I am looking for a way to scan a barcode and return a response based on whether it received a barcode or not. The only results I can find point to the Intel XDK. I can’t use this for this particular project, so what can I do without it? How to scan barcode with HTML5 / JavaScript?
Here is a link I found initially that looks as if it could do the job if I could use the Intel XDK. Let me know what I can add to this question, to be more clear, I just need to point in the right direction, because I do not know where to start or how to actually scan, as soon as I turned to the camera. Here is the code that I use to access and display the device’s camera:

}

alert("I don't understand. Why did you not allow it?");
