:

```
    git clone https://github.com/yushulx/nodejs-barcode.git
    ```

2. Download Dynamsoft C++ Barcode SDK. Copy header files to `src` folder and copy platform-specific shared libraries to `platforms` folder.
3. Edit `src/dbr.cc` and `index.js`.
4. Build the Node.js extension:

```bash
    node-gyp configure
    node-gyp build

# For macOS
    install_name_tool -change @rpath/libDynamsoftCore.dylib @loader_path/libDynamsoftCore.dylib build/Release/dbr.node
    install_name_tool -change @rpath/libDynamsoftLicense.dylib @loader_path/libDynamsoftLicense.dylib build/Release/dbr.node
    install_name_tool -change @rpath/libDynamsoftCaptureVisionRouter.dylib @loader_path/libDynamsoftCaptureVisionRouter.dylib build/Release/dbr.node
    install_name_tool -change @rpath/libDynamsoftUtility.dylib @loader_path/libDynamsoftUtility.dylib build/Release/dbr.node
    install_name_tool -change @rpath/libDynamsoftImageProcessing.dylib @loader_path/libDynamsoftImageProcessing.dylib build/Release/libDynamsoftUtility.dylib
    ```

**For Visual Studio 2019 Community**

```
    node-gyp configure --msbuild_path="C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2019\Community\MSBuild\Current\Bin\MSBuild.exe" --msvs_version=2017
    node-gyp build
    ```
