I would like to fork barcode-scanner plugin to do a custom camera overlay and use it in my app but I don't know how to do it properly.
Those are my steps...
1 - I downloaded the master branch of
https://github.com/phonegap/phonegap-plugin-barcodescanner
2 - I copied it ant pasted into plugins folder
3 - I added it to the project like this.
ionic Cordova plugin add 'plugins/custom-barcodescanner'
4 - I imported it into my app.module.ts
import { BarcodeScanner } from '../../plugins/custom-barcodescanner';
Result: Cannot find module.....custom-barcodescanner'
Thanks for any help.
you should add the plugin to a different folder than the project is in and then add it as a local plugin. this can be done like so:
ionic cordova plugin add /path/to/pluginfolder
another approach would be to fork the plugin on github and add your changes to your github fork. then add this repository as plugin:
ionic cordova plugin add https://github.com/path/to/your/fork
