Example

import 'package:mlkit_scanner/mlkit_scanner.dart';

...

return SizedBox(
  height: 200.0                                 // CameraPreview needs height constraints, if you use widget 
                                                // in Column use SizedBox or Container with height.
  child: BarcodeScanner(
    cropOverlay: ScannerCropOverlay             // you can use default ScannerOverlay, create custom, or do not 
                                                // use it at all

    onScannerInitialized: _onScannerInitialized // callback with BarcodeScannerController for control camera 
                                                // and detection when camera preview initialize.
    
    onCameraInitializeError: (error) {          // Handling error if camera can't initialize on device.
      // handleError.
    }
    onScan: (barcode) {                         // Calls on success barcode recognition
      // Do anything with the code.
    },
  ),
);

Future<void> _onScannerInitialized(BarcodeScannerController controller) async {
    await controller.startScan(100)             // Detection starts only after this call.
                                                // 100 - delay in milliseconds between detection for decreasing 
                                                // CPU consumption. Detection happens every 100 milliseconds 
                                                // skipping frames during delay. Use 0 to turn off delay.

    await controller.stopScan()                 // You can stop detection.

    await controller.setDelay(200)              // Or set delay while detection is going.

    await controller.toggleFlash()              // Toggle device flash. Can throw an Exception if device 
                                                // doesn't have flash.

    await controller.pauseCamera()              // Pause camera preview, detection also stops.

    await controller.resumeCamera()             // Resume camera preview, detection resumes too if 
                                                // controller.startScan calls before.
                                                
    await controller.setZoom(0.5)               // Set camera zoom. Values must be in range 0...1
