MRZScanner Guide for Flutter

Installation guide

Please follow these simple steps to integrate our SDK into your project:

1. Adding our Flutter package

To add the mrzscanner_flutter package to your project, you have two options. You can either use the mrzscanner_flutter package from pub.dev or from a local path.

To use the package from pub.dev, add the package name and version to pubspec.yaml:

dependencies:
    flutter:
      sdk: flutter
   mrzscanner_flutter: <package version>

If you prefer to use a local package, download the package from https:/www.mrzscanner.com and set the package path in pubspec.yaml:

dependencies:
    flutter:
      sdk: flutter
   mrzscanner_flutter: <package version>
      path: <package local path>

2. Run flutter pub get command in terminal to install the specified dependencies in your project  

3. In your main.dart import the plugin:

import 'package:mrzscanner_flutter/mrzscanner_flutter.dart';

iOS

1. The MRZScanner plugin requires camera usage so you need to specify the camera usage description in iOS poject's Info.plist:

<key>NSCameraUsageDescription</key>
<string>Camera is required for MRZ scanning </string>
