The project currently uses outdated build tools (Gulp 4.0, Rollup 1.9) and has several areas where modern web development practices and APIs can be adopted. This report addresses: + +1. **Build Infrastructure Modernization** - Migrating from Gulp to modern build tools +2. **Project Structure Improvements** - Reorganizing code for better maintainability +3. **Modern Web API Adoption** - Leveraging current browser capabilities + +--- + +## 1. Build Infrastructure Modernization + +### Current State Analysis + +**Current Build Setup:** +- **Gulp 4.0** as task runner (2018 era) +- **Rollup 1.9** for module bundling (outdated, current is 4.x) +- **Babel 7.4** for transpilation +- **Multiple Gulp plugins** for CSS, HTML, and image optimization +- **Complex multi-step build process** (see `gulpfile.babel.js`) + +**Key Issues:** +- Gulp adds unnecessary complexity for simple build tasks +- Multiple transformation steps (Rollup โ†’ Babel โ†’ Terser) +- Slow build times due to sequential processing +- Need for `@babel/register` to run gulpfile +- Outdated dependencies with security vulnerabilities + +### Recommended Modern Build Tools + +#### Option 1: Vite (โ˜… Recommended) + +**Why Vite:** +- Lightning-fast dev server with HMR (Hot Module Replacement) +- Native ES modules in development (no bundling needed) +- Optimized production builds using Rollup 4.x under the hood +- Built-in support for service workers +- Minimal configuration required +- Excellent for PWAs + +**Migration Approach:** +```javascript +// vite.config.js +import { defineConfig } from 'vite'; +import { VitePWA } from 'vite-plugin-pwa'; + +export default defineConfig({ + root: 'app', + build: { + outDir: '../dist', + emptyOutDir: true, + rollupOptions: { + input: { + main: 'app/index.html', + worker: 'app/scripts/qrworker.js' + }, + output: { + entryFileNames: 'scripts/[name].js', + chunkFileNames: 'scripts/[name].js', + assetFileNames: '[ext]/[name].[ext]' + } + } + }, + plugins: [ + VitePWA({ + strategies: 'injectManifest', + srcDir: 'app', + filename: 'sw.js', + manifest: { + /* your manifest.json content */ + } + }) + ], + worker: { + format: 'es' + } +}); +``` + +**Benefits:** +- โšก Instant dev server startup +- ๐Ÿ”ฅ Sub-100ms HMR +- ๐Ÿ“ฆ Optimized production builds +- ๐Ÿ› ๏ธ No need for Babel in modern browsers +- ๐Ÿ”Œ Rich plugin ecosystem + +**Migration Effort:** Medium (1-2 days) + +#### Option 2: esbuild (For Maximum Speed) + +**Why esbuild:** +- 10-100x faster than traditional bundlers +- Written in Go (compiled native performance) +- Built-in minification and tree-shaking +- Simple configuration + +**Configuration Example:** +```javascript +// build.js +import * as esbuild from 'esbuild'; + +await esbuild.build({ + entryPoints: ['app/scripts/main.mjs'], + bundle: true, + minify: true, + sourcemap: true, + target: ['chrome90', 'firefox88', 'safari14'], + outfile: 'dist/scripts/main.js', +}); +``` + +**Limitations:** +- Less mature plugin ecosystem than Vite +- No dev server (need separate tool like `serve`) +- Service worker handling requires additional setup + +**Migration Effort:** Low (1 day) + +#### Option 3: Parcel 2 (Zero Config) + +**Why Parcel:** +- True zero-config setup +- Automatic asset optimization +- Built-in dev server with HMR +- Good PWA support + +**Benefits:** +- Simplest migration path +- No configuration file needed +- Handles all asset types automatically + +**Limitations:** +- Less control over build process +- Can be slower than Vite/esbuild +- Less ecosystem support than Vite + +**Migration Effort:** Low (1 day) + +### Recommended Migration Path + +**Phase 1: Setup Vite** (Day 1) +1. Install Vite and vite-plugin-pwa +2. Create basic `vite.config.js` +3. Move `app/index.html` configuration +4. Test dev server + +**Phase 2: Configure Workers** (Day 2) +1. Configure Web Worker bundling +2. Set up service worker with vite-plugin-pwa +3. Test worker functionality + +**Phase 3: Production Build** (Day 3) +1. Configure production optimizations +2.

Modern Web API Adoption + +### Camera API Modernization + +#### Current Implementation Issues + +**In `main.mjs` (CameraSource class):** +```javascript +var useMediaDevices = ('mediaDevices' in navigator + && 'enumerateDevices' in navigator.mediaDevices + && 'getUserMedia' in navigator.mediaDevices); +var gUM = (navigator.getUserMedia || + navigator.webkitGetUserMedia || + navigator.mozGetUserMedia || + navigator.msGetUserMedia || null); +``` + +**Problems:** +- Still checking for prefixed APIs (webkit, moz, ms) - unnecessary in 2026 +- Uses `MediaStreamTrack.getSources()` - deprecated since 2016 +- Doesn't leverage modern constraints API features +- No use of ideal/exact constraint syntax + +#### Recommended Modern Approach + +**1. getUserMedia with Modern Constraints:** + +```javascript +// utils/camera-api.js +export class ModernCameraAPI { + static async getCameras() { + try { + const devices = await navigator.mediaDevices.enumerateDevices(); + return devices.filter(device => device.kind === 'videoinput'); + } catch (error) { + console.error('Failed to enumerate devices:', error); + return []; + } + } + + static async requestCamera(deviceId = null, facingMode = 'environment') { + const constraints = { + video: { + facingMode: deviceId ? undefined : { ideal: facingMode }, + deviceId: deviceId ? { exact: deviceId } : undefined, + width: { ideal: 1920 }, + height: { ideal: 1080 }, + aspectRatio: { ideal: 1 } // Square for QR codes + }, + audio: false + }; + + try { + const stream = await navigator.mediaDevices.getUserMedia(constraints); + return stream; + } catch (error) { + console.error('Camera access denied:', error); + throw error; + } + } + + static async getDefaultCamera() { + const cameras = await this.getCameras(); + + // Prefer rear/environment facing camera for QR scanning + const rearCamera = cameras.find(camera => + camera.label.toLowerCase().includes('back') || + camera.label.toLowerCase().includes('rear') || + camera.label.toLowerCase().includes('environment') + ); + + return rearCamera || cameras[0]; + } +} +``` + +**2. Media Stream Constraints API:** + +```javascript +// Better control over camera settings +const track = stream.getVideoTracks()[0]; +const capabilities = track.getCapabilities(); + +// If camera supports focus mode, set it to continuous +if (capabilities.focusMode && capabilities.focusMode.includes('continuous')) { + await track.applyConstraints({ + advanced: [{ focusMode: 'continuous' }] + }); +} + +// If camera supports torch/flash (for low light QR scanning) +if (capabilities.torch) { + await track.applyConstraints({ + advanced: [{ torch: true }] + }); +} +``` + +**3. Handle Camera Switching:** + +```javascript +export class CameraController { + constructor() { + this.currentStream = null; + this.cameras = []; + } + + async initialize() { + this.cameras = await ModernCameraAPI.getCameras(); + await this.switchCamera(0); + } + + async switchCamera(index) { + // Stop current stream + if (this.currentStream) { + this.currentStream.getTracks().forEach(track => track.stop()); + } + + // Get new stream + const camera = this.cameras[index]; + this.currentStream = await ModernCameraAPI.requestCamera(camera.deviceId); + + return this.currentStream; + } + + async toggleTorch(enabled) { + const track = this.currentStream?.getVideoTracks()[0]; + if (track) { + const capabilities = track.getCapabilities(); + if (capabilities.torch) { + await track.applyConstraints({ + advanced: [{ torch: enabled }] + }); + return true; + } + } + return false; + } +} +``` + +### Other Modern Web APIs to Adopt + +#### 1. Screen Wake Lock API + +**Purpose:** Keep screen on while scanning QR codes + +```javascript +// utils/wake-lock.js +export class WakeLockManager { + constructor() { + this.wakeLock = null; + } + + async request() { + if ('wakeLock' in navigator) { + try { + this.wakeLock = await navigator.wakeLock.request('screen'); + console.log('Wake lock active'); + + // Re-request on visibility change + document.addEventListener('visibilitychange', async () => { + if (this.wakeLock !== null && document.visibilityState === 'visible') { + this.wakeLock = await navigator.wakeLock.request('screen'); + } + }); + } catch (err) { + console.error('Wake lock failed:', err); + } + } + } + + release() { + if (this.wakeLock !== null) { + this.wakeLock.release(); + this.wakeLock = null; + } + } +} +``` + +**Usage in QR Scanner:** +```javascript +const wakeLock = new WakeLockManager(); +await wakeLock.request(); // When camera starts +wakeLock.release(); // When camera stops +``` + +#### 2. Web Share API (Already Partial) + +**Current:** Basic share implementation exists +**Enhancement:** Add share with files (share screenshots of QR codes) + +```javascript +// components/share-controller.js +export class ShareController { + static async shareUrl(url) { + if (navigator.share) { + try { + await navigator.share({ + title: 'QR Code', + text: `Scanned QR Code: ${url}`, + url: url + }); + return true; + } catch (err) { + if (err.name !== 'AbortError') { + console.error('Share failed:', err); + } + return false; + } + } + return false; + } + + static async shareImage(canvas, url) { + if (navigator.share && navigator.canShare) { + try { + // Convert canvas to blob + const blob = await new Promise(resolve => + canvas.toBlob(resolve, 'image/png') + ); + + const file = new File([blob], 'qr-code.png', { type: 'image/png' }); + + if (navigator.canShare({ files: [file] })) { + await navigator.share({ + files: [file], + title: 'QR Code', + text: url + }); + return true; + } + } catch (err) { + console.error('Share image failed:', err); + } + } + return false; + } +} +``` + +#### 3. Async Clipboard API (Already Partial) + +**Current:** Basic clipboard.writeText() +**Enhancement:** Better error handling and feedback + +```javascript +// utils/clipboard.js +export class ClipboardManager { + static async write(text) { + if (navigator.clipboard && navigator.clipboard.writeText) { + try { + await navigator.clipboard.writeText(text); + return true; + } catch (err) { + console.error('Clipboard write failed:', err); + return this.fallbackCopy(text); + } + } + return this.fallbackCopy(text); + } + + static fallbackCopy(text) { + // Fallback for older browsers + const textarea = document.createElement('textarea'); + textarea.value = text; + textarea.style.position = 'fixed'; + textarea.style.opacity = '0'; + document.body.appendChild(textarea); + textarea.select(); + + try { + const successful = document.execCommand('copy'); + document.body.removeChild(textarea); + return successful; + } catch (err) { + document.body.removeChild(textarea); + return false; + } + } +} +``` + +#### 4. Barcode Detection API (Already Implemented!) + +**Current State:** Your code already has this! In `qrworker.js`: +```javascript +if ('BarcodeDetector' in self && 'getSupportedFormats' in BarcodeDetector) { + const formats = await BarcodeDetector.getSupportedFormats(); + if (formats.find(format => format === 'qr_code')) { + return nativeDetector(new BarcodeDetector({formats: ['qr_code']})); + } +} +``` + +**Recommendation:** This is already well-implemented! Just document it better. + +**Browser Support:** +- โœ… Chrome/Edge 83+ +- โœ… Samsung Internet +- โŒ Firefox (use polyfill) +- โŒ Safari (use polyfill) + +#### 5. View Transitions API (Optional Enhancement) + +**Purpose:** Smooth transitions between scanning and result views + +```javascript +// utils/transitions.js +export function smoothTransition(updateCallback) { + if (document.startViewTransition) { + document.startViewTransition(updateCallback); + } else { + updateCallback(); + } +} +``` + +**Usage:** +```javascript +// When showing QR code dialog +smoothTransition(() => { + qrcodeDialog.show(url); +}); +``` + +#### 6. File System Access API (Future Enhancement) + +**Purpose:** Save scanned QR code history to local files + +```javascript +// utils/file-system.js +export class QRHistoryManager { + static async saveHistory(qrCodes) { + if ('showSaveFilePicker' in window) { + try { + const handle = await window.showSaveFilePicker({ + suggestedName: 'qr-history.json', + types: [{ + description: 'JSON Files', + accept: { 'application/json': ['.json'] } + }] + }); + + const writable = await handle.createWritable(); + await writable.write(JSON.stringify(qrCodes, null, 2)); + await writable.close(); + + return true; + } catch (err) { + console.error('Save failed:', err); + return false; + } + } + return false; + } +} +``` + +#### 7. Permissions API + +**Purpose:** Better UX by checking permissions before requesting + +```javascript +// utils/permissions.js +export class PermissionsManager { + static async checkCameraPermission() { + if ('permissions' in navigator) { + try { + const result = await navigator.permissions.query({ name: 'camera' }); + return result.state; // 'granted', 'denied', or 'prompt' + } catch (err) { + // Some browsers don't support camera permission query + return 'prompt'; + } + } + return 'prompt'; + } + + static async requestCameraWithPermissionCheck() { + const permission = await this.checkCameraPermission(); + + if (permission === 'denied') { + throw new Error('Camera permission denied. Please enable in settings.'); + } + + // Request camera access + return await navigator.mediaDevices.getUserMedia({ video: true }); + } +} +``` + +#### 8. Compression Streams API (For Service Worker) + +**Purpose:** Efficient caching with compression + +```javascript +// sw/cache-utils.js +async function cacheWithCompression(request, response) { + if ('CompressionStream' in self) { + const compressionStream = new CompressionStream('gzip'); + const compressedStream = response.body.pipeThrough(compressionStream); + + const compressedResponse = new Response(compressedStream, { + headers: { + ...response.headers, + 'Content-Encoding': 'gzip' + } + }); + + return compressedResponse; + } + return response; +} +``` + +### Removing Deprecated APIs + +**Remove these checks (no longer needed in 2026):** + +```javascript +// โŒ Remove webkit/moz prefixes +navigator.webkitGetUserMedia +navigator.mozGetUserMedia +navigator.msGetUserMedia + +// โŒ Remove deprecated MediaStreamTrack.getSources +MediaStreamTrack.getSources() + +// โŒ Remove old constraint syntax +video: { optional: [{ sourceId: id }] } +``` + +**Replace with:** + +```javascript +// โœ… Modern standard APIs only +navigator.mediaDevices.getUserMedia() +navigator.mediaDevices.enumerateDevices() + +// โœ… Modern constraint syntax +video: { deviceId: { exact: deviceId } } +``` + +### Progressive Enhancement Strategy + +Always provide fallbacks for modern APIs: + +```javascript +// utils/feature-detection.js +export const Features = { + hasWakeLock: 'wakeLock' in navigator, + hasShare: 'share' in navigator, + hasClipboard: 'clipboard' in navigator, + hasBarcodeDetector: 'BarcodeDetector' in window, + hasViewTransitions: 'startViewTransition' in document, + hasFileSystemAccess: 'showSaveFilePicker' in window, + + // Camera features + async getCameraCapabilities() { + try { + const stream = await navigator.mediaDevices.getUserMedia({ video: true }); + const track = stream.getVideoTracks()[0]; + const capabilities = track.getCapabilities(); + track.stop(); + return capabilities; + } catch { + return {}; + } + } +}; +``` + +--- + +## 4.

Conclusion + +The QR Snapper project is well-architected but uses outdated tooling from 2018-2019. The recommended modernization approach prioritizes: + +1. **Build System First** - Move to Vite for immediate developer experience improvements +2. **Code Structure Second** - Break down large files for better maintainability +3. **Modern APIs Third** - Adopt new web platform features progressively + +The migration can be done incrementally without breaking existing functionality. The main benefits will be: + +- โšก **Faster development** (Vite HMR) +- ๐Ÿ“ฆ **Smaller bundles** (modern browsers, less transpilation) +- ๐Ÿงช **Better testability** (modular code) +- ๐Ÿ”ง **Easier maintenance** (modern tooling, better structure) +- ๐Ÿš€ **Better UX** (modern APIs like Wake Lock) + +**Recommendation:** Start with Vite migration, then tackle code restructuring, and finally adopt modern Web APIs incrementally based on browser support and user needs. + +--- + +## Appendix: Sample Migration Commands + +```bash +# Remove old dependencies +npm uninstall gulp gulp-* @babel/core @babel/preset-env @babel/register \ + rollup rollup-plugin-* del + +# Install Vite +npm install -D vite vite-plugin-pwa + +# Update comlink +npm install comlink@latest + +# Optional: Add testing +npm install -D vitest @vitest/ui + +# Optional: Add TypeScript support +npm install -D typescript @types/node +``` + +```json +// New package.json scripts +{ + "scripts": { + "dev": "vite", + "build": "vite build", + "preview": "vite preview", + "test": "vitest", + "type-check": "tsc --noEmit" + } +} +```
