pnpm VS quagga2

Pnpm for install Javascript/Typescript packages, like LangChain.js

Node.js manages dependencies using package managers like npm (Node Package Manager), yarn, and pnpm. npm comes pre-installed with Node.js and allows you to install and uninstall Node.js packages. It uses a package.json file to keep track of which packages your project depends on. Yarn and Pnpm are alternative package managers that aim to improve on npm in various ways, such as improved performance and better lock file format.

Use pnpm - This is just one recommendation, but it's too big of a topic to discuss here.

In this blog post, I explain how to use pnpm in GitLab CI and how to authenticate with a private GitLab package registry.

A package manager such as npm, Yarn, or pnpm. A package manager is a tool that helps you manage the dependencies of your project. You can use any of these package managers to install Jest and other packages.

Installation: Install Redux and React-Redux using npm or yarn.(you can try pnpm too!)

I also recommend using pnpm as a package manager, it's faster and more efficient than npm or yarn with great capabilities concerning monorepo setup. On recent nodejs versions (v16.13+), you can install it easily with:

The next level up from that would be to hook up the business-specific frontend to a barcode scanner and at that point not only could both clients & business know what items are available, but also their current stock & availability.

I used the zebra crossing app ("barcode scanner") in mass scan mode to scan all my books. The app keeps a history of scanned items and you can export it as CSV. This of course is not very "nice" but a very fast way to scan all your books. There is also some JS implementation for isbn scanning which works ok. It is used by bookwyrm which is open-source (but not free software).

Honorable mention to quagga. No longer actively maintained, but there is an active fork quagga2.

The component used for the camera barcode scanner is quagga2, feel free to improve it or even replace it with another one and provide a pull request if that maybe works better. Also already partly tracked in #737.

The camera barcode scanner component used is quagga2. Scanning highly depends on lighting, the angle and so on and is IMHO generally slow and error prone. I would only use a laser scanner which is 1000 % faster and works under any lighting condition. On my phone I personally simply use the dropdown / search way, since still faster than a single camera barcode scan...

The component used is Quagga2 and there are also some options in data/config.php to tweak it.
