📖 Overview & Entity Pitch

QR-Camera is a manifest v3 browser extension that intercepts webrtc media streams to inject synthetic qr codes and barcodes directly into virtual webcam feeds.

Note

This project is maintained under the MasterPandaa Engineering Lab ecosystem, strictly adhering to anti-slop technical documentation standards, deterministic test verification, and clean architecture.

🌟 The Problem vs The Solution

Dimensi	Pendekatan Konvensional	Pendekatan QR-Camera
Workflow Efficiency	❌ Manual physical scanning during web application testing is slow, non-deterministic, and impossible in headless CI/CD environments.	⚡ Direct media stream injection intercepts getUserMedia calls to feed pre-generated barcodes into the browser canvas seamlessly.
Operational Reliability	⚠️ Camera glare, autofocus delays, and variable ambient lighting cause intermittent test flakiness.	🎯 Pixel-perfect mock frames delivered deterministically at 60 FPS directly into the video element.
Privacy & Security	🔓 Third-party camera drivers require elevated system permissions and potential webcam spying risks.	🛡️ Runs entirely in the browser context with zero native binaries, zero telemetry, and local-only frame injection.
Developer Experience	🐌 Requires physical hardware setups and dedicated test devices at developer desks.	🚀 Installs as an unpacked browser extension with instant keyboard shortcut injection.

✨ Core Features

1. MediaStream Interception (WebRTC getUserMedia API):

   • Intercepts navigator.mediaDevices.getUserMedia calls to replace live video tracks with synthetic canvas streams.

2. Custom QR Generator (Canvas 2D Context):

   • Generates high-contrast QR codes and Data Matrix payloads on the fly from arbitrary string input.

3. Playback Injection (HTML5 Video Loop):

   • Supports looping pre-recorded MP4/WebM test footage directly into the virtual camera buffer.

4. Headless Test Automation (Playwright & Puppeteer):

   • Provides programmatic injection hooks for automated end-to-end testing pipelines.

⚡ Quickstart

Prasyarat Sistem

• Google Chrome >= 115, Microsoft Edge, or Brave Browser
• Node.js >= 18.0 (optional, for running extension test suites)

1. Kloning & Pemasangan Dependensi

git clone https://github.com/MasterPandaa/QR-Camera.git
cd QR-Camera
# No build step required for standalone extension

2. Konfigurasi Lingkungan

# Navigate to chrome://extensions or edge://extensions
# Enable 'Developer mode' toggle in top right
# Click 'Load unpacked' and select the QR-Camera folder

3. Menjalankan Aplikasi

# Open any web app requesting camera access
# Click the QR-Camera icon in the browser toolbar
# Type or select a QR payload to immediately inject into the video stream
