💻 Enterprise Features & Code Examples

1. Image Compression (ImageCompressor)

import 'package:scannerpro/scannerpro.dart';

// Compress raw image bytes with preset
final result = ImageCompressor.compressWithPreset(
  imageBytes,
  CompressionPreset.high, // 85% quality factor
);

print(result.summary); 
// "Compressed 1.2 MB → 340 KB (71.7% reduction, quality: 85%)"

// Batch compression
final compressedList = ImageCompressor.batchCompress(
  [bytes1, bytes2, bytes3],
  quality: 0.70,
);

2. Encrypted Scan Storage (EncryptedStorage)

import 'package:scannerpro/scannerpro.dart';

// Encrypt scan result with password and 24-hour TTL
final encryptedData = EncryptedStorage.encrypt(
  scanResult,
  password: 'user_secure_password_123',
  ttl: const Duration(hours: 24),
);

// Decrypt scan result back
final decryptedResult = EncryptedStorage.decrypt(
  encryptedData,
  password: 'user_secure_password_123',
);

print('Decrypted payload: ${decryptedResult?.rawValue}');

3. Cloud Sync Helpers (CloudSyncHelper)

import 'package:scannerpro/scannerpro.dart';

// Create HTTP sync adapter
final adapter = HttpCloudSyncAdapter(
  baseUrl: 'https://api.yourcompany.com/v1/scans',
);

// Initialize offline-first sync helper
final syncHelper = CloudSyncHelper(adapter: adapter, maxRetries: 3);

// Listen to live sync progress events
syncHelper.syncEvents.listen((event) {
  print('Sync ${event.id}: ${event.status.name}');
});

// Enqueue and process
syncHelper.enqueue(scanResult);
final syncedCount = await syncHelper.processQueue();

4. Scan Quality Analyzer (ScanQualityAnalyzer)

import 'package:scannerpro/scannerpro.dart';

final report = ScanQualityAnalyzer.analyze(
  imageBytes,
  width: 640,
  height: 480,
);

print('Quality Grade: ${report.grade.letterGrade}'); // "A", "B", "C", "D", "F"
print('Blur Severity: ${report.blur.severity.name}'); // "sharp", "mild", "moderate", "heavy"
print('Torch Recommended: ${report.torchRecommended}');

for (final rec in report.recommendations) {
  print(' - $rec');
}

5. Multi-Scan Sessions (MultiScanSession)

import 'package:scannerpro/scannerpro.dart';

// Create and start session
final session = MultiScanSession(
  name: 'Warehouse Receiving #1042',
  enableDuplicateFilter: true,
  maxItems: 100,
);
session.start();

// Add scans to session
session.addResult(scanResult1);
session.addResult(scanResult2);

// Session stats & export
final stats = session.getStats();
print('Valid items: ${stats.validScans}, Duplicates filtered: ${stats.duplicatesFiltered}');

final pdfBytes = session.exportToPdf(title: 'Receiving Audit Report');

Update your pubspec.yaml:

dependencies:
  scannerpro: ^2.4.0

2. New ScanModes Available

You can now use ScanMode.idCard and ScanMode.licensePlate:

controller.setMode(ScanMode.licensePlate);

3. Static Facade APIs

Access version string and new static helpers via ScannerPro:

print(ScannerPro.version); // "2.4.0"
final report = ScannerPro.analyzeQuality(imageBytes);
final compressed = ScannerPro.compressImage(imageBytes);

❓ Troubleshooting

Issue	Cause	Solution
Camera black screen on Android	Missing camera permission in AndroidManifest.xml	Ensure <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.CAMERA" /> is declared.
ML Kit model download fail	Device offline on first launch	Add meta-data com.google.mlkit.vision.DEPENDENCIES to AndroidManifest.xml or ensure initial connectivity.
Slow scan FPS on low-end devices	High resolution preset or un-throttled frames	Use options.enableAdaptiveFps = true and options.frameThrottleMs = 50.
PDF export text not selectable	isSearchablePdf set to false	Set isSearchablePdf: true in PdfExportUtil.exportResultsToPdf().
