 # QR Code Handling Rule
 ## Architecture Overview
 The QR code scanning functionality follows a platform-agnostic design using a factory pattern that provides different implementations for web and mobile platforms.
 ### Core Components
 1. **Factory Pattern**
 - `QRScannerFactory` - Creates appropriate scanner instance based on platform
 - Common interface `QRScannerService` implemented by all scanners
 - Platform detection via Capacitor and build flags
 2. **Platform-Specific Implementations**
 - `CapacitorQRScanner` - Native mobile implementation using MLKit
 - `WebInlineQRScanner` - Web browser implementation using MediaDevices API
 - `QRScannerDialog.vue` - Shared UI component
 ## Mobile Implementation (Capacitor)
 ### Technology Stack
 - Uses `@capacitor-mlkit/barcode-scanning` plugin
 - Configured in `capacitor.config.ts`
 - Native camera access through platform APIs
 ### Key Features
 - Direct camera access via native APIs
 - Optimized for mobile performance
 - Supports both iOS and Android
 - Real-time QR code detection
 - Back camera preferred for scanning
 ### Configuration
 ```typescript
 MLKitBarcodeScanner: {
  formats: ['QR_CODE'],
  detectorSize: 1.0,
  lensFacing: 'back',
  googleBarcodeScannerModuleInstallState: true
 }
 ```
 ### Permissions Handling
 1. Check permissions via `BarcodeScanner.checkPermissions()`
 2. Request permissions if needed
 3. Handle permission states (granted/denied)
 4. Graceful fallbacks for permission issues
 ## Web Implementation
 ### Technology Stack
 - Uses browser's MediaDevices API
 - Vue.js components for UI
 - EventEmitter for stream management
 ### Key Features
 - Browser-based camera access
 - Inline camera preview
 - Responsive design
 - Cross-browser compatibility
 - Progressive enhancement
 ### Permissions Handling
 1. Uses browser's permission API
 2. MediaDevices API for camera access
 3. Handles secure context requirements
 4. Provides user feedback for permission states
 ## Shared Features
 ### Error Handling
 1. Permission denied scenarios
 2. Device compatibility checks
 3. Camera access failures
 4. QR code validation
 5. Network connectivity issues
 ### User Experience
 1. Clear feedback during scanning
 2. Loading states
 3. Error messages
 4. Success confirmations
 5. Camera preview
 ### Security
 1. HTTPS requirement for web
 2. Permission validation
 3. Data validation
 4. Safe error handling
 ## Usage Guidelines
 ### Platform Detection
 ```typescript
 const isNative = QRScannerFactory.isNativePlatform();
 if (isNative) {
  // Use native scanner
 } else {
  // Use web scanner
 }
 ```
 ### Implementation Example
 ```typescript
 const scanner = QRScannerFactory.getInstance();
 await scanner.checkPermissions();
 await scanner.startScan();
 scanner.addListener({
  onScan: (result) => {
    // Handle scan result
  },
  onError: (error) => {
    // Handle error
  }
 });
 ```
 ### Best Practices
 1. Always check permissions before starting scan
 2. Clean up resources after scanning
 3. Handle all error cases
 4. Provide clear user feedback
 5. Test on multiple devices/browsers
 ## Platform-Specific Notes
 ### Mobile (Capacitor)
 1. Use native camera API when available
 2. Handle device rotation
 3. Support both front/back cameras
 4. Manage system permissions properly
 5. Handle app lifecycle events
 ### Web
 1. Check browser compatibility
 2. Handle secure context requirement
 3. Manage memory usage
 4. Clean up MediaStream
 5. Handle tab visibility changes
 ## Testing Requirements
 1. Test on multiple devices
 2. Verify permission flows
 3. Check error handling
 4. Validate cleanup
 5. Verify cross-platform behavior
 ## Service Interface
 ```typescript
 interface QRScannerService {
  checkPermissions(): Promise<boolean>;
  requestPermissions(): Promise<boolean>;
  isSupported(): Promise<boolean>;
  startScan(options?: QRScannerOptions): Promise<void>;
  stopScan(): Promise<void>;
  addListener(listener: ScanListener): void;
  onStream(callback: (stream: MediaStream | null) => void): void;
  cleanup(): Promise<void>;
 }
 interface ScanListener {
  onScan: (result: string) => void;
  onError?: (error: Error) => void;
 }
 interface QRScannerOptions {
  camera?: "front" | "back";
  showPreview?: boolean;
  playSound?: boolean;
 }

    const scanner = QRScannerFactory.getInstance();
    try {
      // Check and request permissions
      if (!(await scanner.checkPermissions())) {
        const granted = await scanner.requestPermissions();
        if (!granted) {
          throw new Error('Camera permission denied');
        }
      }
      // Add scan listener
      scanner.addListener({
        onScan: (result) => {
          console.log('QR Code scanned:', result);
        },
        onError: (error) => {

      }
    },
    define: {
      __USE_QR_READER__: JSON.stringify(!isCapacitor),
      __IS_MOBILE__: JSON.stringify(isCapacitor),
    },
    optimizeDeps: {
      include: [
        '@capacitor-mlkit/barcode-scanning',
        'vue-qrcode-reader'
      ]
    },
    resolve: {
      alias: {
        '@capacitor/app': path.resolve(__dirname, 'node_modules/@capacitor/app')
      }
    }
  });
 }
 ```
 ### Web-Specific Configuration
 ```typescript
 // vite.config.web.mts
 import { defineConfig, mergeConfig } from "vite";
 import { createBuildConfig } from "./vite.config.common.mts";
 export default defineConfig(async () => {
  const baseConfig = await createBuildConfig('web');
  return mergeConfig(baseConfig, {
    define: {
      __USE_QR_READER__: true,
      __IS_MOBILE__: false,
    }
  });
 });
 ```
 ### Capacitor-Specific Configuration
 ```typescript
 // vite.config.capacitor.mts
 import { defineConfig, mergeConfig } from "vite";
 import { createBuildConfig } from "./vite.config.common.mts";
 export default defineConfig(async () => {
  const baseConfig = await createBuildConfig('capacitor');
  return mergeConfig(baseConfig, {
    define: {
      __USE_QR_READER__: false,
      __IS_MOBILE__: true,
    },
    build: {
      rollupOptions: {
        external: ['vue-qrcode-reader'], // Exclude web QR reader from mobile builds
        output: {
          entryFileNames: '[name]-mobile.js',
          chunkFileNames: '[name]-mobile.js',
          assetFileNames: '[name]-mobile.[ext]'
        }
      }
    }
  });
 });
 ```
 ### Build Scripts
 Add these scripts to your `package.json`:
 ```json
 {
  "scripts": {
    "build:web": "vite build --config vite.config.web.mts",
    "build:capacitor": "vite build --config vite.config.capacitor.mts",
    "build:all": "npm run build:web && npm run build:capacitor"
  }
 }
 ```
 ### Environment Variables
 Create a `.env` file:
 ```bash
 # QR Scanner Configuration
 VITE_QR_SCANNER_ENABLED=true
 VITE_DEFAULT_CAMERA=back
 ```
 ### Build Process
 1. **Web Build**
 ```bash
 npm run build:web
 ```

 - Exclude vue-qrcode-reader
 - Set __USE_QR_READER__ to false
 - Set __IS_MOBILE__ to true
 - Build for mobile platforms
 3. **Build Both**
 ```bash
 npm run build:all
 ```
 ### Important Notes
 1. **Dependencies**
 - Ensure all QR-related dependencies are properly listed in package.json
 - Use exact versions to avoid compatibility issues
 - Consider using peer dependencies for shared libraries
 2. **Bundle Size**
 - Web build includes vue-qrcode-reader (~100KB)
 - Mobile build includes @capacitor-mlkit/barcode-scanning (~50KB)
 - Consider using dynamic imports for lazy loading
 3. **Platform Detection**
 - Build flags determine which implementation to use
 - Runtime checks provide fallback options
 - Environment variables can override defaults
 4. **Performance**
 - Mobile builds optimize for native performance
 - Web builds include necessary polyfills
 - Chunk splitting improves load times
 5. **Debugging**
 - Source maps are enabled for development
