@rishabh_2008 - the theme for the week is to design something for a collector, so it can be any sort of app for managing or curating a collection. You get to decide what components you want to use!

A barcode scanner probably isn’t much use if it’s for someone collecting cars or stamps (you can just use manual data entry I suppose?) but if you want to pull data in quickly for something like a book or record collection then the barcode scanner is a great way to do this so I’ve provided an example to show one way of getting started with it.

Hope that helps!

Wow - very excited to see that the sample app has been remixed over 100 times in the past 2 days - if anyone has any questions about using the open library API (or any other aspects of this challenge!) let us know here.

Awesome!


Good question - here are the docs in case anyone is looking for them.


The API I’ve linked to doesn’t require authentication, you just pass it the ISBN (barcode) from the book and it gives you back the details. Are you using a different API? Have you studied the Ex Libris sample app?

If you need help, search the forums first as well as the documentation. If you still can’t figure it out, create a new topic and provide details including screenshots or a link to your project. Explain what you’ve tried and what does/does not work.

On the scrScan screen of the Ex Libris project, you can see the url used for the API

I really wanted to work on this. I started out making a Magic The Gathering card collecting app but I’ve spent all my time this past week rebuilding my Find Your AQI (air quality) app since it wasn’t working. So I haven’t had much free time for WDC. Maybe soon!

@tatiang your UI is very cool !!
Could you please make a video of it works :relaxed:

Thank you but it’s really just a Data Viewer Grid that gets values from a Magic The Gathering API based on the search term entered into a Text Input component.

If you have a question about it, I can try to answer it.
