Hi everyone - I cobbled together a solution to allow users to scan QR Codes in Glide.
It works by using Image Picker in the Layout which then creates a URL of an image hosted by GlideApps that is input into Google Sheets. I then wrote a script in Google Sheets that takes the URL and runs it through an API that decodes QR images and then I used a REGEX in the script to pull out the relevant info I am looking for and output it into the relevant columns.
I did a short write up : https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/building-basic-access-records-tracker-contact-tracing-eu-zhijing and a video description for those of you who prefer to watch vs read : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tt6isGMkagw
Admittedly it is a bit ugly and inefficient - I have not tested whether it will scale but it sort of works for now. Hopefully, Glide introduces a native component to directly input QR Codes soon.
