How to use barcode Scanner in web Application

I would like to use barcode scanner in my Laravel application. This is an online Point of Sale Application. I know that barcode scanner returns just a string and press Enter But

Answer 1

Yes, there are two ways:

The autofocus attribute

You can use the autofocus attribute, but this may not be supported by any browser.

Use Javascript

This is a fallback for the autofocus attribute.

window.onload = function() {
    var input = document.getElementById("barcodeInput").focus();
}

This will set the focus as soon as the page is loaded inside the input with the id barcodeInput.

If you are using JQuery you can do it this way:

$(document).ready(function() {
    $('#barcodeInput').focus();
});
