How to display QR Scanner Box overlay?

[Huiting-Yeong]

I am able to successfully scan a QR code.

Would like to ask is there a feature to automatically display the QR scanner box overlay so users know where to focus there camera at?

Similar to the example screenshots at the readme.md page.

Thats something i'd like to have too and I think it's nothing else then a transparent Background but I didn't really put enough effort into it to figure it out.

Does anybody know what is the ideal size restriction of the overlay box?

you ca use html to display a box overlay, However it will be just for show , the plugin may read the qr even if its not placed inside your box completely.

This is something you should do in the CSS of your app. See https://github.com/bitpay/copay for an example.

@bitjson seems they are using @zxing/ngx-scanner .... not this plugin directly....
I also have no idea of the area this plugin uses to detect the QR.
Its not the entire camera stream right? its only the middle but not sure what size it is to then make something in CSS/HTML

Is there no way to directly integrate an overlay option?
